Flutter Linux desktop is already a thing, but currently can't cross compile to aarch64. However that may shortly change, when this merges: https://github.com/flutter/buildroot/pull/390#discussion_r486818885

"If you are a parent who cares about #privacy ...you can also invest in Purism products and have peace of mind that your child's data is protected while they access school services on the web..."

For anyone interested, free remote Flutter conference is taking place on August 14th, 2020. Ken VanDine , engineering manager on Ubuntu Desktop, will be covering the recent work to bring Flutter support to Linux, which was released as an alpha last month.
I'm pretty excited about this, but can't cross-compile for L5 yet:

If you didn't port your app to libhandy 1, now is the best time. We even have a migration guide to help you! https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libhandy/hdy-migrating-0-0-to-1.html
If you ported to a libhandy 1 alpha, I also strongly recommend you to update to 0.90 as you are guaranteed you won't have to change a thing after.
Had a little fun this morning building my first Rust application and running it on the Librem5 emulator. Here are a few things I learned specific to developing on a Mac:
@zwerg12 @purism I got the latest L5 img running in VirtualBox on MacOS. The Web browser displays the initial https://body.scultpting.app page, but unfortunately buttons don't respond to clicks 😔 .
Flutter Web is experimental at this stage so I'm hoping that issue will get ironed out one day.
This is what a private, secure and freedom respecting phone looks like #Librem5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhrnMVJDpfs
We are so proud of what the team and community have achieved so far and it's only going to get better 🚀
@zwerg12 As of right now all the data is stored locally on the phone. After installing the app it should work offline. One day I would like to figure out how to sync encrypted data between apps running on different devices, and how to share some of it socially if a user chooses to (Strava like)
I'm developing a new workout-tracking app and wondering if the Flutter web version works on Purism's Librem 5?
