    1. Flutter developers, what do you prefer: video_player or media_kit?
    2. Stop rewriting pagination and filtering for every project: server_table 1.1.0 is out with support for custom REST query serializers and OData out-of-the-box

    1. I was tired of Lottie files slowing down my apps, so I built a web-based playground to test Skia (SKSL) shaders so people can directly drop it in their apps!
    2. Tired of Gradle and Kotlin daemons eating 15GB of RAM during Flutter Android builds, so I built a small TUI tool in Go to kill them

    2. Why Flutter's camera lag on Android takes ~500ms (and how we patched camera_android_camerax down to 33ms)
    3. 6 months ago I said cached_network_image was dead. Now 76 apps run my fork, including a 28k star one.
