Additionally, your tests can run offline and will not disrupt your pipelines. In this post, we will mock HTTP clients in Flutter tests.

Why You Should Learn Flutter
I read another one of those ‘Is Flutter Dying?’ posts. It’s almost comical. I do not understand why so many people are posting about this.
Maybe it’s some deep-seated belief that Flutter is just too easy. “Flutter can’t be real, it’s just too simple. Surely I’m dreaming, right?”
I don’t think we have any risk of Flutter going away. Too many people use it, as I’ve argued in my previous post, including Google themselves. So whenever I see yet another ‘is Flutter dying’ post it’s more funny than worrying. But there is one section of the post that I read that I don’t exactly agree with.

Tech Startup from Scratch: Project Announcement
I’m super excited about what’s next with my channel. We’re going to do something a little bit crazy. A little different. We’re gonna build a full-stack app/platform from scratch. And I mean starting with nothing and seeing it through all-the-way to the app store. We’ll have all the normal stuff (state management, networking, local storage, etc.) but also take care of things like push notifications, media uploading, server production deployment, and even build the marketing/landing site at the end.
