   Awesome video. It's interesting, informative, and entertaining. Founders I talk to that are doing hardware, broadly speaking, say it's a competitive advantage as it's not as crowded. Content like Aaed's will hopefully nu

   The breach of trust here, which is hard to imagine isn't intentional, is enough reason alone to stop using Vercel, and uninstall the plugin. That part is easy. Most of these agents can help you migrate if anything. The question is on w

   Hi HN, I’m one of the founders of FlutterFlow (YC W21). We launched Dreamflow earlier this year. What it is: Dreamflow generates a Flutter app from a prompt, then lets you keep working in a real dev environment with a visual editor, AI agen

    Agreed, making it more natural to create apps in a way that follows Flutter best practices is a desirable end goal. There's so much to improve, it's exciting :-)

    It's not quite an apples-to-apples comparison, but the memory use of FlutterFlow is comparable to WebFlow. Our landing page is built using WebFlow, and I compared memory use of that to a comparably sized project in FF. Performance coul

    Thanks for the suggestions! Yes, there's definitely room for improvement with the generated code ... I think the padding -> SizedBox conversion at least in some cases (only when main-axis padding is added) can be automated. We can e

    There were a lot of issues with custom widgets when we first launched the feature, we've deployed several fixes since then. But there's still more to do on our end to make it clear what errors you're getting. Thanks for the s

    The reasons we prioritized Firebase is because it works really well with Flutter and was also what most of our early users preferred. FlutterFlow itself is in fact a Flutter+Firebase app. We take the best ways we know how to build Flutter+F

    Yep, you can push the latest changes directly to Github. We always use a specific branch "flutterflow". Users can then merge in changes, as long as the changes on the main branch are not changing the layout visuals significantly,

    Thanks! We're gonna work hard to get it to a place where the set up you love and are used to is also available in FF (or vice versa), and that you get the best of both worlds.

    Thanks for your feedback! The reason we don't have this yet is only because we're a small team, but we're growing and will definitely have NGO/non-profit discounts!

    Re: AppGyver, one big difference is the ability to generate clean code that can be exported. And there's also Flutter, which we think is the framework that will finally make low-code app builders work. Being able to easily search and

    We don't support editing code in FlutterFlow atm. But this is something we want to enable. What we see a lot of our users do now is push to Github (flutterflow branch), and merge in to their main branch where they have their custom log
