Flutter MCP already has flutter_driver, get_widget_tree tools that work with flutter_driver package. Why would you want this over that?

We interviewed a journalist/author in 2011 at Twilio for an amorphous “storytelling” role. Didn’t work out but I am not surprised at all this became a major part of tech PR.

Join the Mailtoo beta Using TestFlight is a great way to help developers test beta versions of their apps.

I'm building an app called Mailtoo that you can set as your default mail handler so when you click on a mailto: URL, you can pick what you want to do with the email address. Want to try it out? Join the macOS TestFlight: testflight.apple.com/join/nPNRSffq

Do you use separate email apps for work, home, school, etc? Do you copy and paste email addresses all day into your CRM, help desk software, or internal admin? Do you dread clicking on a mailto: link?

I miss the days when you could complain about an API on social media and someone at the company might actually do something about it.

You’d think with $1B in funding you’d be able to hire a competent developer relations team.

In general it does not seem like there’s a lot of Flutter community here.

When I worked in dev tools in the 2010s the fear was always AWS launching a competitor. I don’t know of a single startup that went out of business because AWS decided to compete.

The only requirement for voting I’m in favor of adding is being capable of figuring out if a text message is a scam or not.
