This app was started in 2017 and it is still running today and making (way more modest than back then) revenue. It’s just that I don’t work on it anymore.

> This fundamentally does not work for anyone with more than 10M+ installs just like you can't write Mandarin and English in one script. Well, I did work on a Flutter app with a tiny team between 2018-2021 and we had 15M installs, w

I only have one meeting a month nowadays so I might take a look if that situation ever changes (hopefully it doesn't!). Regardless, congrats on the launch. > the macOS app and Chrome extension communicate via WebSockets on localhost

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked it! To be honest, I felt a little self-conscious about some parts of it, but generally, I'm quite happy with it. It also helps that Dart is a familiar language without too much magic!

For iOS apps, you need a Mac. Maybe (and this is theoretical) you could set up a combined Fastlane & CI integration that builds the apps using some cloud service, such as Macincloud, Bitrise, etc. Fastlane would then build and upload th

I actually don't have any experience in that, but I think that you can absolutely do it. From what I understand, the IDEs just call the Flutter CLI and Dart analysis server, among other tools to get stuff done. From the top of my head,

Thanks, glad you find it useful! And that's exactly the reason I open sourced it - I thought there was a need for a quite comprehensive but still simple sample app for people to learn :)

I don't really agree about pushing hard on Material Design. Sure, the current widget situation might be skewed towards Material components and Cupertino is lacking. For Material widgets, they've implemented almost everything, even

For the difference in coding time, it's hard to estimate. I'd say once you get the hang of it, which for me was quite fast, it's much more pleasant and generally faster than working with native Android. Hard UI related things

Like I said before in another comment, there's only so much I can fit in a Hacker News title. :) I'd like to think that a lot of people use the term "a cross-platform app" to mean "an app that works on Android and i

Disclaimer: It's been over a year and Xamarin could've improved a lot during that time. Coming from a Java/Kotlin background, I found C# to be really nice, but I had some issues with Xamarin tooling. I used Xamarin Studio and

I've been using Flutter for a year now, and I've loved it since the first time I gave it a try. In my work, I've been using other cross-platform technologies, such as Xamarin and React Native briefly (actually currently doing

There's only so much I could fit in the title, and I honestly didn't mean to mislead anyone. I can definitely see how it could be a little misleading now that you mentioned it. Sorry about that!

At least on Android, it turned out that if you claim that specific portion of the screen is, for example, android.widget.ScrollView, the system believes it. This can be verified with the HierarchyViewer. Some people in Flutter's Gitter

Qt is one of those things that I've heard of before, but did not know was still used for mobile development today. The monthly commercial license fee is a bit of a downer though. I feel that a lot of software development agencies (my w

As a native mobile developer of several years, I've always been somewhat skeptical of the various cross-platform solutions that have emerged over the years. The WebView-based solutions weren't fast enough and sometimes behaved dif
