Too bad it's Windows-only, I wanted to try it since I build a flutter app at the moment but it does not run on Wine it seems.

- leppr 7y agoSurprising right? Considering Microsoft themselves understood development tools should be cross platform.
- solarkraft 7y agoWhat technology can one even choose in the current year to be confined to Windows? UWP?!
- zyl1n 7y agoWell it says Mac version coming soon, so may be he's still testing for Mac...
- tastroder 7y agoMicrosoft Visual C++ according to the pdb file in the Windows download, although the flutter_windows.dll (that likely does the rendering) file also contains some Chrome related stuff (not sure if it's just the skia graphics library or more from a cursory glance).
- pjmlp 7y agoSo the Flutter UI Builder is not written in Flutter? Good selling point right there.
- tluyben2 7y agoThat would be great... I'm still waiting until apps like this actually work on android/ios instead of only on laptops. UX I actually like to do in another atmosphere than programming; currently I just sit with an iPad + Pencil on the couch and work it out like that before I go back to the laptop and implement it. It would be nice to go a step further and actually create something I can then export to my laptop.
- norbert515 7y agoAuthor here, the widget maker is actually written in Flutter and it can definitely compile to Linux/ Mac/ Windows/ Android and anything that has a screen. Flutter Desktop, unfortunately, is still in a very early phase and I had some troubles getting the same experience one all platforms. I'm working on fixing those issues and I will provide a Mac version pretty soon and eventually a Linux and Android build too.
