Flutter - Dependency Hell

With the recent move to Dart 3, many applications out there are upgrading to take advantage of null safety. Null safety IS awesome, but what isn’t awesome is the plethora of packages out there in Pub that don’t yet support these breaking changes. Why is this an issue? Because most Flutter apps built out there (particularly ones built by low-code tools) have tons of dependencies. Odds are one of these will break when performing a major upgrade like this.

What's Next: FIT.jl and Running Data Analysis

Why Flutter: What I've Been Working On

Over the last few months, I have been working on a side project that I intend to launch this coming fall.

All of these choices have their pros and cons, but what I eventually chose was Flutter.
