socket VS Flutter

we're working toward this with Socket runtime (https://github.com/socketsupply/socket).

Our ultimate goal is to provide a web browser-compatible environment (for quickly building UIs) with a state of the art P2P protocol — A DTN design that is fault and partition tolerant, with comprehensive and complete NAT traversal, without any server or cloud infrastructure requirements from the user — lowering the technical and monetary barriers for distributing and parallelizing work beyond the cloud.

if you're looking for an easier way to build p2p applications, you might be interested in the Socket runtime (https://github.com/socketsupply/socket)

How easy would it be to make a Socket-based GUI program, stick it on a thumb drive and run it on a friend's PC?

The Distribution Guide (https://socketsupply.co/guides/#distribution-guide) has instructions for code signing on Apple platforms, but I'm curious about the "weekend project" angle. Like, does `ssc` produce exe, apk? Could I use it to make a self-contained app that can launch without installation on Linux?

There is a brand new one called Socket, it’s more targeted at web developers - no rust or anything required. Backend is also completely optional. It supports all mobile and desktop — it will ship a stable release next month: https://github.com/socketsupply/socket

Flutter : Obviously 😂

With the app market projected to reach over $500 billion by 2025, integrating AI isn't just advantageous—it's essential for staying competitive. Whether you're building a mobile app for education, a web platform for e-commerce, or an enterprise tool for data analysis, AI can accelerate development cycles, reduce costs, and enhance functionality. However, effectiveness depends on context: the app's purpose, your team's expertise, and scalability requirements. As we navigate this topic, remember that the "best" tool often involves combining several for optimal results.

There are more than 10 built-in ways to find the widgets. On this article Only the most reliable and used will be shown, but, if you want to see all of them, check them here.

To add to this mess, Flutter officially discontinued flutter_markdown due to limited resources. Here’s the issue: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/162960

Cross-platform development means writing code once and running it on multiple platforms like iOS and Android. This reduces time, cost, and effort compared to developing separate apps for each platform. Developers use frameworks to simplify this process, and two of the most popular are Flutter and React Native.

Install Flutter SDK from flutter.dev.

However, with the introduction of ShellRoute, observing the navigation flow in your app and having routes that are "aware" of navigation changes has become more difficult. As highlighted in this issue, when you add a ShellRoute, the app loses reactivity to route changes: the NavigationObserver is no longer triggered.
