Ok... and now Github is down (pull/fetch, create PRs etc.).

It's been a crazy day for the internet, I must say.

Pleased to see that the transcript UX of Metacast looks and feels great on it, almost like a book!

Across all the dashboards from the plethora of tools we have, this is the one that energizes me most.

This is why we do what we do.

Someone learning something new in Ghana...

Someone in Scandinavia settling into bed with a sleep podcast...

Each dot is a person somewhere in the world listening to a podcast. It’s still small. Still growing.

I visit this dashboard at least once a day. This is Metacast usage in real-time, across the world 🌎

Thankfully our app doesn’t feel out of place (although it could be updated in the future to match some of the OS look/feel - once the OS also matures).

Gotta say, it really does feel like Apple didn’t think this one through. Especially on dark mode, the liquid effect makes it very hard to read text on a lot of UI elements (like their own notifications - see the screenshot).

My trust in Claude is finally starting to grow :)

The Hidden Flutter Pattern That’s Wasting 30% of Your App’s Performance This subtle mistake almost tanked our food delivery app. Here’s how we fixed it — and how you can too.

For MediaQuery that’s well known (to use a specific selector like sizeOf etc.).

Question is about Theme.of(context). It’s used everywhere I see - and is that hurting performance so much?

@codewithandrea.com WDYT?

Would love to hear from #Flutter experts about this: www.reddit.com/r/FlutterDev....

Is Theme.of(context) - widely used and shown as an example - hurting performance so much?
