Fuchsia’s user interface and apps are written with Flutter, a software development kit allowing cross-platform development abilities for Fuchsia, Android and iOS.

Flutter produces apps based on Dart, offering apps with high performance that run at 120 frames per second. Flutter also offers a Vulkan-based graphics rendering engine called Escher […]

Fuchsia is based on a new microkernel called Zircon. Zircon is derived from Little Kernel, a small operating system intended for embedded systems.

With the help of AI, Alibaba’s Xianyu tech team is advancing an intelligent tool that renders visual UI design as Flutter code with 100 percent accuracyAs we explored in our recent article on AI-based algorithm development, automation is quickly changing from something to that developers can work on into something that can do developers’ work. While the extent of this shift remains to be seen in the years to come, one major focus today is how AI can tackle the repetitive and tedious aspects of application development so human developers can focus their efforts elsewhere.Now, developers at Alibaba’s Xianyu(闲鱼) second-hand trading platform have launched the UI2CODE project to apply deep learning technology in converting visual user interface images to client-side code.

Why building graphical user interfaces is hard.Why is it so hard to write and maintain UI code? One of the reasons is poor API design. Specifically poor balance of control vs effort over a set of use cases. Effort is the time it takes to implement a use case using an API. Control is how fine-grained the commands that we send to an API can be.This issue of balance is not GUI-specific, it’s a generic problem in API design. This post is my attempt to understand the dynamics between control and effort using examples from #frontend development.The lost art of geometryHere’s a puzzle. Let’s say we have two rectangles. One is taller and wider than the other. We want to place and vertically center the smaller rectangle inside the larger one.The height of the larger rectangle is h1. The height of the (...)

How to develop a Bridge in Flutter between Dart and Native CodeFlutter allows us to call platform-specific APIs available in Java or Kotlin code on #android and in Objective C or Swift code on iOS.Flutter’s platform-specific API works with message passing.From Flutter app we have to send messages to a host on iOS or Android parts of the app over a platform channel. The host listens on the platform channel and receives the message. It then uses any platform-specific APIs using the native #programming language and sends back a response to the Flutter portion of app.Architecture overviewMessages are passed between the Flutter Code(UI) and host (platform) using platform channels. Messages and responses are passed asynchronously and the user interface remains responsive.On Dart side using (...)

Flutter Clutter is hard to read! Gonna clean it up!You know what I don’t like about Flutter? Very little. However, I did, have to get use to reading the long vertical lists of parameters. Most times, they weren’t just parameters, they’re a list of anonymous functions being passed as parameters which made it that much harder to read. And Man! At times, there is a lot of clutter! A lot of Flutter Clutter!Of course, one can adapt. It does has its merits, but I decided to clean it up a bit. Below is a ‘before and after’ picture.

While in beta for pretty much the entire 2018 and now at version 1.0, the Flutter community and product have grown tremendously, with Flutter now being in the top 20 repos on Github.

I’ve been involved in the tech industry for the best part of 5 years now, in varying roles across the board ranging from freelance Digital Copywriter, Business Relationship Manager/Account Exec and most recently as Marketing Lead at Flamelink.I’ve learnt in this time, that tech projects take time. More often than not, more time than was originally anticipated.I’m not going to unpack the reasons for my above statement any further - that’s something I’m not willing to stick my neck out for - Not even for the GDP of a small island nation somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. ;-)The point is that these projects take time. And time is money. So it stands to reason, the longer it takes to build an app, or website, the more money it costs, whether the client foots the bill or it comes down to the (...)

Why I think #google should have launched Flutter, a couple years ago.There has been much activity in “Building apps for multiple platforms, using a single code base” camp, in recent years. #facebook is getting all the love from the developer community and a large number of people are using its open source frameworks, such as, React and React Native.Google, of course, wanted to have a piece of that action and love. Hence, we’ve witnessed the birth of this new framework, Flutter. Why would I say that? It’s because Google could have introduced such a framework, long back, even before the advent of React Native. That should have always been the way developers built apps, instead to writing one single app, two times, for two different platforms, when the ROI is negligible.Let’s face it, there is (...)
