3. It shouldn’t. Authors can skip AI assets if they want, just like they can skip other optional package assets.

Loïc Sharma @loic-sharma.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

2. I expect discoverability on pub.dev will be fine. Things like the package name, score, or popularity have the highest impact on rankings. Other metadata is mostly used for matching.

Loïc Sharma @loic-sharma.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

1. Could you expand on the bloat concern? The proposal is for text files. I’d expect minimal incremental impact. Pub has very strict size limits too, much stricter than other ecosystems.

Loïc Sharma @loic-sharma.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

The proposal would add another tool the toolbox that folks can consider using if they think it’s right for them. You can ignore it entirely if you want, just like you can ignore Dart analyzer plugins.

100

Loïc Sharma @loic-sharma.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

However, that’s not how I see it. Software is hard. Too hard. There’s infinite ways to make things easier. Dart’s and Flutter’s job should be to provide solid foundations that unlock the community’s creativity. [4/n]

100

Loïc Sharma @loic-sharma.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

For example, we might add lints for common mistakes when authoring render objects. You could argue this accommodates broken Flutter APIs. You could also argue that this increases the burden for package authors, since they now should consider creating analyzer plugins for their packages. [3/n]

210

Loïc Sharma @loic-sharma.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

I disagree with the premise. Here’s a counter example: We recently added Dart analyzer plugins, which let you add lints and fixes for your package. We’ll use these to help devs use the Flutter SDK better. [2/n]

Loïc Sharma @loic-sharma.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

(To clarify, these are my personal thoughts from the sidelines. I’m just a random engineer that‘s not even on the team driving this proposal!) [1/n]

110

Loïc Sharma @loic-sharma.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

I think that‘s a perfectly reasonable take, but I also think it’s also perfectly reasonable to write AI-specific docs. I think it’s best if Pub gives author the freedom to choose what’s best for their package.

200

Loïc Sharma @loic-sharma.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

I disagree. There’s an implicit assumption here that one doc can meet all needs. However, good docs are separated based on needs: tutorials to accomplish tasks, explanations to teach concepts, references, etc. This lets you write AI specific docs, if that’s what you feel is best for your package.

100

Loïc Sharma @loic-sharma.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Not increasing maintainers’ burden resonates with me. However, shouldn’t we also provide the necessary plumbing for package maintainers that *do* want to build new AI experiences?

Flutter has such incredible momentum right now. 🎯 Just to name a few things that are happening: 1️⃣ Toyota is building a fully fledged 3D game engine in Dart. 2️⃣ Xiaomi is rewriting all its core system apps in Flutter. 3️⃣ India's largest bank, SBI YONO, is moving its app to Flutter.

Ghostly is much more powerful than GitHub notifications UI. You can search to slice and dice your notifications to bulk mark them as read. Once you need to subscribe to a large enough GitHub repository, GitHub notification UI just falls apart.

1. Currently the research is private, but we should be able to share findings later when we have them. 2. TBD - this depends on the engineering design which we haven’t finalized yet. Currently decorators are handwritten, which I think yields better docs at the cost of boilerplate.

Loïc Sharma @loic-sharma.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

That would return a “Center” widget. Decorators wrap a widget with another widget - it’s the decorator pattern! :)

050

Loïc Sharma @loic-sharma.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

We’re not aiming for less code - we’re aiming for code that is easier to read and write. Flutter’s constructor model can result in heavily nested code. Example: github.com/flutter/flut... Decorators let us “flatten” a widget tree. We’re studying the usability impact of that!
