hmm... I have a thought for an experiment.

It's great for those that prefer a server-driven UI. You can also use the output for a client-side UI if you like. It also greatly simplifies the use of Flutter, which is great for rapid development. The Flutter SDK itself can be very tricky to use correctly, however that approach also gives you

Thank you. What are the benefits over the native dart way? better abstraction abilities?

If you want to sign-up to be notified of the cross-platform UI kit, you can now sign-up: The initial back-end SDK is for Nim.

I'm thinking of releasing it as Open Source, I just need to decide on the license and also clean things up a bit. But I hope to release something this year, preferably the 1st half of the year.

That is cool, I am also interested in this, and flutter is really nice for gui work. @jasonfi, can you share what you have with us? (ui converted to json, etc?) Sounds interesting, would like to try working with this.

I took a different approach. I write my UI code in Nim, which creates JSON. The JSON is sent to Flutter where I have a rendering engine display the JSON as Flutter widgets.
