    I got an email that @yearsprogress has been suspended from Twitter API, and I have to re-sign-up. At least I know where I'm at. (There was no communication till now.) My bot is eligible for the free tier, I think, but the sign up form doesn't work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sorry folks.

    I guess I was too of an optimist to believe it would happen, but Putⅰn launched a full scale attack on a neighboring country today. I grew up in a totalitarian country in the Soviet bloc. Let me tell you how *you* can help. Thread ↓

    I left Google on Wednesday. Don't worry, nothing bad is happening. Here's a video:

    I avoided saying anything about GetX while I was employed at Google because I didn't want my personal opinion confused with official stance. Now that I've quit: I don't like GetX. * It hides complexity. * Magic everywhere. * Not thought thru. Scott explains it more eloquently.

    I've tried really hard to stay away from the whole subject of GetX for a lot of reasons, but one came up recently that I feel I have to mention. I'll try to say it as objectively as possible.

    It might not look like it but I worked on this project for over 8 years. It launched today. It feels fantastic & terrifying at the same time.

    I've been working on a book about Flutter & Dart performance. I'm at the very beginning, with only a few chapters drafted but I decided to write the book in the open. Here it is:

    Hey there, I'm new to Flutter and I hear that it's bad for building websites. This true? I thought Flutter was a multiplatform framework!


Hi friend! First of all, welcome to the Flutter community! You're bringing up a great question. Flutter started as a framework for building iOS and Android apps. In the past few years, new platforms (Win, Linux, Mac, Web) have been unlocked, and quite a few people have had real success with them. But it's true that for traditional document-like websites, Flutter might not be your best choice.


King, welcome to the community! I totally agree with my man here. I'll just add that, as with many other frameworks, it's always _possible_ to build amazing stuff. If you know what you're doing, you can make an amazing content-heavy website with Flutter. But the folks behind Flutter are first to admit that the framework needs work here. As of now, it's very easy to make a website in Flutter that performs poorly on mobile, with long loading times and janky sc

    Flutter 2.8 is here, with better performance, smoother Firebase integration, Ads support, etc. This is my 10 minute summary of what's new. (Plus 2 minutes to explain my black eye.) My first Flutter-related video since I left Google!

    I'm trying to push myself to come up with nicer designs for the default Flutter starter app ("Counter"), using code only. Nothing official, of course. Opinions?

    If you know a person who expressed interest in giving Flutter a go but hasn't done so yet, my #GoogleIO workshop is just 👌 for them. Here: events.google.com/io/session/78f… (Ignore "Session is full", the number of people who can watch is ∞.)
