Congrats, Anunay, on building Azad. It’s so great to see the work continue after the hackathon. And to everyone else, let’s go! It’s time to start hacking. 🚀

From idea to production in 10 minutes. Build something real. 🚀 Try the Serverpod quickstart guide.

Now you can build real full-stack apps without installing complicated developer tools. Just download Serverpod App Studio and use your favorite AI agent. 🤖 Great for vibe-coders and developers that just want to try things out.

The countdown has begun! 🚀

I wrote a blog post about how to write high-quality code in the age of AI, drawing on my experiences at @serverpod.dev and as a senior software engineer at large companies such as Google and Zynga. Full article here: 👉 serverpod.dev/blog/quality...

We are ramping up to release a public beta of @serverpod.dev 4 and it’s going to be epic. Full-stack hot reload and AI-readiness are obviously the largest new features, but we are adding _so_ many new things. Today, we landed full PostGIS support. Stay tuned, much more to come!

Stateful hot reload for the server, database, web, and app. Coming in Serverpod 4. 🤯

Who do I know who is equally skilled at design and Flutter? 🤩

I held this talk almost three years ago. So much has happened with @serverpod.dev since then, it’s actually crazy to think about. Still, really cool what we already had back then. If you are curious about game development, there are lots of gold here! 👾 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hstnn7HRRz0

Do I know any great platform engineers? This is a super fun position, and it’s remote-friendly, too.

Where even the most advanced AI fails: "Draw a hand with six fingers."

I love how Google’s Stitch envisioned the speakers of the conference. 🤦‍♂️

Things are brewing. 👀

We currently have an opening for a Senior Flutter/Dart developer at @serverpod.dev 🚀 It’s a remote-friendly position, super challenging, and a fun team and tasks. Requirements 5+ years experience and CS degree. More info on our webpage.

Call me crazy, but the one design change I really like in macOS 26 is the new cursors. 😅 #abitlatetothegame

I’ve been working on a little personal project to improve code generation by AI agents for Flutter, Dart, and Serverpod. Seeing some great results. Keep your eyes open for a very cool demo soon. 👀

The engagement around @serverpod.dev is pretty wild. This week we’re reviewing 15 high-quality PRs from the community. Thanks for all the support and hard work. We’re getting to your submissions as fast as we possibly can! 🫶

Flutter has such incredible momentum right now. 🎯 Just to name a few things that are happening: 1️⃣ Toyota is building a fully fledged 3D game engine in Dart. 2️⃣ Xiaomi is rewriting all its core system apps in Flutter. 3️⃣ India's largest bank, SBI YONO, is moving its app to Flutter.

I got a chance to talk with David DeRemer, CEO at @vgventures.bsky.social, about @serverpod.dev and my founder journey. 🤩 Listen to the full conversation on YouTube or Spotify. Links are in the attached message.

So great to see what you are building with Serverpod. Cast your vote for your favorite project! 🏆

Want a fun challenge over the holidays? 🙌

Today’s showerthought. 🤔 What if neural networks have a hard limit for how intelligent they can become? Is it possible that humans are pretty close to that limit? Perhaps evolution would have made us smarter otherwise.

I built the personal assistant of my childhood dreams with #FlutterDev, @serverpod.dev, and a Raspberry Pi. 🤓 Watch the whole process on YouTube: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQzW8HmG-As

This is a win all around. 🙌 Try out Serverpod 3. Try out Serverpod Cloud (free during the hackathon). Win large cash prizes. 🤩

It’s crazy to think about, but almost 20 man-years of engineering have gone into @serverpod.dev 🤯 Today’s shower thought. 🛀

We’re coming in hot, but this one will be absolutely massive. 💥

At @serverpod.dev, we’re eating our own dog food. 🐾

Preparing for takeoff! 🧑‍🚀 We are squeezing in a few last-minute features ahead of the @serverpod.dev 3 launch. 🚀 3.0.0-rc.2 (up on Pub now) brings support for inheritance in our data models and a host of smaller improvements.

We sometimes get asked why we choose to build our own model and API generation in Serverpod. This table perfectly illustrates the reason - we wanted a more seamless developer experience, with features other frameworks simply don't match.

We still have a few more openings for judges for our upcoming Flutter/Serverpod hackathon - $20k worth of prizes 🥳. The hackathon will start in early December, and the judging period will be in mid-February. Send us a DM or tag someone you think would be good. 🙌 (Some community presence required.)

Someone should really develop an AI for touching up faces or other details in reference images. Or is there such a tool somewhere? It looks like all the major ones utterly fail at this task.

As a founder, sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in messages. I'm working through my inboxes as we speak, so sorry if I haven't gotten back to you in a timely manner. 🙏 What are your strategies for staying on top? (Give me more messages. 🤦‍♂️)

Hey builders and fellow founders! 👷 What tools are you using to capture and analyze your user data (attribution, conversions, churn, etc)? Most interested in cross-channel and web.

Another day, another exciting opportunity at Serverpod. 🚀

Want a sneak peek behind the curtains? We got two exclusive (and very exciting) announcements up on Discord. 🤫 Join here: https://discord.gg/wJ4pQeHhVc

Or, good with Dart and be like a normal person. 😆

Suddenly it happens! 🌟 @serverpod.dev is on Discord. Join us there and spread the word. 🙌 https://discord.gg/wJ4pQeHhVc

My talk on vibe coding full-stack Dart is now available on YouTube. 🤓 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzWCrGsaWD0

Do I know someone in Stockholm (or possibly in the world) who is awesome at growing companies? 📈

"Is there a seahorse emoji?" 👈 Ask ChatGPT - thank me later.

We have been working on our "version 2" of Dart Shelf for almost a year. It's so great to see it so close to the finishing line. 🤩 It really has some great improvements over Shelf, but will still be compatible with old Shelf middleware.

Vibe-coding Flutter? I recorded a video with all my best tips for how you can make it work for you! 🤩 You will find some great information in there if you want to improve your AI workflow. youtu.be/Zrd6piQgvak

Just gave my talk about vibe-coding full-stack Dart at #ftcon25eu. Here is a link to my slides. I will post a video of the full talk when I get a chance to do a recording. 😀 serverpod.dev/presentation...

Are you building something with Serverpod, and will you be at Fluttercon in Berlin next week? 🚀 Get a chance to book a 30-minute one-on-one over a cup of coffee. ☕️ I'd love to talk! Book here: 👉 https://calendar.app.google/mXvmvRFGDrn4KH8V8
