  • beacon_broadcast

    A Flutter plugin for turning your device into a beacon.

  • Awesome! At a glance it seems beacon_broadcast together with for example flutter_blue would enable nearby device discovery (in the foreground) without any native code. Will explore this path instead of using native code on iOS and Android.

  • airdash

    File sharing flutter webrtc app enabling sending files to any device from anywhere

  • Thanks. Yeah, likely going to be a lot of edge cases when doing cross platform bluetooth. For now I've been able to discover and send some small data packets to nearby devices on iOS/macOS (as can be seen in this playground). Fortunately my use case is only transmitting device name and id. I'm thinking of using this as a way to pair nearby devices more easily in Airdash.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
