    1. Just shipped flutter_validators 1.2.0 🚀. A pure-Dart string validation package. Inspired by validator.js. 💙
    2. Built a free screenshot tool for App Store + Play Store — since we ship to both, it does both stores and 19 languages in one place. No signup, runs in-browser
    3. I built a tool to publish Flutter apps to Flathub - looking for early testers
