Android just got its Liquid Glass package github.com/Kyant0/Android…
New Liquid Glass package dropped: oc_liquid_glass pub.dev/packages/oc_li…
All Apple had to do was just make the Tabview have a progressive blur effect like in the iOS 18 Music app, its simple minimal, and makes the app feel edge to edge while not being visually disturbing, instead they went with the dancing blobs.
I just tried Flutter in Zed and it's actually not that bad, there isn't full support for it yet but damn Zed is lightweight and snappy, way less resources in comparison to Vscode are used, there's also progress on full Flutter support: github.com/zed-extensions…
someone please tell me there's a way to extend the timeout duration on @dart_globe, it's a Gemini API call that takes a long time to complete.
the amount of iOS users cheering on unreadable text on my timeline is astonishing
LIQUID GLASS IS BACK
this auto generated magic, or notifyListeners() and some boilerplate that you have full control of and own?
This took me by surprise. The code generated by the @Observable macro in Xcode 26 beta 3 is noticeably different from what Xcode 16 produced.
New Flutter Package: awesome_shake_widget, a customizable Flutter widget that adds shake animations with haptic and vibration feedback. Perfect for invalid forms, error indicators, or drawing attention to UI components. pub.dev/packages/aweso…
Flutter also has this, just wrap a widget with Glassify from the liquid_glass_renderer package pub.dev/packages/liqui…
Another daily reminder that you can draw glassy Text since the #SwiftUI glassEffect modifier accepts arbitrary Shapes - just convert Fonts into Shapes if you are willing to go deep into CoreText and tinker with CTFontCreatePathForGlyph.
is it a better overall to use firebase_ai instead of my own custom dart backend?
Hot take: I'm starting to like Material 3 Expressive more that iOS 26's design, things feel more calm, I'm getting sick of everything needing to bounce and animate and glow every time I tap something on iOS 26 plus the aggressive transparent elements hurt. youtube.com/watch?v=hpL2kw…
if you need to open files in your Flutter app like PDFs and don't want to create a custom UI, you can open it with the native file viewing app by using the recently released native_file_preview package, it even supports iOS 26's Quick Look framework. pub.dev/packages/nativ…
Funny how I remember my 2015 MacBook Pro intel i5 giving me a better experience than my 2021 M1 Pro MacBook.
