When I think of new technologies, I think of Flutter. Last year Flutter Web transitioned from beta to stable. But even though it’s stable, it doesn’t mean that it is production-ready. I’ve been part of the Flutter community for several years and people complain that Flutter supports too many platforms (Android, iOS, web, Windows, macOS and Linux) and that spreads Flutter development too thin. Some people have been waiting for years for Flutter web to come out of beta and are still waiting for Flutter to support SEO. While others want Flutter development to focus on its original purpose which is to be a viable solution for creating mobile apps. I’ve been developing using Flutter for clients and I wish the web version of my apps worked as well as they do for the android/iOS versions. The idea of one codebase, and deploy everywhere is a great idea. But in 2022 we’re still experiencing the growing pains and there is still a lot of work ahead.
This week my team met with the head of engineering and a software engineer from Brain Electrophysiology Lab (BEL). BEL is a neuroscience technology company based in Eugene, Oregon. Their work focuses on software and hardware tools for neuroscience researchers.
My team is tasked with adding features to one of their cloud platform apps called FLOW (Forward Looking Operations Workflow). FLOW is a software tool that helps researchers manage their experiment workflows and collaborate with others. That is all I can share for now about the project, I hope to do my best and contribute quality work.
