Flutter Founder here. I'm very pro open-source, and pro taking-action, so hopefully good things will come out of it. I think this particular author is mostly stirring up a bunch of noise and does not represent a significant chunk of

https://flutter.dev/showcase has a few examples. Flutter is everywhere at this point. TikTok in China (Douyin), PUBG Mobile, MGM Resorts, eBay Motors, Kijiji.com, Grab are a few off the top of my head. And of course a w

Flutter founder here. When I led the Google team we had pretty good analytics. `flutter` was for a long time opt-out with analytics and would phone home to Google and report usage. We filtered out docker containers and things that looked l

I brought SVG to WebKit, back in 2005. So I guess I'm part of the problem. I generally agree with the article, SVG is bloated and confused about what it's trying to do. You're not alone in wanting something better. We had t

I'd probably start simpler. I'd just start with either cbracken or matan's rules and see if I could get some basic Flutter projects building nicely with Bazel. Then I'd look to see how it would make sense to integrate w

Yes. Works with any Dart code (no restrictions whatsoever), including code generation. Also works with flavors.

That’s the intent, yes.

We've seen 1000s of releases in the last year, and not had a single complaint about rejections. In general, Shorebird provides the tech, intended to help you comply with your obligations to these stores. There can be good actors and

I agree 100%. Flutter needs a real build system. Bazel could be that? Feels better than inventing a new one. Google has Flutter and Dart rules, yes, but they were started so long ago (for Google AdWords, which uses Dart on the Web), and h

Yeah, we picked "code push" to start with as that seemed to be the common term for similar: https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-code-push It's possible we'll end up with a more Flutter-focused

Every time you launch YouTube, or TikTok or Facebook, or any large game, (or any App with a WebView), yeah. https://docs.shorebird.dev/faq#does-shorebird-comply-with-pl... https://docs.shorebird.dev/faq#does

YouTube, TikTok, FaceBook (and any large game) have code push. And of course every app that uses a WebView or any other OTA service. I do think code push is hard to get right. I think that's one of the values hopefully Shorebird can

Desktop is one of our most requested features: https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/397 I suspect we still have many months of work to do for iOS and Android code push. Mostly a lot of features

My understanding is there has been a lot of discussion about this. It's not something I'm actively pushing for. One of the things I'm excited for with Shorebird is creating an economic entity whose purpose is moving Flutter f
