First day of I/O: things that I want to investigate further: Spark AI, New updates in Stitch and GitHub integration, WebMCP, Antigravity, and new 3.5 Flash.
Also, the conversation AI demo was pretty nice:
Really excited for tomorrow's Google IO: each year it's getting better with more and more advanced and futuristic technology like AI, Robotics, Cloud, and Flutter, of course.
Thoughts on Firebase SQL Connect:
- Really nice that it supports caching out of the box (but keep in mind it's not a full offline mode like in Firestore, cache in memory for web, others persistent)
- Dart Cloud Functions admin SDK doesn't support Firebase SQL Connect yet
@k081e@powersync_ I was mostly comparing SQL Data Connect offline/caching capabilities and pricing with Supabase + PowerSync approach.
Trying to figure out what would be the best approach for the future projects.
- You still pay per operation (like in Firestore), but it's better than per document, but still not as good as Supabase
- Generating queries and mutations is nice (including clients)
@garrytan I would rather pay a bit more for @DropboxSign to avoid hassle with maintenance. Oh, and Docuseal Cloud version costs more per seat - which is interesting...
We had multiple cases when we build Tablet app and then asked if that possible to build and run the same/similar app on the web? We say ok 1-2 weeks people get mind blown.
Web is one of the greatest advantages of Flutter.
As a Flutter lover, Flutter Web _is_ bad.
It's cool that it is possible. But I'm not sure I'd use it legitimately for a professional project.
Flutter is great for lots of stuff. Just not web.
