- Building a chat app ‘without’ Firebase in Flutter

A typical Flutter chat app uses Firebase services to build the functionalities. But I have built a cross-platform chat app which uses CometChat SDK as the backend. I have used the power of Channels in Flutter to implement realtime messaging communication.

- Flutter Desktop Concept

A go-flutter-desktop GLFW plugin example.
In this example we are answering issue #214: “how to drag undecorated window”.

go-flutter has multiples option, one of them been flutter.WindowMode(flutter.WindowModeBorderless).
This example uses this option, which hide the window decoration (title bar, close/maximize/.. buttons) making the window un-draggable using 'classic' mouse interaction.

- How to run Flutter in the background?

We are in the process of porting the VRT NWS app to Flutter.
Our app consists of multiple news feeds with various contents:

  • Headlines
  • Recent news
  • Popular news

When a user opens the app, the user quickly wants to get the latest news.
Besides performing a network call when the feed becomes visible, we also setup a
background job which periodically fetches the latest articles.
This is a setting that is exposed to the user.

- Text-to-speech with Flutter

From time to time my five-year-old son approaches me with a piece of paper on which he painted a few letters and asks me to read it out loud to him. Then he laughs, disappears with the note and returns some time later with even more letters. This process can go on for a while.

Since I don’t have that amount of time, I thought to myself: Why not write my son an app, so that in the future I can lie undisturbed on the couch. A good opportunity to try Flutter! The goal: An app where a child can enter letters, numbers and words, which are then read out loud. from Arend Kühle

- Flutter — Portrait and Landscape Layouts

In this article we will explore how to build a Flutter form that can display itself beautifully whether in a portrait or landscape orientation. If you’ve ever built a Flutter form you’ve probably found it to be pretty easy to support a portrait orientation. But rotate the phone sideways and oops! — things don’t look quite as nice.

- Building a Water Tracking App with Flare & Flutter

Flare is a powerful animation tool that you can use for both UI and character design in apps and games. By using Flare, you can easily improve the user experience of your mobile application by adding fluid animations that your users can interact with. Flare has runtimes that support an array of languages, and for this, we’ll be using the Flare-Flutter runtimes found here. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to export a Flare file and build it into an app using Flutter. You’ll need to sign up for a 2Dimensions account here and set up your Flutter dev environment using these instructions. from she who codes

- A Closer Look at the Provider Package

Provider is a state management package written by Remi Rousselet that has been recently embraced by Google and the Flutter community. But what isstate management? Heck, what is state? Recall that state is simply the data that represents the UI in our app. State management is how we create, access, update, and dispose this data. To better understand the Provider package, let’s look at a brief history of state management options in Flutter. from Martin Rybak

- Flutter and the Command Line — a Love Story

Using an IDE such as IntelliJ’s Android Studio or Visual Studio Code for developing Flutter apps makes our lives easier. At a push of a button, we can deploy our app, debug it, hot-reload, etc… And although we can have hotkeys to dismiss using the mouse, it can be troublesome having to move your mouse all around the screen. Or, you just like using the terminal or are curious about it and want to know different ways to interact with Flutter. from Gonçalo Palma
