Analysis of Stack Overflow 2021 Developer Survey for Flutter Developers
I wrote an article about the results of the Stack Overflow 2021 Developer Survey with a focus on what it means for Flutter developers or people who are deciding whether or not to use Flutter versus either native SDK or React Native or even Cordova.These are my opinions and I welcome other viewpoints as it will help me to learn. Thank you.​Flutter is loved, second only to .NET, because of the Flutter workflow. 68% love Flutter, 73% love .NETCordova is dead in the water, so you only need to compare Flutter with React NativeEnthusiasm for Flutter by developers will push Flutter into the enterprise in the next yearAlthough growing rapidly, Flutter is not as popular among professional software developers, likely because Flutter is newer than React Native, 16% React Native, 13% FlutterFlutter "Want" is below React Native, likely because more developers are familiar with React Web. 18% want React Native versus 16% want Flutter. My opinion is that in the final 10% of development for production of both iOS/Android release, that developers will have more problems with React Native. Realistically there will also be problems with Flutter for many appsDart language is solid, but not really a big draw. Dart has less language features compared to Java/C++, but most developers don't need those features, so enjoy the simplicity of Dart. Hey, I don't need to access or manage memory in that great detail for my apps.The Dart tools including the technology for hot-restart, hot-reload, and build to native are a big draw. It works for me. :-)Flutter Web and Flutter Desktop are not ready for production, so don't count on those advantages for single enterprise deployment. I could provide a long list of current problems, but let's just throw out lack of SEO on Flutter Web and slow initial load times to give people a feel.Flutter is great to use right now in production. However, the most successful projects, are led by people who read beyond the hype and understand the shortcomings of any technology so they can allocate resources accordingly.

Feedback on Flutter Design Patterns
Hello everyone!For your convenience, I've created a list in Medium where you can find all the articles about Flutter Design Patterns in a single place here.Also, I have some plans to deploy all of these articles, code examples and the app itself under the specific domain soon. This series became really popular among the Flutter Community, that was basically the beginning of my journey in Flutter world and a significant push to become a GDE later on, too. Hence, if you have any other requests on how I can improve this project in any way - please, let me know.Save trees. Stay SOLID. Enjoy! 💙Mangirdas Kazlauskas @ mkobuolys

Experience of Flutter after web dev and question to Flutter devs
Hello,This is not a help request, but rather a question to communityLearning Flutter for 3nd month now and I'm a bit overwhelmed by styling in Flutter. In web dev styling GUI felt way easier, using CSS/SCSS and HTML.Especially, when you got such a simple task to do like to make a button's border rectangular, instead of round. And.. you're f-ked up, because whereas in CSS you could do it in one line: border-radius: 5px;
But in Flutter, oh boy, I have to google it for some time to find working solution, finding it only on third-party websites like Stack Overflow, because documentation simply doesn't contain it for some unknown reason.When I go looking for it I open documentation, search for ElevatedButton: here's link. Then I see mentioning of a shape attribute and head there: link. And boom! it only has declaration of the field: OutlinedBorder? shape. No information on how to use it, what kind of OutlinedBorder class descendant should I use with ElevatedButton.Compare it to CSS: I google it, I immediately get an answer and few usage examples.Moreover, eventually after finding the answer some time gets spent on figuring out that:

shape: MaterialStateProperty.all<RoundedRectangleBorder>( RoundedRectangleBorder( borderRadius: BorderRadius.zero, side: BorderSide(color: Colors.red) ) ) 

piece doesn't work, although it's mentioned everywhere, you only need to use RoundedRectangleBorder.I find the task of remembering these class names/constructions very hard, considering the fact that many items get deprecated/renamed/moved/etc. And documentation doesn't make it any easier, as if you even a bit custom behavior (like rectangular border) you need to google around for a while.So I would like to ask the Flutter community how do you cope with such situations? Do you plain remember all these class names? Or you keep a personal dairy to quickly take out solutions later?

