I built Shortcut Keeper ( https://shortcutkeeper.com ), a desktop app that lets you save keyboard shortcuts. It was mainly born out of my need to re-learn a lot of hotkeys when switching from using Windows to macOS. I wanted an ea

Last year, I built a desktop app with Flutter with native-looking UI, for both macOS and Windows: https://blog.whidev.com/native-looking-desktop-app-with-flut... Indeed, multi-window support is absolutely missing right now,

Plan to port this to Linux as well! Haven't look a lot about the available UI design option, but this could be useful: https://pub.dev/packages/yaru

Thanks for the kind words! Building can be a hassle, as you can only produce the release version on the host machine. This means there is a bit of back and forth between my Windows laptop and my iMac, but it's expected. I haven't

Yes! OP here, and I fully agree with your comments. Indeed, it should be trivial to make a separate package to handle picking the right UI component for each platform. And yes, the main advantage of my approach is that I use the exact same

OP here! It wasn't that hard to handle the conditional logic for the UI components. It can also be encapsulated in a separate package, something that is already available for Flutter on mobile (iOS and Android UI): https://g

Yes, that's certainly possible. It is also done for iOS and Android (Cupertino and Material) by another package: https://github.com/stryder-dev/flutter_platform_widgets It indeed can be extended to do a similar jo

Hi HN, Author of the post here! Didn't expect this to be posted here and making the rounds, so I will try to give some more context. First, you can check a short presentation of the app's features in a previous post: https:/

Why? It all started with the e-mail that e-Food sent (admittedly not well-vetted), which was shared on social media and went viral. People started writing negative reviews, starting hashtags, etc. without even being aware of the stuff I not

Before grabbing the pitchforks on this, please note that: - The email they sent was about ~100 of the 3,000+ delivery drivers that had a low performance rating. - Instead of just terminating their 3-month employee contract at once, the comp

Yes, the extremely detailed world map is coming this month! I have spent many hours on it and it depicts all first-level administrative divisions of countries. It needs some more polishing though, so please stay tuned!
