Continuous integration (CI) is the practice of merging all developers’ working copies to shared mainline several times a day. One of the most important aspects of CI is keeping the mainline healthy. That’s why it’s crucial to have proper tests, both unit and UI, that can run against any PR…

Today I would like to share with you our experience with running our Flutter application in production for about 6 months. We will talk about how to organize your code, which libraries to use, and other tips and tricks we’ve learned so far. This is actually a text version of…

During one of our recent discussions about Flutter and Flutter for Web (and I do like talking about Flutter a lot), I was asked a question, whether the final goal of our Application Development department is to fire all the front-end developers and replace them with Flutter developers. …

For one of our side projects (highly experimental and written in Flutter for Web, by the way) I needed to implement something like this:

As I wrote in a previous article, we’re experimenting with Flutter while developing our side project for step challenges with colleagues. This side project should also be considered as a playground, where we can check if we can use Flutter in more serious projects. …
