Production experience, unfiltered opinions, and deep dives into Flutter architecture.
A 2026 comparison of Flutter and React Native after both stacks finished major architectural rewrites. Impeller, Fabric, JSI, TurboModules, and which one to pick for what.
Postmortem of shipping a GenAI feature in a production Flutter app. Latency UX, streaming text, on-device vs cloud, what flopped, what stuck, and what the stores allow.
How to wire an LLM into a Flutter team's code review pipeline so it catches Dart-specific issues. Real prompts, a CI flowchart, and what does and does not work.
A real architecture for calling an LLM API from a Flutter app. Streaming, error handling, loading states, and cost-aware design. With a sequence diagram of the full request lifecycle.
Isolates, WorkManager on Android, BGTaskScheduler on iOS, and the places where Flutter's abstraction breaks down. Native Kotlin and Swift equivalents included.
A real production crash that only reproduced in release iOS builds. The misleading clues, the actual root cause, and how I would have found it sooner.
For engineering managers and tech leads weighing a rewrite. The hidden costs, the team realities, and a direct verdict for three team sizes.
GestureDetector, the gesture arena, and the things UIGestureRecognizer does without thinking. A deep dive with Swift and Dart side by side.
An honest account of what made GetX appealing, where it broke at scale, and the specific bug that made me switch a production app to Riverpod.
Feature-first or layer-first? Where does dependency injection go? A real folder structure that survives ten engineers and three years of churn.
A real binary-size investigation. Asset bloat, native libraries, build flags, and what actually moved the needle on a Flutter app that ballooned past 200MB.
Predictive back, PopScope, GoRouter, and the bottom sheet that swallows your gesture. The Android back gesture story for Flutter, with Kotlin equivalents.
A complete walk through a production platform channel in Swift, including threading, error propagation, and passing complex objects. The parts the docs gloss over.
Three production codebases, three state management choices. Where each one earned its keep, where each one cost me a weekend, and a recommendation matrix.
A line-by-line breakdown of where Flutter on iOS diverges from UIKit feel: scroll physics, text selection, keyboard, and font rendering. With code to close the gap.
After eighteen months of shipping the same product surface in Swift, Kotlin, and Flutter, here is what actually held up in production and what did not.
