Live Remote Skin Engine Demo | Change Flutter Colors Without Rebuilding. This is the first demo of flutterskin — a remote skin engine for Flutter I've been building for the past few months. This is the alpha. Color tokens only for now. Typography, ...

I have just published an article on using dart:mirrors for reflection and dynamic invocation in Dart. Many languages support reflection, and Dart is among them. The article introduces the package—which provides reflection support in Dart—examines its...

Automatically capture frame drops jank and isolate rendering bottlenecks on the UI and Raster threads directly in your dev console Every Flutter developer knows the pain of subtle micro-stuttering 1. A slight visual hiccup when navigating routes. 2...

In a real app, an endpoint is rarely just an endpoint. It is a tiny agreement between the backend, the network client, the request model, the repository, the use case, the UI state, and sometimes one very tired developer trying to remember whether th...

Today started with one of those tasks that looks almost too small to deserve a branch: prepare the Flutter app for dark mode by making sure colors are centralized. Simple enough, right? Find the hardcoded colors. Move them into AppColors class. Rep...

Just shipped Zesto — a full food delivery ecosystem with 4 Flutter apps and a Firebase backend. Here's what the build taught me. What's in the project Customer App — OTP login, restaurant discovery, cart, Razorpay payments, live driver tracking on...

The Coordinated BLoC Pattern in Flutter — A Practical Guide > This post is based on real production code. Every mistake documented here was hit in the wild, debugged, and understood the hard way. At first, coordinating multiple BLoCs from initStat...

Some days in Flutter are not about huge refactors or dramatic crashes. Some days are about a button that says one thing and does another. Today’s task looked harmless: clean up a few dialog buttons in an event-planning mobile app. The dialogs were a...

You're building a Flutter app. Everything feels smooth — taps register instantly, animations glide, scrolling is butter. Then one day you load a large dataset. Maybe 15,000 transactions from a crypto API. Maybe a chunky image processing job. Maybe j...

Flutter's widget system looks deceptively simple on the surface — everything is a widget, you compose them, and the UI appears. But once you go deeper, you realize Flutter made a very deliberate architectural decision by splitting widgets into two ki...

I spent part of today staring at a selfie that looked completely normal in the app until it became a profile photo. That sentence sounds harmless. It was not harmless. The face verification flow looked fine while running. The camera preview was upr...

Some tasks arrive wearing a tiny hat. Today’s was: “inspect the vendor search screen.” Simple enough. Search screen, endpoint response, pagination, a couple of screenshots. Nothing too wild. Then I looked closer and realized the UI was quietly mak...

Hey everyone, Surendra Kumar here, a self-taught Flutter developer from Banda, India. I've spent a good chunk of my time building and shipping production apps, like those I worked on for Gfood Delivery Private Limited. Today, I want to share the stor...

Most tutorials show how to connect to a WebSocket. Very few show what happens when: The network drops DNS fails The server stops sending data The stream silently hangs This article focuses on handling those cases properly. The Problem A bas...

Today’s task looked harmless from the outside: show unread notifications, let users mark them as seen, and put a red dot on the bell icon when there is something new. Classic mobile app stuff. Nothing dramatic. Just a bell, a list, a few cards, and ...

Today I worked on one of those bugs that sounds suspiciously simple when someone describes it. "When a new message comes in, the message screen updates. But when I open the chat, the message is not there. If I go back, refresh, and open it again, th...

If you’ve been building with Flutter for a while, you’ve definitely heard terms like AOT and JIT thrown around. Maybe you know debug is slower than release. Maybe you’ve wondered what actually ends up inside your APK. But like… what’s really goin...

> "First make it work, then make it beautiful and robust." I'm a junior dev. I built a real app — Anahadhttps://anahad.space — that real people use. And for a while, I was proud of it. Then it grew. And I wasn't so proud anymore. This isn't a text...
