It took a long time, but we finally added primary constructor syntax to Dart. If you want some (a lot) of background into how we designed it the way we did, I wrote a long blog post about it: dart.dev/blog/bringin... #dartlang

Bringing Primary Constructors to Dart

An inside look at the design decisions, trade-offs, and syntactic sugar behind adding primary constructors to Dart 3.13.

Flutter 3.47 and Dart 3.13 have been out for more than one week at this point... So we've been working on a new release candidate for Very Good Analysis with all the new linter rules it packs! 🎯

A quick release before the next major Flutter release comes out: Very Good CLI 1.4.0 🚀 What's good this time: 🌟 Shiny new feature: Introducing very_good.yaml for configuration as code

Do you use Very Good CLI to generate your Flutter apps? This issue needs your attention and feedback! ‼️ We're currently evaluating an approach to bring dynamic flavors to the Flutter app template, which could be tackled in a few ways specified in the issue comments. github.com/VeryGoodOpen...

Very Good CLI v1.3.0 is officially out! 🚀 Here is a look at what’s new: 💙 Full support for Dart 3.12 and Flutter 3.44 across the CLI and all built-in templates 📱 💻 The flutter_app template now supports the --platforms flag 🧵👇

With the recent launch of Flutter 3.44 and Dart 3.12, Very Good Analysis 10.3.0 is officially in pre-release! 🦄 We want the community to help us battle-test it. Head over to pub.dev, upgrade to the pre-release, and let us know how the new lint handles your codebase! 💙 🔗 pub.dev/packages/ver...

Very Good CLI v1.2.0 is out! 🎉 The templates got some solid updates in this one. 🐦 The biggest: very_good_flutter_plugin now uses Pigeon for platform communication. New plugins scaffolded with the CLI come with type-safe platform channels already set up, no manual wiring needed.

I’m stepping into a new role as Technical Delivery Lead at @vgventures.bsky.social! 🦄 ​Almost 5 years in, and leading our OSS initiatives lately has been the perfect foundation for this next chapter. Excited to keep pushing high standards for the @flutter.dev community! 🚀

We've deprecated Very Good Coverage. 🚨 After years of helping Flutter teams enforce code coverage thresholds in CI, the action has been archived. Coverage enforcement is now handled natively by Very Good Workflows via the Very Good CLI. No separate action needed. 🧵👇

We keep delivering 🎯 Very Good CLI 1.1.0 is out: 🎨 New app_ui_package template with Widgetbook support 🧪 check-ignore, run-skipped and flavor flags + uncovered lines for test 🤖 Very Good MCP supports Google Antigravity
