In Flame v2 you'll be able to have Flutter widgets as parts of the Flame component tree, with working priority (z-index) and everything! 😃

My PR to Dart was number 1337 closed (PRs are closed when done since they go through another system). Do I win anything? Probably not. But if you want to win something, come to @flutterfriends.dev, we have so much swag, for example Flutter E-ink badges for everybody, 50 dashes and t-shirts etc 😁

Wow, I love Dart's native assets feature! 💙 I just finished completely rewriting Forge2D from being a Dart port of Box2D to embedding Box2D v3 directly instead (wasm for web). It's about 20x more efficient now and we can easily stay up to date with new Box2D updates. 🔥

Did a little fun project that simulates the contributions to a git repository of your choice, try it out! It uses Flutter, Flame and Supabase.

Always feels good to get recognition for maintenance work in the Flutter/Dart ecosystem! 😊

PR comment saying: "(Lukas, you are maintaining everything, it's amazing. Half of the Flutter ecosystem depends on you, lots of kudos.)"

Yesterday I joined @supabase.com as an SDK Engineer (Flutter)! This is a dream job for me, since most of you know, I'm a very active open source proponent and developer, and getting the chance to work on an OSS product that I use a lot and that has a great community around it will be 🔥

A PR was just merged that unpins all (except one minor) Flutter dependencies! 😍 No more dependency hells when upgrading minor/patch versions of collection, meta, vector_math, intl, path etc in your apps and packages. 🥳

Really looking forward to the Dart primary constructors that are planned to be released during 2026!

class Point {
int x;
int y;
Point(this.x, this.y);
}

With the primary constructor feature, this class can defined with this much shorter syntax:

class Point(int x, int y);

Starting from Dart v3.11 the workspace definition will support globs! Thanks to Sigurdm for implementing it, it will make our root pubspec files so much cleaner and more reliable. 💙

I love the Flipper Zero so much! 😍 Like today I needed to flash my router and didn't have a USB-UART converter, and of course Flipper Zero covered that use-case, just like it covers a million other weird use-cases I throw at it. It really is the best hackers Swiss army knife!

The new Preview annotation in Flutter will be cool I think! 😍

Remember friends; make sure that you and everyone you like adds this to analysis_options.yaml after updating to Dart 3.8.0 so that we make it the de-facto standard, even though it is not default. 😄 I have not heard a single good argument for not preserving the trailing commas.

If this works well, it is revolutionary for Flutter (and iOS) development! Especially for us Linux folks. 😍

Have you seen the new Dart static access shorthand feature? It's now in the main branch. 😍 Thanks to @remirousselet.bsky.social for showing it to me.

I finally had time to complete the last puzzle that I had left on #AdventOfCode 2024, great job all the folks that did their best to finish them all on the Dart leaderboard! 😍 Congrats to @hari07.bsky.social that won this year! 🥳 Top 10 on the Dart leaderboard:

Sometimes you just find these real hidden Dart extensions gems! ✨ Today I found this StreamExtension for parallelism in Melos, which makes it super easy to run a stream in parallel (can easily be used together with isolates too): `stream.parallel((input) => // Your computation);`

I very rarely take pictures or videos, but I just found this gem on an old harddrive from when I was hitchhiking through Canada a few years ago and decided to try out another mode of transportation. 😅 I have never felt so free in my whole life.

Since transitive dependencies are counted, most of the downloads come from these three packages, but I think dart_mappable will grow a loooot in the near future. Seems like it is becoming the default in many project stacks. 😃

Apparently I'm now top 11 for open source contributions on GitHub in Sweden for this year! It's a real honor being just two positions away from Daniel Stenberg (curl), which undoubtedly is one of the biggest open source profiles in Sweden. 😊 Let's aim for top 10 in 2025!

From Dart v3.7.0, local variables and parameters named _ are non-binding so you can declare them as many times as you want in the same scope without collisions! 😍

$Foo(_, this._, super._, void _()) {} main() { var _ = 1; int _ = 2; list.where((_) => true); }$

81% of the community said that Flock is not something that they want. The poll got 394 votes (not counting "See results"), the result was 320 vs. 74. You'd think that if someone tries to drive a community effort like this, they'd actually establish it with the community first.

I just got the news that I won $80,000 in the LG webOS Hackathon! I built a game where you are a wizard controlling a wand with the TV remote (with gyroscopic sensors) to cast spells and defeat your enemies. So now I'm going to Seoul, South Korea and presenting the game at the end of the month! 😍
