![]() The concept of small states for every part of the app instead of a bigger store containing local state data was new to me.When you think of foods and drinks that give you immediate energy, coffee and other caffeinated products may come to mind. I was wondering on my sleepless nights why would one use it. But when the time came I had to use Bloc. I was a little familiar with it thanks to my past web dev experience. That one wasn’t frustrating, but my first real state management solution in Flutter was Redux. *checks flutter/flutter on GitHub for issues that he authored* haha, but that’s some minor stuff. Always use the right tool for the job folks!Īnd for the cooldown: what is the most frustrating thing that you have approached related to Flutter? Was there anything that was keeping you awake at night, thinking about this one particular issue? I use SizedBox for creating whitespace dividers and to set explicit sizes for widgets that need it, but don’t need alignment or whatnot (in which case I’d go for Container). □ Well, that of course depends on where. ![]() I love VS Code and Discord, but I feel like a 100MB app that only shows some UI and provides a pinch of logic is wrong. I want Flutter to be an equal Electron alternative. But it’s still a little bit too soon for me to have a stronger opinion on that.ĭesktop? Yes. But when I think about web applications… that could work. AFAIK it’s not as useful for people with disabilities as the “normal” Web is and I feel like it’s just not the right tool for a job. When it comes to the Web, I don’t think Flutter will succeed for ordinary websites. What do you think about Flutter for non-mobile platforms: web and desktop? Have you tried playing with it? If so, what are your impressions? Whether or not I’ll come up with another good idea for a library or tool - I don’t know. I’m still exploring ways on how I can make my life - and possibly the lives of many Flutter developers - easier. Right now I’m focusing on fixing reported bugs. I recently started working full-time and I sadly don’t have as much free time and drive for writing Arbify as I had before, but I hope it will change over time. I use it for a few of my personal projects too. I would love to continue developing Arbify as I know this tool really works and helps. What plans do you have regarding Arbify? Maybe you have some plans about creating another open-source Flutter library? I also like to make open-source stuff because a) I write code then and that’s what I like to do and b) if it helps someone, that’s amazing! I’m not quite sure how I got into open-source, but after some time of just using it, I started to contribute something here and there. It helps many people on many various levels. So, I decided to write one myself!ĭo you consider yourself an open-source contributor? What is your journey with open-source? There was no good tool for that, that worked flawlessly with Flutter and didn’t cost a fortune or wasn’t limited by the number of translated strings. Why have you started building Arbify? Why didn't you take advantage of one of the existing solutions from the market? It’s a tool that helps you and maybe your company in localizing your Flutter applications. I immediately liked it as it was somewhat similar to my frontend workflow doing HTML, but without the browser-compatibility-CSS-nightmare and also it was much, much better than Android’s XML views, in my opinion. I caught the opportunity and explored mobile development. Then, there was this contest, Google Code-in, I was helping Wikimedia with doing some open-source work in their app and that’s how I was introduced to Android development. I advanced as a web developer doing mostly PHP. At some point, I just googled “HTML” and that’s how my programming adventure began. I was interested in computers and programming since I was less than 10 years old. What's your background as a developer? How can you describe your way to Flutter?
