I built my first Flutter package: flutter_timer_button — a timed/progress button with an animated fill indicator

Hey ,

Just published my first package on pub.dev and wanted to share: **flutter_timer_button**.

Most "disable button + countdown" widgets just gray the button out and show a number. This one also animates a fill indicator across the button so you can *see* the progress or time elapsed, not just read it — useful for OTP resend cooldowns, rate-limited actions, or sync/upload/download progress.

Highlights:
- `TimerButton.countdown(...)` — classic OTP-resend pattern, disables + shows "Resend in Ns" until it completes
- `TimerButton.progress(...)` — drive it manually via `TimerButtonController.setProgress()` from any async callback (network, stream, isolate)
- `TimerButtonStyle.filled/outlined/dark` presets, or fully custom via `copyWith`
- Custom label builders, leading/trailing icons, configurable behavior flags (autoStart, disableWhileRunning, etc.)

pub.dev: https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_timer_button
GitHub: https://github.com/BilalFali/flutter_timer_button

It's a 0.1.1 release, so feedback/issues/PRs very welcome — especially on the API shape, since it's easier to fix now than after wider adoption.

VS Code vs Google Antigravity in 2026 🔥 Which One Are Flutter Devs Choosing?

As a Flutter developer, I'm curious how everyone feels about the new AI-powered development workflows.

For years, VS Code has been the default choice thanks to its massive extension ecosystem, Flutter/Dart support, debugging tools, and overall stability.

Now we have Google Antigravity, which seems to take a different approach by focusing on AI agents that can understand large codebases, plan tasks, and implement features more autonomously.

From what I've seen:

VS Code

  • ✅ Mature Flutter ecosystem
  • ✅ Excellent debugging & DevTools integration
  • ✅ Huge extension marketplace
  • ✅ Works well with AI assistants like Copilot, Gemini, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.

Google Antigravity

  • ✅ AI-first workflow
  • ✅ Autonomous coding agents
  • ✅ Better at large refactors and multi-file changes
  • ✅ Interesting direction for future software development

I'm not asking which is "better" overall—I'm more interested in real-world Flutter development.

What problem would you pay $10/month to solve?

I'm looking for Micro SaaS ideas based on real problems, not AI trends.

What's a repetitive task, frustration, or workflow you deal with that you'd happily pay around $10/month to solve?

Interested in hearing from developers, freelancers, teachers, business owners, and anyone else with a pain point worth fixing.
