Many people follow the official Flutter channel, and there is a well-known rubric called Observable Flutter, which invites the most renowned contributors and open-source activists.

Recently, Dane Mackier, the author of Stacked, presented the library and I aim to provide an overview of his brainchild. My objective is to inform and increase awareness of the architecture and principles presented, rather than critique.

Read about it in my article. This should be interesting for folks who don't use stacked as well.

Effective documentation in Dart.

A simple, but cool rule from the Effective Dart documentation is:
• Begin documentation comments with a concise summary sentence.

As developers, we often get caught up in the complexities of our solutions, big or small, and lose sight of the broader picture - the reason for documenting.

The solution is uncomplicated: simply organise your thoughts and write a brief, descriptive sentence about what the method accomplishes overall. Following that, explain how the method is used and what it does.

Bonus points if you add section like "see more" that gives links to associated resources for more documentation.
