By the way, our beloved Flutter is celebrating today its 7th anniversary since its official release. So, happy birthday to everyone involved in its development and development with it! 🎉🎉🎉

📌 And for those who want to remember how it was, or even missed that moment, here is an article announcing that very first version.

Macros were a highly demanded feature in the community, largely because they would eliminate the tedious code-generating in everyday routines. Recently, a package has been revealed that addresses precisely these kinds of tasks.

📌 The library can be found at this link.

When an application needs a support chat for its users, it usually comes down to fairly large providers whose prices aren’t exactly what you’d call affordable. Some of our channel’s subscribers have launched their own service that offers similar functionality but at a much more modest price. And since their solution is Flutter-first, integrating it into a Flutter application is even more convenient.

📌 The website of the product is at the link.

P.S. Wishing the team the best of luck as they continue to grow their product.

A code editor in Flutter? Why not.

The package provides a visually similar to VSCode editor with various features:
👉 Syntax highlighting
👉 LSP integration
👉 Theming
👉 AI completer
👉 And much more

It looks pretty interesting.

Recently, there was a live stream #FlutterFlightPlans.

It lasted a full two hours 😄. They talked and showed a lot, with a Q&A section.

In our opinion, the most interesting parts were the significant improvements to the build_runner speed. As well as the upcoming language features: Augmentations and Primary Constructors, which will make our favorite Dart even better.

Our team wishes you in the coming year many pleasant surprises, new opportunities, and good health so that you can fulfill all these opportunities top notch.

Happy New Year!

Quite a substantial article, but no less interesting, on the topic of creating an exercise repetition counter based on MediaPipe.

Alexey Inkin describes the implementation process in great detail, with links to the code.

We also recommend checking out the author’s previous article on working with MediaPipe.

By the way, there’s a web demo available here 😁

The Flutter team is working on a generalized mechanism to bring tree-shaking of assets and native code to packages. For this purpose, they want to mark the class IconData as final. This will break code that implements or extends IconData.

📌 If you are potentially affected by this change, you can give feedback by replying to the issue.

Any technology needs to have a clear entry point. This has never been a problem for Dart and Flutter, as there are many official tutorials and detailed documentation available. It is nice to see that the team is not stopping and continues to improve in this area—new getting started materials were recently announced.

Information has surfaced online about the development of the first console-oriented game engine with full Flutter integration, named Fluorite.

It belongs to Toyota—what an unexpected twist 😄

For now, everything is shrouded in secrecy: no code, no repository, but it sounds intriguing.
