    Markers clustering PR is ready for almost 2 years and not merged as it waits review, also open issue for it

  • plugins

    Discontinued Plugins for Flutter maintained by the Flutter team

    Video player has lots of memory issues. No caching. If you want to allocate more than 3 players, app crashes in some phones. So a stable video feed is out of question.. look at this thread(this is a continuation of other similar ones which were all closed for no apparent reasons) video caching issue

  • 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.

  • tangram-es

    2D and 3D map renderer using OpenGL ES

    Another huge problem is the platform view. It's slow and laggy. I've been trying to integrate Tangram ES and display it through Texture widget (with gestures connected via FFI), and it works much better (almost perfect), but still too difficult to maintain it properly... Hopefully Google Maps can be implemented in a similar way
