A month of Flutter: a look back

Originally published on bendyworks.com . This is it. 31 blog posts in 31 days. Writing  a month of flutter  has been a ton of work but also lots of fun and a good learning experience. I really appreciate how supportive and and positive everyone as been. Publishing experience For the series I've been posting on  bendyworks.com ,  DEV ,  my personal blog , and  Medium .

HomePage ( title: 'Birb' , posts: _loadPosts ( context ), ) The  PostPage  implementation is a simple  StatelessWidget  that takes  Post  and renders a  PostItem . This will become more complex as things like comments and likes are implemented but works for now. class PostPage extends StatelessWidget { const PostPage ({ Key key , @required this
