There's loads of these types of tools popping around dart/flutter (flutterflow, etc). Nearly all of them are subscription based.

This seems decent, and free, after a quick look, where's the catch?

There's no catch! Flood is fully open-source and will remain free without subscriptions or closed-source paid modules.

Inspired by other open-source projects like https://ui.aceternity.com/, I'm developing Flood to contribute to the Flutter community and showcase what's possible. It serves as a strong portfolio piece and helps direct interested developers towards my freelancing company, JLogical, for consulting or custom development.

The goal is to create a win-win: the community gets a powerful, free tool, and it potentially leads to interesting projects or collaborations for us. But regardless, Flood will stay open and free.

Thanks for the reply. I'm really a beginner to dart/flutter. I found dart extremely easy to pick up but flutter has a steeper learning curve.

I'll definitely be checking this out, but think, similar to JavaScript and it's frameworks, learning the underlying technology first will give me a better insight into what this is doing.

Good luck with both this and your business.

In your opinion. why fluffer over a pwa?
