Outdoors Apps with Coding Marine

We're back! And we're off the cuff.Luke visited me in NYC and we recorded an off the cuff in person episode. It's like we never left!Topics:- React Native vs Flutter pros and cons- Is Flutter cooked?- New York homeless and Hot Pot- Rivers CuomoLink outs:ZenRouterhttps://www.youtube.com/@MarcusNg

Hey all! Sorry for the long gap between episodes. This is a quick update letting you know what Luke and I are planning for the pod. Here's the TLDR: We're taking a long break while I move out to New York and take a Senior Flutter Engineer position with Betterment, but we'll be back next month. We're going to be coming back in the same feed (so stay subscribed!) but with a rebrand and production value (better audio quality and more!)

Luke challenged himself to build an app for his young nieces over a family reunion. Hear about what he built and how it was so addicting his extended family dubbed it "Luke's Crack App"! https://kidmoji.app/ https://x.com/luke_pighetti https://x.com/caseycrogers

This episode is a Luke update where he talks about the Flutter WASM based PWAs (Progressive Web App) he's been building to "vibe check" ideas that come to him and the new ultra-lightweight analytics service he built (and has now published)!

We interviewed Matan Lurey-and Engineer working on Impeller on the Flutter team!
