Do you write automated tests for your Flutter projects?
Why do or don't you write tests? For me, I rarely write them because my app design changes so fast that tests immediately become outdated. Maybe I just don't have enough experience writing tests, but they cost me more time than they have ever saved me.View Poll

Moodly - My Summer Fling with Flutter (Open Source)
I'm a first year software engineering student, and I was fortunate enough to get an internship as as developer this summer. Here, I picked up flutter, so in my own time I decided to make a side-project out of it!I'd appreciate anyone who downloads my app! The app's concept is pretty run-of-the-mill, but it was a good learning exercise and I definitely had fun with it!Google Play StoreSource Code

People who've used both Go and Dart to create backend servers for Flutter apps, what's your view of Dart on the server?
This arguably should be on the Dart subreddit but it was inspired by the Node.js post that's currently on the front page here. Quite a few people expressed love for Dart on the server. We all know the problems with the Javascript ecosystem, but I'm interested in a comparison of Go vs Dart on the server side.Background: I'm writing a Flutter app with a Go backend. I originally started with Go, decided to try some managed services like Firebase, then went back to Go. Somewhere along the way I thought "Why not just use Dart?" and after a few hours of research decided that the server-side libraries just weren't as mature as Go's. Go just seems tailor-made for servers from the concurrency features to the rich server-centric standard library.I'm not trying to shit on Dart by any means. The value and power of Flutter should be inherently obvious and Dart powers that. I just want to know from experienced developers using Dart on the backend, what made you choose it over Go if you also knew Go? Was it just to keep a single-language stack? Are there any specific features or libraries in Dart that attracted you to it for server-side work? What are you using other than the standard library? Any Dart-specific anecdotes about backend development?

SwiftSet - Advanced exercise searching app. Made with Flutter
Hey guys I had originally built this app with android native but I realized I needed to create and IOS version and Flutter was the perfect solution so I completely rewrote it in Flutter!I follow a ton of lifting YouTube channels and blogs and have found a ton of good exercise variations from them but it's impossible to remember every exercise when writing a new program so I built an app to help people find all those exercises quickly.There's over 1100 in the database now and you can search for them by any combination of the following:Muscle GroupMovement PatternEquipment NeededTempoCompound or IsolationUnilateral ExercisesPush or Pull ExercisesGripPlyometricsLevel Of Inclineand moreAfter you find an exercise save it to your favorites or watch and example video!Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.michaeloles.swiftset&hl=en

New tweet from FlutterDev:

Our writer @kwalrath also works with docs for the Exposure Notifications API — part of a Google-Apple effort to enable apps that notify users of recent viral exposures.

This new doc helps officials determine what counts as a meaningful exposure.

What is the future for Flutter web and PWAs?
I've been developing an app in Flutter for over a year. It's the first app I ever developed, and I chose Flutter because I could simultaneously develop for Android and iOS; Dart was easy to pick up and more like the backend languages I'm used to; the framework just "made more sense" to me compared with native code in which I've dabbled; and the design looks good out of the box.Unfortunately I could not get my app past the censors at either the Play Store or the App Store, and I am unwilling to change my app to suit capricious rules that restrict market access. Consequently, I am painstaking converting my app into a Flutter web app. I've almost got it, but it wasn't quite as smooth as I hoped, and I had to roll back some functionality. Many packages that I would consider core to a developer are still not web-enabled.All this makes me wonder what the outlook is for Flutter web. Do you think Google will really invest the necessary resources to make Flutter on the web as good as it is for mobile? Does the developer community really expect progressive web apps to rival native apps in functionality and user experience in the near future (say, 1-2 years)? If I ever find the time to do a complete rewrite of my app, provided I stay on the web, should I be looking at Angular or some other framework to replace Flutter?

Launching an isolate on macOS
Hi everybody, I'm trying to launch an isolate on macOS with an entrypoint in a library (that's not the main app library). On iOS, this is done with the FlutterEngine class's -runWithEntrypoint:libraryURI: method, but the macOS method does not have a libraryURI parameter. Is there a way to do

Built a flutter app? Would you have still built in flutter knowing what you know now?
So I am considering building an app in Flutter, other candidates are Meteor JS, React Native and Xamarin. I've found the best way to find out about a framework is; ask someone who has built a flutter app, if, knowing what you know now, would you have still built your app in flutter or used a different framework? Can you list the bugs/issues you encountered so I'm filled in on what to expect? Also would be good to know if you have built apps in other frameworks, ie, you can compare the development experience of flutter to other frameworks.Here's some information about the app I need to build:The app lets users book a certain type of freelancer. So users will search for relevant freelancers near them, view their profiles, book (and pay for) a freelance service.
To be released on iOS and Android
Will use the phones gps to list users around them
Users will make purchases within the app
Users login/register/logout
Tiny development team (2 developers)
Ridiculously short development time (2-3 months to build the MVP)
Needs to display a calendar on the device so users can make bookings, pay for bookings, cancel bookings.
If we use flutter we plan to use Firebase as the 'server'/backend. So we plan to use the firebase Stripe plugin to handle payments, use firebase to send emails and push notifications, use firebase to store users, bookings, etc.
PS: does anyone know of a good flutter sample app or boilerplate we could use as a starting point? Any sample app that lists products/users/etc and allows for purchases would be a great starter project we could build off on and hopefully achieve a short dev time.

Question about using Flame vs making the whole game myself?
Hey guys, if you saw my pacman video a week ago, I’m going down a rabbit hole of making games with flutter. I am now trying to build platform style games where a character can jump. I made it without using any packages and just coded it from scratch. I have never used FLAME before but apparently that’s really good to build games. Similar to how you don’t need to reinvent the wheel, it’s probably more practical to use a package like Flame instead of coding the whole game myself right? On the flipside I see some beauty and neatness to just creating it from scratch. What do you guys think?https://instagram.com/createdbykokoYou can check out my MARIO jumping that I made without Flame on my instagram

Best firebase structure to use for messaging app?
I read this in a post on reddit that one document per message is expensive and shouldn't be used to make a messaging app. the user also suggested to use some sort of array structure to store the messages.. I'm really confused. what do you think should be the best structure for messaging or should I just use third party apis
