We're forking @FlutterDev - this is why (and you should help!): flutterfoundation.dev/blog/posts/we-…

@KhalidWarsa Which conference was better?

Attending tech conferences is so much fun I’m hooked. Already planning my next one.

@jezell @twerske @abasilio96 @_eseidel Flutter team onboarding probably needs to include the history of your X posts at this point - somehow I feel very sympathetic to both of you in this conversation 🤣

I guess we'll agree to disagree about whether telling someone that is spreading outdated nonsense that they are doing it is "name calling" or just a true statement. As for the merits of Skia, it is the thing Android actually uses and my comment was referring to @_eseidel's statement about it not being written for mobile, which while historically accurate is clearly misleading FUD since Android itself uses Skia as it's core rendering engine and has perfectly fine performance on mobile or that would not be the case. As for evidence, I've posted plenty of videos of Skia Graphite doing 120 FPS even when going through WASM, which is not as fast as native compilation. Flutter team needs to stop talking down about Skia because Skia is awesome and Impeller just simply isn't faster, more feature rich, or better. Those are facts. The only thing Impeller is, is smaller, less feature rich, and supported across a smaller number platforms. These are the facts.

I lead Dart and Flutter DevRel. Ask me anything.

The thing I like about this one is it shows Flocker doing a few things that Flutter still can't do: programmatic access to glyph outlines, direct Skia access, dynamic shader compilation, and WGSL vertex shaders. x.com/jezell/status/…

@jezell @progrium Isn’t most of that pure dart? Not related to a flutter embedder?

@SuprDeclarative @progrium dart:io, audio, input events, http, networking, etc.

After listening to @progrium's talk, I'm 100% convience the Plan 9 model is superior to how the Flutter embedder works. Going to do a spike to move Flocker embedder over to the Plan 9 model.

@jezell @progrium How does that relate to a flutter embedder?

@SuprDeclarative @progrium Everything is the filesystem. Way simpler than a million different protocols. Audio for example is just a file. You want to write audio to the device, you write to the file.

@tomgilder Impeller reinvented rendering. But didn’t reinvent font loading, glyph reporting, or text shaping. Those all still go through a select set of Skia Paragraph APIs.

It's such a headfuck how Flutter can do this but still can't render emojis the right size

@jezell @FlutterDev @pavanpodila Cool. Lemme know when you wanna jump on a call or something. I’m at an event in Vegas for the next few days but might have some downtime.

@SuprDeclarative @FlutterDev @pavanpodila Sure! Getting a pretty decent flow going at this point.

In this brief @FlutterDev demo of our new Docs example app, built with Super Editor, we check the relationship between the editor's selection and a loss of focus with the app menu.

@jezell @csells Damn EULAs

@SuprDeclarative Some kind of hive mind coding platform would be interesting. @csells has all the parts. Unfortunately the only swappable tokens which actually would save people money are locked behind terms which are officially written prevent such behavior.

Has anyone created a token exchange yet where you can sell your excess AI tokens at a discount? Like those sites to sell gift cards? Seems like something that will happen.

@jezell @FlutterDev @pavanpodila Never landed tree shape. Still planned but have had higher priorities. I actually plan to port prosemirror to dart and use that in super editor. You wanna show me how you get your agents porting while you sleep?

@SuprDeclarative @FlutterDev I was thinking @pavanpodila should be building on top of this... I think he needs tables and some things though. Super_editor still flat node list or did those other changes you were thinking about land?

@jezell In fact we even posted an early video. I guess we never posted the final menu behavior. Or maybe Angelo posted it so it’s not in my history. x.com/suprdeclarativ…

@jezell It’s funny how we had a menu like this in our own super editor clone of docs years ago and nobody cared 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

I think I'm gonna use this one. x.com/justinjmcc/sta…

@SouthwestAir if I’m already logged into your app, why do I have to login for wifi?

Thought this was fake but seems to be real. Straight up took the flutter logo and made it white.

Everything in this video is real-time 3D rendered in Flutter. No forks, no platform views, no secondary graphics context. Rendering, physics, gaussian splats, DICOM volumes, accessible scenes, embedded widgets, hot reload for every asset, instanced prefabs with arbitrary overrides, and much more. Get started at fscene.dev

Do you understand how to write custom render objects for @FlutterDev ? I’ve published guides, examples, and tools to help you: renderobjects.com

@KhalidWarsa @kiddo4lyf Seems like someone starting on a reinvention of Scene? Probly effort better spent contributing to Scene.

@kiddo4lyf @SuprDeclarative

Flutter devs shouldn't need to embed Unity just to show a 3D product viewer. so I'm building Glint a 3D engine where scenes are just Flutter widgets. pure Dart, flutter_gpu, hot reload works. day 1. building in public 👇

@KhalidWarsa Right. I’m saying the guy wasn’t from the universal or sky divisions I don’t think. I think he was core Comcast.

@SuprDeclarative I said more comcast brands cause Universal and Sky are owned by Comcast. Hopefully we other brands do the same.

Universal Studios and Sky TV going all in on Flutter surprised me, and I think we’re gonna see Comcast brands do the same given Universal’s success. My employer (major cruise line) takes Flutter seriously too but not as much as I would like. Gonna leave it at that. US companies have always been slower to adopt flutter but it’s slowly shifting especially given all the reorgs focusing on AI-powered smaller teams. They can get so much more done and put Flutter on platforms never thought possible thanks to AI. You aren’t seeing any of this on Twitter cause: 1. Corporations communicate thru PR teams. Employees can’t freely talk about what they’re working on. 2. The community was off boarded off this platform so there’s even less of them here to talk about what they’re working on. 3. AI took over the discourse making frameworks of choice even less relevant. “I use Codex” sounds more impressive than “I use Flutter”. Again, all of these don’t make Flutter’s progress less real. I get paid 6 figures to build guest facing mobile apps with Flutter. So does everyone on my team and adjacent teams.
