@ASalvadorini Interesting, I have used Bloc/Cubits a lot in my time. Will need to try out your new state management and see what it is all about. Been out of the Flutter game for a few months now.

@domdom______ @EmmaBostian Found it https://t.co/Eg3iC7YZAH

Ugh, it's gotten so cold even the @RiveoApp onboarding will freeze over. This will probably tank conversion:/ #shaders #metal #fx #ios

[Iain Smith 💙 @b099l3]

@CFDevelop @timsneath Yeah espically compaired to larger runners https://t.co/cmVsJA7o4r

Can someone remind we why we don't use gRPC for everything?

[Iain Smith 💙 @b099l3]

@luke_pighetti Been using Twirp with https://t.co/D5kBvueRXK at @teamlollipopAI for ages. So awesome in terms of fast API development, versioning and easy documentation. We focus on customer impact, so easy to work at speed once we moved from REST. Need to write a blog post on it.

Folks, he is back! @resocoder https://t.co/yym2VDDJwr

So now that it's December. When will the code freeze start at your company, assuming you have one?

Also, now that the App Store isn't closed during the holidays, does this change anything with the code freeze?

[Iain Smith 💙 @b099l3]

@verry_codes Seems to be happening to me more and more. Google really clamping down on privacy policies

New era for the sports industry

It's time for folks to really start looking at how spatial computing will change sports for ever.

What used to cost millions and take weeks, can now happen in real-time and cost close to nothing.

I ran the New York Marathon in 3:24:36 - One of the best days

[goodtimerunningclub @goodtimerunnin]

Incredibly proud of @b099l3 who ran the New York marathon today. Well done from all of us 🫶

@biz84 💯 I have come across a lot of Clean Architecture Zealots - layers for no good reason because it’s “clean”

I think there is a certain level of feeling safe in something they kind of understand and don’t want to think about why/what they are doing it.

[Iain Smith 💙 @b099l3]

@emmadenagbe @felangelov A fine example of people getting confused and joining the mob

[Iain Smith 💙 @b099l3]

@felangelov Totally agree, I don’t want to look at Flutter tweets on X - as it is a cesspit of people rippin on others work. Someone posts an article then a bunch of people, trying to be thought leaders, picking it apart. Feels toxic there needs to be an attitude change for better debates

[Iain Smith 💙 @b099l3]

@mhadaily We are building @teamlollipopAI in Flutter. Helping get the shopping done smarter and healthier

Playing around in @rive_app. Trying to recreate a level/optical illusion from Monument Valley.

[Renan 💙 @reNotANumber]

Guess what game engine I used for this?

A: It's #FlameEngine on top of @FlutterDev.

This is the result of combining fragment shaders with some oof the great APIs on Flame. Namely: CameraComponent and Collision detection.
Made this for #flutterConfLATAM
