Have you seen the universal_widget by Goon Nguyen? The amount of code you save to create interesting animations is promising, but I wonder if your code will become too difficult to understand when a new developer joins your team.
In other news, Microsoft now lets you login into online services without a password. I'd love to see this become the standard and I wonder when all the services we use for authentication in Flutter apps will implement something similar. What do you think?

🔗 Automated Unit Testing with GitHub Actions
Being able to run tests automatically when you push to your codebase, or when you open a pull request in GitHub, will help you spot regression bugs early in the development process. It also ensures that code written by others does not break existing functionalities (if you wrote tests for them). How do you automatically run tests on your Flutter project using GitHub Actions? Read this short article by Reme Le Hane.
