I think this might be the coolest single interaction I've ever built in #FlutterDev.

Spring-based heroes with gestures make so much sense! It's all shaping up nicely, but I still need to polish some things before a release. Let me know if you have any use-cases you want covered 👀

I'm a #Dart #Flutter Google Developer Expert (one of 10 in the US). I'm looking to add more work to my schedule, either part-time or full-time, for architecting, design review, coding, cross-training. Also available in one-hour blocks for concentrated work (ask about "office hours").

For years, I relied on my own bash/zsh aliases for Flutter commands.

Today I learned (TIL) that there's an Oh My Zsh plugin that provides built-in Flutter aliases. I'm going to switch to this!

If you're a Flutter developer, you need to get on this package. It's a continuation of charts_flutter and we've been polishing like crazy. We've chipped away at many type safety issues that were a problem in Dart 2 and we have added a tonne of tests. Way more stable now.
We just published nimble_charts (charts_flutter fork) beta 5. This version tightens up a type safety issue in the core library that caused bugs in the pie chart samples. You can see the new samples in the live demo.
