Hello everyone ,
@mivoligo, @jupiter007, @madsrh and me started a small flutter project in the past weeks.
We wanted to see what we can do with flutter on the ubuntu desktop.
We’ve managed with the help of existing flutter/dart packages for gsettings.dart, bluez.dart, nm.dart, yaru.dart and yaru_icons.dart to create a skeleton of an Ubuntu settings app:
Some pages are already fully functional, most of the pages only exist as an issue on the GitHub repository.
We’ve isolated common patterns that make sense on an desktop operating system as widgets in our app. Our inspiration for design are the unity8 settings app, windows11 and ofc gnome control center, because most of the settings are bound to gsettings in the gnome desktop.
One may ask why we do this. I can only speak for myself here and I want to explore the power of flutter while enjoying the ease of coding with flutter, dart and vscode and enjoying the rich ecosystem of packages available on pub.dev and the AAA-documentation on flutter.dev.
We would appreciate if more people would find their way onto our repository to help out with either ideas, bug reports or flutter/dart code contributions (this would currently help the most, because there are so many pages to implement).
Best regards,
Frederik
