Dart Workspaces: Native Monorepo Support for Flutter

If you've ever split a Flutter app into a handful of local packages, you know the friction: every package gets its own `.dart_tool/`, its own `pubspec.lock`, and its own dependency resolution. You wire them together with `path:` dependencies, run `pub get` in each folder (or lean on a tool to do it for you), and hope nobody's transitive versions drift apart.

Anchoring Floating UI in Flutter with CompositedTransformTarget and CompositedTransformFollower

Dropdown menus, autocomplete suggestions, tooltips, popovers, context menus — almost every app eventually needs a piece of UI that floats above the rest of the layout and stays glued to some other widget.

Stop Burning Tokens on Code Exploration: Optimizing Claude Code with CodeGraph

If you've spent any real time with Claude Code on a large codebase, you've watched it happen. You ask a deceptively simple question — "how does the extension host talk to the main process?" — and Claude dispatches an Explore agent that proceeds to grep, glob, ls, and Read its way through dozens of files. A minute and a half later you get a great answer, but you also burned 90k tokens and 50 tool calls getting there.

Scaling Flutter: A Practical Guide to Feature-Based Architecture Across Multiple Repositories

As a Flutter application grows from a simple prototype into a complex, enterprise-level product, the way you organize your code becomes just as critical as the code itself. If you’ve ever stared at a massive, monolithic `lib` folder and felt a sense of impending dread when trying to untangle dependencies, you aren’t alone.
