A little insight into what I’ve been working on lately with @FlutterDev and @rive_app with a bit of help from Firebase AI ✨

[Jesse Ezell @jezell]

People saying Flutter is dead because AI makes it easier to make native apps are missing that AI also makes it easier to make Flutter better 😂

I had a bit of a headache today so, instead of being productive, I wrote a rant. Here it is:

@luke_pighetti FINALLY

@chimon1984 Yet to really try it out, how is the mutation syntax feeling? I know there was a lot of back and forth on that

@caseycrogers I’ve used them a lot too, both in Flutter and React and I abandoned them on Flutter after having to onboard some devs to use them. They just feel too alien in a Flutter codebase and are so easy to mess up with

[Luke Greenwood 💙 @_luketg8]

@caseycrogers I completely agree, I have done similar with both builders and mixins!

[Luke Greenwood 💙 @_luketg8]

@caseycrogers Also async handling goes beyond just forms too. Internally standardising (as much as possible) loading, success + error states and just overall async flow in general is a must

[Luke Greenwood 💙 @_luketg8]

@caseycrogers I'd also argue StatefulWidgets aren't tedious for init/disposal compared to the extra complexity of another abstraction layer, I actually have grown to quite like the in your face explicit lifecycles compared to something like hooks

[Luke Greenwood 💙 @_luketg8]

@caseycrogers I'm all for abstracting the logic into functions/classes outside the widget, just not the part that directly interacts with the form or other ephemeral state. Flutter already handles that well within widgets - adding extra controllers just adds unnecessary boilerplate

[Luke Greenwood 💙 @_luketg8]

@caseycrogers imo a form controller here creates unnecessary indirection when Flutter already has built in support for forms and local state, so you're just fighting the framework 👇
