The most excellent @dt_emmy has done it again, this time with new drag 'n' drop support into dartantic_chat, including drop target previews as you go! The dartantic_chat provides a full-featured agentic chat widget with support for all dartantic providers: pub.dev/packages/dar...

Puppeteer-style agentic control of your Flutter apps: github.com/leancodepl/m... This is huge! This provides a tight loop between the app and the agent to test features, test look and feel and fix it all while you're watching reruns of Green Acres (if you know, you know).

If only agents are reading ads in the future, what happens when ads become prompt injection attacks?

Today, a most excellent guest blog post by Emmanuel Tuksa on enabling image paste to the Flutter AI Toolkit (PR pending) and to the new dartantic_chat package, a fork of the AI Toolkit's chat widget simplified for dartantic. Enjoy! sellsbrothers.com/guest-post-e...

Do you have a AI-related project to share? I've built a little community for folks that want to share their AI projects, find collaborators and see what other folks are doing. Post your projects today: aiprojectboard.

I gotta say, group chats in ChatGPT provide a pretty good "let me AI that for you" experience : )

Claude Chat has some amount of compression for longer conversations, but eventually just gives up with an error message. Rude! So I used the Claude Exporter Chrome extension to download the conversation in markdown format (< 600k), fed it into a new Claude conversation and kept right on going. Nice!

I stumbled onto an interesting prompting technique today. I asked a question about task manager mcp servers and got a lot of projects that could be wrapped in mcp servers but didn't have one themselves. Frustrating. So I pushed back, clarified and got a great list back. Nothing special there.

I’m fallen immediately in love with the LM Council: lmcouncil.ai. The UX is lovely and the results are fascinating. #recommended

I'm a pragmatist and apparently so is gpt-5.2: "Philosophy is only useful if it eventually produces a config file." Truth.

Got myself a Dell UltraSharp U4025QW: 40″ 5K2K (5120×2160) IPS Black @ 120 Hz, ~450 nits, Thunderbolt 4 single-cable docking, 140 W power, text so sharp it judges you. They will be prying it out of my cold dead fingers.

Looking for a hand-drawn design language for Flutter that also supports go_router or any other Navigation 2.0 based routing package? Then look no further than the latest version of Sketchy with another great update from @blaqshyd! pub.dev/packages/ske...

OH: "watching your llm do tool calls is like watching the washing machine spin. you can let it just handle it." yes you can, but you have to check your clothes for damage when they come out or you're gonna look pretty terrible when you go out on a Saturday night. : )

Excellent talk on the Amp coding agent and "leaning into the weird": youtu.be/gvIAkmZUEZY?... Amp is the coding agent that taught me the value of turning the model quality dial to 11 in spite of the increased latency and cost. #recommended

by popular demand, I've update dartantic_ai to support image editing across Google (Nano Banana!), OpenAI and Anthropic across both surfaces: API: docs.dartantic.ai/media-genera... CLI: docs.dartantic.ai/dartantic-cl... e.g. "colorize @robot_bw.png"

this is my first experience with gpt5.2-codex from within the Codex plugin for VSC. not a good start...

JustHTML is a fascinating example of vibe engineering in action

I recently came across JustHTML, a new Python library for parsing HTML released by Emil Stenström. It’s a very interesting piece of software, both as a useful library and as …

If you think of "primitives" as data and operations to take that data between valid states, then apps are just human-oriented UIs over primitives that no longer slow down agents because they don't have to be blocked by the UIs; agents can go directly to the primitives. youtu.be/4Bg0Q1enwS4?...

what is up with california? I'm in santa barbara at a coffee shop without wifi and with all of the doors wide open. it's 54 degrees outside! in portland, we have the sense to close the doors when it gets cold.

I wanted to be able to play with all of the dartantic functionality interactively, so I built the dartantic CLI (aren't all the cool kids building agentic CLIs these days? : ).
