New comment by mattsolle in "50% of U.S. vinyl buyers don't own a record player"

I was in this demographic for a log time. I wanted to support small artists in ways past just going to their shows. This seemed like a nice way to do that (not a big shirt guy for bands). It also helps that you are not only getting music but a large(ish) art piece as well with the vinyl covers. It also feels good to physically have and own something. I recently bought a Portable CD player as well. I think a lot of the Gen Z folks I talk to are starting to (if just wishfully) drift back towards physicality in some ways.

I think a lot of these comments are not necessarily valid or have been addressed already and we've lost the actual productive feedback in the mess.

- Integration testing - This exists and is very commonly used: https://docs.flutter.dev/cookbook/testing/integration/introd...

- Location - This 100% should be a core offering, its crazy that its not for mobile application.

- iOS dark mode - Flutter supports Dark Mode - https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/ThemeMode.html

- iOS keyboard dismiss decoration - Not sure on this.

- iOS keyboard scroll-to-dismiss mode - This is trivial to setup, just listen on scroll and hide keyboard. You could even create a generic handler that can be reused everywhere for this.

- iOS NavigationLink widget - Not familiar with this construct but easy to build yourself.

- iOS checkbox widget - Totally agree but also easy to build directly.

- Android camera that doesn't randomly crash (unfixed for 3 years) - We've got a couple application that use camera and never had this issue.

- Android date-time picker - This has been in for a long time: https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/showDatePicker.html

- Usable documentation for Navigator 2.0 - I think the updated docs on navigation have addressed this issue largely.

- Debugger visibility into Dart async tasks - You can 100% debug async tasks.

- Stop HTTP requests on timeout - This exists in Flutter https://stackoverflow.com/a/51489701

- Testing on physical devices for apps that use flavors - We do this regularly across 5 different flavors on both iOS and Android.

- UI inspection tools that don't randomly stop working - Never had this happen.

I worked with React Native for 3 years before jumping over to Flutter and this was the biggest reason why I made the switch. Its exponentially better on Flutter. The only time builds break for the team are when we made a code change that broke it. Its consistent and non-flaky (looking at you RN). Not that you won't run into the occasional issue but with React Native easily 20% of my time developing was "this just stopped working and there's no reason why". React Native was configuration hell. With Flutter, I haven't struggled with that at all past the initial setup.

I thought I would hate Dart since it seems like such a bland language but after working in it for a year and a half its easily one of my favorites. Its straightforward and tailored directly for Flutter's use-cases. It feels like it doesn't come with a lot of the baggage you get with other, longer-lived languages. It is also incredibly readable without hiding how it works behind decades of syntactic sugar. All that to say, I definitely see how it can be disliked and I also disliked it when I started working with it but it definitely grew on me.

mattsolle — Fri, 18 Jun 2021 00:35:07 +0000

We all make mistakes but rarely at this scale. I hope whoever accidentally sent out the integration email to everyone doesn't get in trouble. I would hate for my dumb mistakes to be put on blast by hundreds of thousands or millions of people.
