Flywheel x FlutterFlow: you shipped your app. people signed up. why aren't they coming back?

Flywheel x FlutterFlow: you shipped your app. people signed up. why aren't they coming back?

hey builders! it's lydia from flutterflow :)

getting people to download your app is one thing, but getting them to come back is another. we see a lot of builders focused on getting to launch, but what happens after that first signup?

on oct 14 at 10 am EST, we're hosting a workshop with Erik Goins, founder of Flywheel Studio, on activation, retention, and re-engagement. basically, how to give users a real reason to open your app again.

we'll get into what makes a good first-time experience, where users tend to drop off, and how to bring them back.

if you're building an app and thinking about retention, you're welcome to join.

rsvp here!

Dynamic Links are back in FlutterFlow

Firebase Dynamic Links going away left a pretty tough gap for mobile apps, so we built our own.

You can now create short, shareable links in FlutterFlow that open your app directly to a specific page with whatever parameters you need.

If the person doesn't have your app installed yet, the same link can send them to the App Store, Google Play, or your web app instead.

So things like:

  • referral links
  • user invites
  • sharing a specific product, post, profile, etc.
  • deep linking into a particular part of your app

You can also track clicks and app opens for each link! :)

We’ve been working through your feature requests. 6 things shipping this week

hey r/flutterflow!

we've been lurking in the feature requests. a few things shipping in FlutterFlow this week:

- Custom Nav Components: you can build navigation using your own components instead of being limited to the standard nav bar.

- RevenueCat improvements: new properties + 9 new standard actions.

- Try / Catch / Finally: you can now add error handling directly to your action flows.

- Native file editing: you can edit MainActivity.kt and the iOS Podfile directly in FlutterFlow.

- Agent Canvas device switching: switch between screen sizes while designing in Agent Canvas.

- Concurrent Agent threads: you can run multiple Agent threads at the same time in FlutterFlow Desktop.

a lot of these came directly from things you all have been asking for.

any other limitations you want us to get rid of?

just shipped: Google Maps icons, project search, AI error fixing, and undo/redo history

hey r/flutterflow,

it's day 4 of You Ask, We Build ship week. we've just shipped four features, pulled straight from your submissions.

  • Google Maps: custom data types and per-location icons: marker type now accepts custom data types from your own schema, set a different icon per location bound to a dynamic path, and each pin shows the place it represents instead of every pin looking the same.
  • project-wide search: search across every element in your project (pages, components, component parameters, colors, functions). results group by element and expand to show each usage. toggle element types to narrow results.
  • fix with AI: when Test Mode throws a runtime error, a Fix with AI button hands the error to the agent panel. add context or send as is (desktop app only).
  • undo/redo with history: toolbar buttons + a readable list of previous states with text descriptions. when you can't remember what a change was, read the history and click back to that exact state (Cmd+Z and Shift+Cmd+Z still work too).

tomorrow: something else you asked for which of these you'll actually use most (or what are you still waiting on)?

scroll to index, on scroll direction changed, start at end, and scroll physics now native in FlutterFlow's ListView

hey r/flutterflow,

day 2 of ship week. this one came almost verbatim off your submissions: "jump to a specific item/index." "on scroll triggers exposing offset and direction." "more triggers for ListView."

scroll to index: pick a ListView and an index, choose animate or jump. zero indexed, so 0 is the top. animated moves take a duration.

on scroll end: fires when the list reaches the bottom. use it to load the next batch of posts and keep queries small.

on scroll start: fires when the list reaches the top. use it to animate a collapsible header back into view.

on scroll direction changed: fires when the user reverses direction. exposes toward start or toward end so you can branch on it.

scroll physics: controls how the list feels when you drag and release, or whether it scrolls at all.

start at end: opens already scrolled to the bottom. item order doesn't change. use it for logs, transaction history, activity feeds.

scroll offset and max scroll extent: two new readable properties. how far you've scrolled from the beginning and the maximum the list can scroll.

tomorrow: something else you asked for.

you asked for better Supabase. four things shipped this morning.

hey r/flutterflow,

ship week of You Ask, We Build is here. we're shipping at least one thing per day this week (all requested by this community) <3

today's theme: Supabase!

infinite scroll: enable at the bottom of any Supabase query, set a page size. the query returns 25 rows on load, then the next 25 when the user reaches the bottom.

full-text search: a Search (Full-Text) filter backed by Postgres full-text search. "roasting garlic" still matches "roasted."

