Ubuntu Flutter Community Desktop Jam (July 19-28)

Hey! Ubuntu Flutter Community is organizing the UFC Desktop Jam - it’s a week-long jam (July 19-28) to build something with Flutter for desktop :desktop_computer:
If you’ve been curious about Flutter desktop, this is a great chance to jump in. UFC Flutter Desktop Jam - itch.io #FlutterDev #FlutterDesktop #Ubuntu linux

It’s sad Linux is (again) the underdog for Flutter. So many packages run on MacOS, not so many in Windows, almost none in Linux =(

One can dream about a SteamBox overthrowing Windows (that, in my opinion, it’s majority in personal computers only because of gaming capabilities), and a huge initiative in Flutter for UI (let’s be honest, UI is utterly crap in Linux) and a flutter-like framework to develop CLI tools in Dart (with windows, menus, etc.).

Thanks for resharing that. Have you decided what you’re building for the jam yet? I’ve been meaning to try out Flutter desktop, so this might be a good excuse to finally dive in.

Sounds interesting. Have you posted this in other platforms like twitter, reddit, bsky, etc.? Maybe even contacting the Flutter team so they post this in their official account?

What packages are you missing from Linux ecosystem?

I’m just spreading the word about the jam but I think I’ve posted this everywhere - including LinkedIn :scream:

Oh, I haven’t decided yet, I hope I will be able to join because I have very little time these days and can only work solo

I have something on my mind, having a deadline now perhaps will help me finish it sooner :smiley:

All apps must be able to run on Windows, macOS and Linux.

macos, I have to dig up the emulator.

All app development must be done during the time of the app jam.

Who’s going to do a whole app in 9 days? Maybe if it’s something simplistic. Do you have to continuously submit what you did or you just make a github repo when it’s done?

And no, posting it the week before the competition doesn’t give other people to do it.

what?
