I wanna do animations for Flutter apps (beyond flutter widgets).

Fairly small but nice animations for splash screens, logos, user-avatars, buttons and more (not a movies or space invaders)

I have started with Rive and it's perfect, easy to learn, and to integrate into the app.

Is this the way?

My AI Coding Workflow:

Short:

- Agent mode (based on context files), 3 AI
- Context-files imperative style (md)
- Roadmap (md)
- All md-files, code and setup available for project Gem in Gemini
- Flutter, Firebase, GCP, VS Code

Working like a charm! But am I missing anything that I should do?

Why are there two build.gradle files in different locations with similar but different content in Flutter? 🤯 It would make more sense to use consistent names for configuration files! 😐

I have used Hive and struggled with Shared_prefereces in my Flutter app. Despite some people thinking differently about this, but I find Hive much easier to setup, understand and the best of all, no null-errors, and it works seamless across different platforms. 😀
#hive #sharedprefereces #flutter

What's your favorite AI-assistant in VS Code for Flutter development?

I mostly use Copilot or Gemini for coding assistance, refactoring, Json formatting, and finding/correcting errors and more.

I recently discovered the benefits of GitHub Action Ci. It's great, but usually I over do it, and things get stuck,;

Any ideas how to store and present "build_count" and "build_date_time" in my flutter app, while building the app at push, with Github Action Ci? As GitHub uses VM's it's a challenge with shell script files, at least for me.

I need to store a few single values locally on the device. I've been looking at " shared preferences" and "Hive". What's your advice ?

As a wannabe Flutter developer, I'm finding Xcode quite challenging to grasp when setting up the iOS simulator. Could anyone recommend a good Xcode tutorial that's geared towards those of us with a Flutter background? I'd really appreciate any guidance, thank you.

#flutter #ios #xcode

I love the creative process of programming, but I find the technical setup quite frustrating. Configuring IDEs and wrestling with build.gradle files is a real challenge for me.
#flutter #vscode

I'm really struggling to learn "provider". I end up spending hours trying things out and fixing errors. I wish I would dedicate the time to properly understand it instead.

Wow, that was easy 🙏

BASIC programming language co-inventor Thomas E. Kurtz has passed away on November 12th at the age of 96. I am so grateful for his contribution to software engineering, without which I would not be where I am today.

RIP Thomas E. Kurtz
