Why do I always feel like I'm too late? Before AI I felt every mobile app was built already, when AI started I felt like everyone used every opportunity to use it already, now AI is peaking and I feel like everyone's shipping 100 apps a day and ... I'm too late 🫩

I'm finally jumping into marketing on social media. I decided to not follow the AI-slop-marketing train. Instead I'm trying to create value, I'm making my own videos, being my own influencer. Of course this can fail massively and I'm in the total beginner mode now, but...

I can absolutely recommend doing the most annoying task of the week on a monday morning. It is pure suffering (trust me, I had to deal with the deutsche Finanzamt) but afterwards the feeling of freedom hits different 🥰. Could've postponed it for another week, but I didn't 💪!

First 3 days of focusing on own stuff caused so many different feelings 🤣... From "DAAANG I'M FREE 😍! I can do whatever I want" to "shit, how is this ever going to work, where the heck should I start 😵‍💫". It's part of the game I guess. I'm scared af and I'm excited af 😆.

On windows you need to use ALT+V to paste images into claude code 🥲. Nobody told me 😭...

Time has come! I need to move on. The past months with AI completely changed the freelance developer job for me - more in a bad way. I lost the fun. I feel exhausted every evening eventhough I "just" read thousands of lines of code, supervised, context switched every 2 mins ...

Yesterday I did the first step of migrating my app drumbitious away from firebase and moved it over to supabase. I needed a quick fix, since firebase storage requires me to update to paid plan in February. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem to ...

Finally I'm able to share one of my latest flutter apps I built for a customer. Since I'm a workout person (and a woman 😆) - I really love the idea and I'm proud it turned out well :)! Maybe your girl friend/wife/female friends like it too, highly appreciate sharing it 🥰🙏! 👇

Has anyone of the flutter devs used @powersync.com or the brick_offline_first package? We are moving away from firebase to a custom backend with SQL database and therefore loose the offline-sync-feature. But it's crucial for our users since they live in places with very bad internet

Wuhuuuu clarity can now be paused :)))! This was the missing feature for me to include it in my apps🥳! In case you haven't heard about it - give it a shot for your analytics tracking in flutter apps! Really like it so far!

Okay, today is not indie-friday, but issue-friday 🥲. In case your using flutter 3.32.0 with flavors and you try to build for android AND your gradle is going mad (as always) - check this one to make it work :D github.com/flutter/flut...

Repeated release builds that use Android flavors and flutter_localizations fail with gradle error · Issue #163591 · flutter/flutter

Steps to reproduce Create new Flutter project (I used latest Flutter 3.29) Add flavors to /android/app/build.gradle.kts flavorDimensions += "flavor-type" productFlavors { create("dev") { dimension ...

Be careful when using in_app_review package version 2.0.10 with flutter 3.29.3 or 3.32.0 - it may cause your app to crash in production (in case you made it built in the first place ^^). Here's the issue: github.com/britannio/in...

InAppReviewPlugin.java uses or overrides a deprecated API. · Issue #155 · britannio/in_app_review

Read testing guidelines Have you read the testing guidelines at https://pub.dev/packages/in_app_review#testing-read-carefully? Hi Britannio, thanks so much for this amazing package! When we updated...

Learned something new today ✌️! If you want to exclude a whole field for serialization using dart_mappable, you have to create a Hook "RemoveFieldHook" and attach it to the class.

Is it me or is cursor completely broken this morning? No auto completion, no answers, nothing. How am I supposed to work like that 😅? Back to 2020 or what 🫣?

I did it! I spent countless hours on providing a new version of my app screenshots which... convert equally 💪. I have a lot to learn I guess ^^". Gonna do localizations now, let's hope this has a better result🤞😅 !

Hehe, updating to dart 3.7.2 and flutter 3.29.3 removed all my trailing commas eventhough "require_trailing_commas" is set to true 🥲... There's already a discussion on the repo: github.com/dart-lang/da... but if you don't want that to happen I'd not recommend upgrading to 3.7.2.

Preserve trailing commas · Issue #1652 · dart-lang/dart_style

TL;DR: The new Dart formatter (3.7.0) automatically removes trailing commas, which changes code formatting in an undesirable way. This contradicts the require_trailing_commas linter rule and remove...

"I see the issue now." - Cursor, 2025, 24/7 And then we both end up in a neverending loop of me telling cursor it's still not working and cursor giving me hundrets of changes and in the end... Something else is working, some other things are broken and I got new features 😅!

How do you find out why/when the people cancel your trial or subscription? I do have posthog in my app but damn - this is really hard to track. Am I missing something? I do have trials coming in lately but most of them get cancelled and I have no idea how to find out why :(?

Haha, I'm a n00b and totally miscommunicated 😁👏! I'm diving into building my first fullstack dart/flutter application USING @Serverpod, but I'm NOT part of the Serverpod team - I'm still a freelancer. Sorry, my last post was misleading 😆.

Figma has become one of my most used tools for almost everything 😅... I'm creating app mockups, designs/systems, screenshot designs, feature documentation, uml diagrams, architectural concepts for my practice room etc. Guess I need everything visually 😄!

Can't believe I'm saying this, but if this 1 star shit continues on Google Play because you have to pay for pro features - I'm switching over to Apple only. Seriously, it annoys the hell out of me and I can understand why more and more indie devs choose Apple only, but on ...

How and when do you measure if your ASO changes worked? I have honestly no idea to make this stuff visible. Currently I'm using tags in Astro and check every now and then if my apps went up in ranking but I'm not satisfied with this somehow.

To the flutter people who release on ios and android -> what's the ratio for ios vs android users? For me 5:1 android:ios. Looking at all paying users so far it's 52% android and 48% ios users.

Okay "userorient" has been really helpful for me to track features my users might want. And they seem to like it 😍! Also thanks for the amazing support from the developer for implementing my feature requests 🥳

Email spam reached a new level. 20++ mails per day. ALL topics you can imagine - same format everywhere. What dafuq is going on ... how can I stop this? Anyone built an AI anti-spam bot already?
