Like many other Flutter devs, over the past year I have been on a quest to create state management library that feels right to me. However, rather than trying to create a solution that is “better” in some abstract sense, I have been trying to create something that’s more like…

Check out the example, and docs to get started! Earlier this year, I released Upstate, a state management library that attempted to emulate the properties that make Flutter so great. Flutter manages to balance simplicity, developer velocity, ergonomics (and fun!) with a robust framework that can easily scale to large…

As Bitcom based apps have become more sophisticated and feature rich, we have bumped up against the limits of what we can achieve with strictly positional push data arguments. What exactly do I mean by this? Let’s take a look at the B protocol for an example: OP_RETURN 19HxigV4QyBv3tHpQVcUEQyq1pzZVdoAut…

Flutter state management should be simple (but also type-safe)! I recently introduced Upstate, a simplified state management library for Flutter that is meant to be very easy to learn and yet powerful and extensible. You can check out my introductory article here. If you’re a keen developer, you will realize…

Flutter state management should be simple! Note: In an earlier article, I outlined the concept for this library using the observable dart package. It turns out the observable library hasn’t been maintained in years and was unsuitable for this use case. …

Upstate is now ChangeEmitter. Check out my writeup here. When I first started using Flutter, it felt like a revelation. I had never used a framework that was so simple, easy, fun and powerful. With other UI frameworks, it wouldn’t be long before I had to hack a solution together…

Note: I turned this concept into a state management library called Upstate. However, I didn’t end up using the observable library as it hasn’t been maintained in years and instead built everything from scratch. Check it out! State management in Flutter is pretty much the black sheep of the framework…
