I was named a @serverpod.dev Developer Expert 🫡 Looking at the other names on serverpod.dev/community, I feel like I got knighted ⚔️👑 Thanks for having me 💙

Dear @flutter.dev people in and around #Berlin 👋 As we always have a lot of fun at Flutter Cocktail Night Berlin, we were wondering if some of you would be interested in a Flutter Christmas Market gathering? 🎄🍷 And of course, everyone from a bit further away is welcome, too!😊

Okay the move is done (for now) I'm now located in Berlin. So if you're into #flutter, #tech, #food or just have a good vibe. Hit me up! I know already a couple of good places, but I'm of course open for suggestions.

Ich sehe das ja nicht so kritisch wie Florian Klenk. Wir alle betreiben Medien, angeblich soziale, aber jedenfalls Medien. Diese Tipps sind sehr gut und richtig.

🚀 We’re excited to announce marqablys our latest open source project: 🚀 Flites — an open-source, cross-platform sprite editor built with Flutter! 🦋🔥 Built together with @benauerdev.bsky.social & Jacob 👉 flites.app #flutter #flutterdev #developers #gamedev #madewithflutter #pixelart #flamegames

🤔 Met a junior dev at a meetup this week getting actual training (no 'just ask ChatGPT'). First since 2022. It's got me thinking about the pipeline—if mentorship becomes rare, what happens in 5-10 years? Curious what others are seeing. #Software

Am I the only one who thinks those stroke memes are unfunny? I like dark humor but that's too much imho...

Damn 😳

Fluttercon was amazing. I'm horrible at the whole social media thing so this is literally the only picture I took in all of those 3 days 😅🤣🤣 But I had an amazing time and it was great meeting you all! See you next year hopefully 🥳🥳🥳🥳

On my way to FlutterCon Berlin 🙌🚀

So the "FCC won't let him be" 🤔🤔🤔

I will be trying to self-host my RustConf 2025 presentation. Here is how it looks inside Redox OS! I implemented full-screen in orbital for this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQAS...

My new laptop has an NPU 🤖 Naturally, I had to try running an LLM locally. Now I’m wondering — apart from privacy 🔒, what use cases would a local LLM be better for compared to a cloud one?

🎮 Yesterday I attended an indie game dev meetup in Amsterdam! 🖥️ Loved seeing how tech and storytelling come together 🚀

I need to get a new phone, and somehow I don't want any of the available ones. Makes me wonder what a Linux phone by @tuxedocomputers.bsky.social or @blog.system76.com.web.brid.gy would look like. I mean I'd buy that! #LinuxPhone #Linux

It's been a few months, and I'm quite happy with it. 8/10 Stars

Go ahead. 😅 We've got a type-safe ORM, great real-time communication using Dart streams, pub-sub, authentication, caching, world-class logging, file uploads, task scheduling, AI support, stellar testing framework – all built in. Batteries are included. 🔋

LGTM

Cool Streetart spotted in Arnhem NL #StreetArt

Serverpod Academy 🎓 is opening up with a first Ground Training course. We are looking for the first 10 people to go through the course (we think it will take about four hours) and give us feedback. Send a DM to @viktorious.com to reserve your spot. 🙌

I wrote a short blog post about a small tool I built to help deal with CPU spikes and launch issues on Linux Wayland setups. If you’ve seen the app, this explains why and how it works. Check it out: medium.com/@ben.auer.de... #linux #flutter #wayland

I'm stepping outside my comfort zone and doing my first-ever live stream with live coding on Wednesday. I will be building a real-world app with Flutter and Serverpod. It's been top secret until now, but join in if you want to find out what it is or show some support. 📺 youtube.com/live/VVq2FsU...

When people from 🇦🇹, 🇩🇪 or 🇨🇭 ask me:"Have you adjusted to living in the Netherlands?". My answer is:"I can walk by that sign without laughing!" To all non German speakers: "Huren" is the dutch word for renting. But has a very different meaning in German!

Hey guys! Straight away this post is not for everyone. 🐧But if you use Dart/Flutter and you run Linux then give me 5 minutes of your time. I'm 99% sure you won't regret it, otherwise I can reimburse you with a cookie 🍪 #Flutter #Linux #DartLang medium.com/@ben.auer.de...

v0.0.1 is out 👇Packaged as an AppImage so you can just download and run it. github.com/BenAuerDev/d... #Linux #Wayland

Electron apps on Hyprland/Wayland sometimes need extra flags to work right. I made a small Flutter app to easily manage .desktop files and add those flags—no more manual editing. github.com/BenAuerDev/d... #ArchLinux #Wayland #Hyprland

I'm going to learn some stuff about a11y today I guess 📚 #a11y #Software meetu.ps/e/NHFVN/12TN...

New toy arrived 🥳🥳 what keyboard do you use? #keyboard

Been playing around with hyprland on my old laptop. And it's fun 🤭💻 #linux

Tiny Update📰: I added another one for .AppImage to support all #linux bros 💙💪 #flutter

Build and Deploy for desktop platforms ✅! Can't wait to reveal what we're cooking here! 🤫🤫 #flutter

Anyone tried Fedora i3 Spin yet? #Linux

Another Request for Comments is up. 🤓 How would you like the cloud storage API to be improved? ⛅️ github.com/serverpod/se...

The feeling when a computation in #flutterdev takes too long, but isolates save the day. 💪✨

Want to start using Flutter in the New Year? Learning Dart doesn’t mean you have to learn a whole new programming language! 🎯 🐸 This blog shows how Dart's familiar syntax makes it a breeze for devs with experience in JavaScript, Kotlin, Java, or Swift to learn. verygood.ventures/blog/startin...

May the new year bring all the happiness you deserve friends 💪🙌

I love living abroad, but Vienna is still the most beautiful city to me ❤️ #home

Honesty in the opening line of a PR 🙌

Very merry christmas peeps 🙌

Thanks to @codemagic.io (and the help of a friend) I was able to build my app now for iOS aswell 🙌 Next step 🥳🥳 #buildinpublic

Serverpod 2.2, code-named "Futurism," is now out. 🚀 It brings a fully featured testing framework plus two cool experimental features. 🧪 📺 Keynote: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAQK... ✍️ Blog post: medium.com/@serverpod/s...