RPC calls: call Postgres database functions directly from an action flow. signatures sync from your Supabase project so parameters are listed for you and results come back typed and bindable.

upsert: inserts a row, or updates the existing one when the primary key matches. replaces the read-then-branch-then-write flow you used to build by hand.

tomorrow: something else you asked for.

Cursor inside FlutterFlow can now screenshot the Builder canvas (no more describing your UI!)

if you're using Cursor with FlutterFlow MCP, this one's for you.

the FlutterFlow Agent can now screenshot the Builder canvas directly. Cursor sees your pages and components before it builds or edits anything. no more typing descriptions of a UI it can't see. :)

no more describing your UI! agents in FF can now screenshot the builder canvas

hey r/flutterflow,

the FlutterFlow Agent can now screenshot the Builder canvas directly to get visual context on your pages and components before it builds or edits anything.

works with Claude Code and Codex. no local run required.

happy to answer questions in the comments.

you ask, we build: submit the FlutterFlow feature you've been waiting for

hey r/flutterflow,

we're doing something called You Ask, We Build.

the idea: you tell us the features you've been wanting forever. we pick the most-requested ones that fit our build scope, ship them in a single week, and announce at least one per day.

our goal: make FlutterFlow better to use every day.

submissions open now: https://flutterflow.io/you-ask-we-build

two weeks to submit. then we ship.

anyone else end up with 20+ terminal tabs after adopting Claude Code?

our team often built with 20+ terminal tabs open each. so it was practically a nightmare trying to find the right context, especially since we're a remote team. and we definitely didn't want to schedule another meeting or do another "can you see my screen?" moment.

so we built Campus.

Campus gives every project its own persistent workspace. instead of jumping between apps, everything lives together on one canvas: terminals, browsers, documents, designs, files, AI agents, and your teammates. when you come back tomorrow or someone new joins, the context is already there.

our whole team builds in Campus every day now, and my favorite part is being able to drop GIF reactions and memes into the canvas mid-build :)

it's in alpha and we launched on Product Hunt today. https://www.producthunt.com/products/flutterflow?launch=campus-4

happy to answer any questions!

Campus is live! (anyone else end up with 20+ terminal tabs after adopting Claude Code?)

hey builders!

Campus is live on Product Hunt today and i wanted to share it here first.

if you've ever had 20+ terminal tabs open, spent the first hour of your day rebuilding context, or wished you didn't have to explain everything that went down yesterday to someone on your team, this is what we built for that.

Campus is a macOS workspace where your project, agents, and teammates share the same persistent canvas between sessions. terminals keep running, agents don't forget, and the context is still there when you come back.

favorite part of using it every day: dropping GIF reactions and memes into the canvas mid-build :)

it's in alpha and we want your feedback. tell us what's working, what isn't, what's missing. we're listening.

FlutterFlow 7.0 is here: MCP support, Test Pilot AI QA, Supabase Edge Functions, and more!

hey, lydia from the FlutterFlow team here!

we unveiled 7.0 at FFDC last week. it's built around two ideas: build faster, build better.

250 million+ users are already running on apps built with FlutterFlow >>>

build faster:

  • MCP support: bring your own agent into FlutterFlow to navigate, debug, screenshot, and control your app live.
  • Test Pilot: AI-powered QA that turns plain-English intent into automated test coverage, with screenshots at every step.

build better:

  • Supabase Edge Functions: write and deploy server-side logic without leaving FlutterFlow.
  • Test Mode upgrades: inspect elements, test on real devices, no more 30-minute limit.
  • Smarter AI Agents: speech-to-text, translation, audio output, deployable inside FlutterFlow.
  • Project organization: custom code as a first-class citizen, with feature folders and drag-and-drop.

can't wait to see what y'all build :)

Flutter SF x FFDC: free community mixer may 28th!

hey, lydia from the FlutterFlow team!

Flutter SF is hosting a free community mixer next week on may 28th in San Francisco, and i think it's genuinely worth knowing about if you're in the area!

i'm really excited to see Flutter engineers and FlutterFlow builders in the same room. these two communities build on the same foundation and rarely end up in the same place. this is that place.

it's free to attend, so if you're in SF that week or know someone who is, it's worth sharing.
