  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • Flutter

    Flutter makes it easy and fast to build beautiful apps for mobile and beyond

  • https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/44572 is an example - issue has been open for >3 years, doesn't appear it'll be fixed any time soon, has nobody assigned ... and means for my project that I can either force webkit on mobile and massively bloat the loading time/download size OR spend non-trivial time building some other solution for an otherwise working feature.

  • flutter_cached_network_image

    Download, cache and show images in a flutter app

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • flutter-wonderous-app

    A showcase app for the Flutter SDK. Wonderous will educate and entertain as you uncover information about some of the most famous structures in the world.

  • I’d recommend going all in on Flutter. Instead of going too deep into the weeds on why, I’d suggest reading through this page about the Flutter 3.3 Wonderous showcase app. Make sure to download it from the App/Play Store to get a feel for it, as I think the hands-on experience of Flutter’s capabilities are more convincing than me typing at you. Then, implement your solution using an architecture similar to what they did by reviewing the code in the Wonderous GitHub repo. It sounds like your project is going so some upfront investment of time wouldn’t hurt too much.
