I'm currently scaling up my Flutter skills to focus on real-world production setups and want to dive deep into dynamic & targeted push notifications (handling foreground, background, terminated states, and 1-to-1 user targeting like order/chat updates).

I have a few questions for developers who have built this in production:

1. Tech Stack: Is FCM + Firebase Cloud Functions (or Supabase Edge Functions) the standard way to do 1-to-1 dynamic pushes?
2. Cost: Is FCM completely free on the Spark/Blaze plan, or do hidden backend costs (like Cloud Functions/Firestore reads) creep up fast during testing?
3. Alternatives: Are services like OneSignal or Novu worth using over vanilla FCM for custom device token targeting?
4. Learning Resources: What are the best YouTube tutorials, documentation, or GitHub repos that cover FCM HTTP v1, local notifications, and token management end-to-end?

Any roadmaps or recommended guides would be super helpful! Thanks..

I’ve been observing the current tech landscape in Nepal, and I’m genuinely curious to hear raw, honest perspectives from seniors, startup founders, solo builders, and experienced professionals in the sub.

From where I stand, the current market scenario, especially for freshers and entry-level devs..looks pretty brutal.

Here are a few things I’ve been mulling over and would love your take on:--

1. The Entry-Level Bottleneck & Generic Stacks: It feels like almost every bootcamp, college project, and junior portfolio is churning out the exact same generic full-stack web/mobile apps (MERN, Flutter, Laravel, React). Is the local/outsourcing market simply saturated at the junior level, or are companies just raising the bar on what "entry-level" even means?
2. The Senior + AI Shift: Are senior devs and leads now managing significantly more workload using LLMs/AI copilots, effectively replacing the need to hire 2–3 junior coders for boilerplate work? If AI is absorbing the routine CRUD and UI tasks, where does that leave someone trying to break into the industry?
3. Where is Technology Adoption in Nepal Heading? Over the next few years, will we see local tech adoption deepen (more enterprise tech, cloud migrations, fintech depth, local AI integrations), or will engineering in Nepal remain largely an outsourcing/offshore service play?
4. Will Upskilling Keep Up with AI? Will software engineering become an ultra-high-skill-only domain where basic-to-mid code execution gets commoditized, or will AI evolve faster than engineers can upskill, making traditional coding roles obsolete before people can even adapt?
5. What are YOU personally focusing on right now? For the experienced folks, founders, and active builders here: where are you sinking your time and energy these days?

• Mastering specific programming languages / frameworks?
• Deep-diving into domain-specific business logic & product thinking?
• System design, architecture, and cloud infrastructure?
• Core AI / ML integration and engineering?

Would appreciate your unfiltered thoughts, realities on the ground, and advice for anyone navigating this transition right now.

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a weird issue with Broker 49 TMS and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this or knows how to fix it.

Here is the situation:

• Meroshare: My portfolio shows the correct kitta count.
• TMS DP Holding: The shares are visible under DP Holding.
• TMS DP Watchlist: Shares are NOT showing up here(TMS balance is 0)
• Selling: When I go to sell, my Holdings show 0, so I can't place an order.

Things I've already checked/confirmed:

1. My Demat and Meroshare are both renewed on time.
2. My account is not frozen (confirmed directly with the Capital).

Is this a known bug or a mapping issue with Broker 49/TMS? Do I need to contact my broker to do a manual DP re-sync/mapping, or is there something I can fix on my end?

Any insight would be appreciated... Thanks.

I’m trying to smooth out my app's launch experience. Right now, when I open the app, there's a quick white screen that flashes before the native splash screen even appears.

I’ve tried a few different methods to get rid of it, but no luck so far. Is this a default Flutter thing, or is there a way to force it to match the native splash background color?

Hey guys,

जब अप्रिलमा धितोपत्र बोर्ड (SEBON) र NEPSE ले व्यक्तिगत कम्पनीको डेली प्राइस फ्लक्चुएसन लिमिटलाई १०% बाट बढाएर १५% पुर्‍याउने निर्णय गर्‍यो, धेरैलाई लागेको थियो यसले मार्केटलाई थप आधुनिक र लिक्विड (Dynamic) बनाउँछ। तर अहिले बजारको ताल हेर्दा, त्यो बेला एनालिस्टहरूले जुन डर देखाएका थिए, त्यो अक्षरशः रियल लाइफमा मेल खाँदै गइरहेको देखिन्छ।

मलाई लाग्छ यो १५% को सर्किट नियमले फाइदा भन्दा बढी हाम्रो मार्केटको Liquidity र भोल्युम (Volume) लाई मारिरहेको छ। Here is why:

१. The 15% "Overbought" Trap (किन्ने कोही नहुने)

अहिले कुनै साना वा हाइड्रो/फाइनान्स कम्पनीको मूल्य १०% नाघेर १५% तिर जान थाल्यो भने, स्क्रिनमा त मूल्य हरियो देखिन्छ तर त्यहाँ Buyers गायब भइदिन्छन्। स्मार्ट लगानीकर्ताहरूलाई राम्रोसँग थाहा छ कि एकै दिन १५% बढेको स्टक आर्टिफिसियल हुन सक्छ र भोलिपल्टै ठूलो करेक्सन आउन सक्छ। परिणाम? प्राइस माथि देखिन्छ तर कारोबार (Volume) ठप्प हुन्छ।

२. Panic and "Wait & See" on the Downside

बजार घट्दाको अवस्था झन् खराब भइरहेको छ। जब कुनै स्टक १०% भन्दा बढी क्र्यास हुन थाल्छ, क्रेताहरू बीचैमा हात हाल्ने हिम्मत गर्दैनन्। सबैजना "अझै सस्तोमा अर्थात् १५% कै भुइँ (Floor) मा पाइन्छ कि" भनेर पर्खेर बस्छन्। यसले गर्दा बीचको मूल्यमा कारोबार नै हुँदैन र भोल्युम 'चिपिक्कै' सुक्छ।

३. सम्पत्ति बन्धक जस्तै (Cash Flow Blocked)

जसलाई तत्काल पैसा चाहिएर सेयर बेच्नुपर्ने हो, उसले बजारमा क्रेता नै फेला पार्दैन। १०% को सर्किट हुँदा बरु अलि-अलि लिक्विडिटी हुन्थ्यो, अहिले त कि त 'अपर सर्किट' मा क्रेता हुन्नन्, कि 'लोअर सर्किट' मा बिक्रेता मात्र हुन्छन्।

के तपाईँहरूलाई पनि हालका दिनहरूमा नेप्सेमा यही कुरा महसुस भइरहेको छ? Do you think SEBON needs to revert this rule or am I just overthinking? Let’s discuss.

Ohhhh

Capital Gain Tax has increased

5% (>one year)= 7.5%

7.5% (<One Year)=10%

We’ve all heard the legend of Himalayan Distillery (HDL). Back when its paid-up capital was tiny, it was printing 50–100% returns through massive bonus shares year after year. It was the ultimate compounding machine.

But as the saying goes, "Trees don't grow to the sky." With HDL’s capital now exceeding Rs 3.8 Arba and EPS cooling down to the mid-20s, that specific "high-growth/low-cap" cycle is likely over.

So the real question is: how do you find the next one BEFORE it happens?
