Flutter and the planets

Planets-Flutter, a series of articles by Sergi & Replace in which he adapts a design to create a functional version of it using Flutter

I have to admit that although Oscar, one of hackers¹ at Mobbeel, had been talking about Flutter for a long time, I didn’t pay much attention to him. Things have changed so much that I have even subscribed² to one of the bulletins he recommended to me: Flutter Weekly.

And not only have I subscribed, I’m reading it. I even click on the innumerable links that each number contains³. For example, the third link of number 13 is a video in which they interview Eric Seidel, who is now director of the project. If you know what Flutter is little of what is said there will be interesting, but I found a hidden gem almost at the end of it, a mention without a link to a Spanish project. It is the Planets-Flutter series, from Sergi & amp; Replace, in which they use Flutter to create an interface like this:

In it Sergi takes us by the hand, showing us how to adapt a design and create a functional version of it using Flutter. Each article of the series covers one of the aspects of the adaptation: the navigation bar, the selection of colors, the creation of cells, and so on. A true delight, a unique opportunity to learn to use Flutter and create attractive designs, out of the ordinary.

Although for years I repudiated the existing multiplatform solutions, someone made me appreciate some of the benefits of them. I think I accepted Flutter with open arms thanks to that intermediate step. Well, and also because it is the first of these solutions that seems really native⁴.

If this is what can be achieved with Flutter in its beta version, I am looking forward to seeing what they achieve when it is stable.
