Anyone using google flutter for app development?

[peterchan75]

Hi All,
I would like to know more about this platform.
1. How popular is this?
2. How is the learning curve? Steep?
3. Any platform better than this one?

Thank in advance.

Thanks davidktw,
I will try Flutter and make a simple app for desktop instead of learning Linux with WSL. Now, all I have is Win32::GUI and it looks kind of dated. Nothing against React Native since I have already started reading Flutter.

Well you can use anything as long as you like.
Just take note Flutter uses Dart, not Javascript/Typescript. No harm learning new stuff as long as you are keen. Besides you will never knows until you try.

You will like it too. It has something you like very much e.g. =>, ?? etc.

Well gone are the days where I am excited over sugar syntax. As an architect now, it is more for me about trying arcane ways of integration.

May you be the chosen one that transcend platforms. Out with the specific programming software for a platform and a transcendent platform that will accept any software.

Just give you an example.
Personal research though but it may intrigue you.
I am trying to architect a proper use of juicefs with aws to backup my laptop data in a reliable, cost effective and sustainable way.
What language to use is just a matter of which ecosystem, libraries and tools make it easy to
integrate.

I cheat.

JuiceFS has SDKs and client tools available in multiple programming languages such as Python, Java, Golang, and Node.js, among others. The choice of language to use depends on your familiarity and comfort with the programming language, as well as the specific requirements and constraints of your backup system. Ultimately, the key is to select a language that allows for easy integration with AWS and JuiceFS APIs and provides efficient and reliable backup functionality.

Don’t need any programming languages. Just simple FUSE will do. This is what integration is. I am using CCC backup utility, it just need a folder or device to integrate. I have previously did a POC and I found I can easily saturate my outgoing Internet bandwidth.
Now all i need to do is to have the necessary script to mount before backup and unmount after backup and also configure the S3 properly to leverage on lifecycle to shift the data to glacier after backup.

I don’t cheat.

100% your original idea. Putting into Amazon glacier still cost. Statutory requirement for record keeping is 5 years. Why bother with glacier?

This is personal laptop, not work lah.

If statutory requirement is 5 years, why not glacier? In fact requirements can go beyond 5 years. I have come across in tender is >10 years.
For 100TB/mth, it will cost approximately USD200-300 monthly for S3 Deep Glacier. Cheap from a commercial standpoint when it offers 99.999999999% durability.

Ah... you have hopped over to the dark side... low code.

This is low code? Far from it.
This is merely integration work which is like glue between components. Components at this level is much much larger than components in your low-code platform.