Google trends, what happened in late 2020?
I was just comparing Xamarin, Flutter and React Native on Google trends and noticed a big drop for flutter and react native near the end of 2020. Does anyone know what caused this? I doubt people just stopped searching for them from one day to another so its probably something else. https://imgur.com/a/zCJPyFW

KFC digital transformation
Digitalization automates sales, and the business grows faster and scales better. KFC serves millions of customers and to process such a number of orders, they needed a proper internal tool. Evrone optimized the usual processes for the digital part of KFC customer service. The main challenges were to automate data exchange and build a single tool for employees working in the system. We did research, prototyping the wireframing, UI\UX of the ERP system, and frontend development. Take a look at the visual system we developed for KFC on Behance.

How much of your workflow relies on packages?
I ran into an issue where I was updating code to be null-safe and one of the packages I used (mockito)for my workflow wasn’t updated, I did resolve it, but it left me questioning how much I should rely on packages.

Off my chest: Null safety ruined the flutter ecosystem...
Null safety ruined the flutter ecosystem.....not because it is a bad language feature, but because package developers do not understand its use.I am migrating to null safety, and every package I use from official plugins, to firebase, ALL are fast and loose with null types.In short......all the libs just return nullable types. Its like they didn't even bother to put thought into how they migrated and were just like "fuck it, we will just return all nullable types and let the users of our libraries deal with the complexities of null type"Here ye here ye!Package developers on the flutter team....and far and why, all you inept sons of bitches.....listen well and listen carefully!!!THINK BEFORE YOU DECLARE SOMETHING NULLABLE TYPE. INSULATE YOUR USERS FROM NULL TYPES, DON'T PUSH THAT COMPLEXITY TO THEM. NULL TYPES ARE THERE FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE WITH SPECIFIC IMPLICATIONS, DO NOT USE NULL TYPES LAZILY OR HAP HAZARDLY!GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.Upvote this.....the madness needs to stop. Package devs need to do null safety properly.EDIT: If you run into a package that returns unjustified, null types, submit an issue and hold them accountable. This issue will hurt flutter hard if it is not rectified.

Scored! - Simple way to keep track of anything countable
Hey all,TL:DRI published a free & ad-free Flutter app named Scored! for Android and Web. You can find the app on Google Play, the Web app here and the sources on Gitlab.Long versionYears ago (in 2016!), I published my very first Android app, Scored!, made in Java then rewritten in Kotlin.A few years later, I discovered Flutter and decided to update my app and rewrite everything in Flutter! At that point, I still had never advertised it outside of a few friends.A couple more years later (a couple months back), I decided to upgrade to Flutter 2 and rewrote everything once again (because the whole flow and design is different from the previous version).And now, I'm trying to advertise it a bit! (I'm not advertising it to make money, it's a free and ad-free app, I would just like to see other people using my app :) )The app is meant to be a simple way to keep count of anything. I mostly made it because I used to play board games a lot and a lot of those don't really have a way to keep track of the scores. Even though that was the base idea, Scored! can be used to keep track of anything countable.The first version had no history, meaning you'd lose everything once you closed the app. For the v2, I wanted to have an easy way to access my previous games, which was then added to the app as the main screen.Additional info for the devsI'm using HiveDB for the history part, I thought I'd use SQLite, but I decided to try something I didn't know (and don't use at work)I'm also using Provider to handle the language and dark mode togglesI'm deploying on web using Gitlab CI and on the PlayStore using FastlaneThe app has been tested on macOS and would probably also work on windows, linux and iOS, even though the design is made using Material Design widgets. But I don't build those version. (Because I don't have an Apple developer license, nor a windows/linux computer to build on)Everything is on the Gitlab repositoryIf you have any question, suggestions, remarks,... I'll be checking this thread and reply to everyone 👍Thanks for reading, and thanks a lot to anyone who tries Scored!!
