Nate – the grate

This website is made with Flutter! flutter.dev

Framework

This site uses a specific branch of the Flutter framework, to allow for a few things:

• Allowing RenderObjectWidgets to subscribe to Listenables, so that components can be re-rendered directly without rebuilding a widget subtree.
  • This applies to both implicit and explicit animations!
• Adding a SplashBox API, so that custom button widgets can act similarly to Material design buttons, with better performance.

State Management

The business logic of this web app is handled by native Flutter APIs (including stateful and inherited widgets), along with a few additional dependencies:

• go_router, a routing API that supports deep links & URL patterns.
• collection_notifiers, since it's much more fun to work with than the native WidgetStatesController.
• flutter_hooks, a powerful API that allows for composable, shared business logic between widgets.

Code Generation

By using a GraphQL query and an executable Dart file, the contribution stats are automatically updated each time the website is deployed!
