Fragment shaders in Flutter let you create complex visuals that run directly on GPU. This issue covers some theory, practical examples, and implementation guides.

Reworked the old article about shapes:
- class hierarchy overview
- more examples on built-in shape border implementations
- updated custom border example
- removed clipping examples from article

Big thanks to PlugFox for pointing out issues with the previous revision of the article

A new separate article on clipping with more meaningful examples is coming later

Recently had the pleasure of giving a talk at the Flutter Riga meetup.

It was my first time speaking on stage. For someone who has a social anxiety disorder, it was really hard to dare to do it.

I picked up a few useful lessons, one being that live coding doesn't work particularly well at offline events 😄

Now I’m applying to a few other conferences this summer

Haven’t been posting anything in a while. Been busy working hard, and got laid off.

Now I have a lot of free time, so I might write some new articles too. However, not sure what they should look like to be useful, given how advanced AI has become. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

Meanwhile, I’m building an app for those who want to improve their CLI skills. The app is super simple. Just save commands you want to know better; the app breaks them down to smaller concepts and generates a flashcard deck to help memorize them. Currently available on iOS, other platforms coming (very) soon. Got some positive feedback on the UI from early users, so I’m also working on making an open-source component library based on that.

I got tired of Debug Console, so I built a replacement.

Features:
• real search and filtering
• log-level filters
• JSON syntax highlighting
• copy logs from/to a selected line
• more small quality-of-life fixes

Feel free to submit feature requests and bug reports!

Tested only in Cursor, but should work in VS Code and other forks
