We're forking Flutter. This is why

1. Flutter

   1 1,287 176,807 10.0 Dart

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

   

   > How large is the Flutter team, today? Google doesn't publish this information, but my guess is that the team is about 50 people strong.

   I doubt google have even 50 flutter devs in their team. You can easily estimate by checking github pulse:

   https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pulse/monthly

   https://github.com/flutter/engine/pulse/monthly

   Also take into account inflated commits by CI bots: engine-flutter-autoroll, skia-flutter-autoroll, auto-submit[bot], fluttergithubbot, flutter-pub-roller-bot

2. Shorebird

   shorebird.dev featured

   Shorebird - Patch in minutes not days. Shorebird powers rapid development with CodePush and optimized CI pipelines designed specifically for Flutter.

   

3. engine

   2 54 7,532 10.0 C++

   Discontinued The Flutter engine (by flutter)

4. Google Web Toolkit

   3 20 1,622 8.2 Java

   GWT Open Source Project

   

   No, it handed it to a foundation after signaling it would for well over a year:

   "In 2011 with the introduction of the Dart programming language, Google stated that GWT would continue to be supported for the foreseeable future while also hinting at a possible rapprochement between the two Google approaches to structured web programming. However, they also mentioned that several of the engineers previously working on GWT are now working on Dart.[6]"

   It funded/helped the foundation for some number of years after that.

   It still is going, afaik, with gwt 2.11 being released in january, 2024.

5. sdk

   4 338 11,172 10.0 Dart

   The Dart SDK, including the VM, JS and Wasm compilers, analysis, core libraries, and more.

   As for flutterfoundation.dev, it appears to be just Matt? Who used to be employed at Google and reported to me on the Flutter team but is no longer.

7. LibChecker

   6 7 6,898 9.3 Kotlin

   An app to view libraries used in apps in your device.

   

   >Flutter two finger scroll "bug" is gone.

   Why is "bug" in scare quotes here? It was most definitely a bug.

   >I wouldn't say its unlikely they carried a patch for it, I just wrote a framework patch that I apply at build time in CI and locally.

   The actual fix was pretty involved. I doubt a large company like Bytedance would want to carry around extra patches at the gesture level that make the dev cycle more difficult. Having one person carry a patch on their local machine is a different story.

   Anyway, the Bytedance blogpost says only 200 devs are using Flutter which would make no sense if it was used in Douyin, and LibChecker[0] returns no results for libflutter.so.

8. CPython

   7 1,608 72,984 10.0 Python

   The Python programming language

   

   Citation? They're all in the same repo, so any stats that OP pulls will cover the whole standard library:

10. homebrew-core

    8 148 15,333 10.0 Ruby

    🍻 Default formulae for the missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    

    I'm in the camp of "if I can't build it, then it's not open source" so https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/d314f3ebba9e7... is a good start, but there is no .../f/flutter.rb although there is https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=flutt... but I haven't been soaking in the AUR ecosystem long enough to be able to port it to Homebrew

    All those words to say that if there was a .github/workflow/release.yml showing the steps required to cook a release artifact that would be the best(?) documentation since it is kind of like a Dockerfile in that it's computer executable but mostly human readable

11. skip

    9 32 3,065 9.1 Swift

    Skip enables the creation of native SwiftUI apps for iOS and Android

    

    > You need to keep up with the native UI across all the platforms. (Or, of course, you don't, in which case there are gaps, bugs, inconsistency, jank, etc.)

    And for the latter, the result is something that mostly does what web-based solutions do (with their known downsides), only with virtually no ecosystem in comparison.

    I do think there are opportunities for great cross-platform native development solutions (like https://skip.tools/) which offer an alternative to React Native.
