Has anyone ever made a Mac/Windows app with flutter? Throughout the years I’ve only stuck with web iOS and Android. Was just curious. And how did it pan out?

Look gonna be honest here, I have built an analytics tool, but not gonna name it, just want to know what others are using. I used to use Firebase, but it was too heavy and had issues with alternatives.

I am a prime member, use Amazon pay for major payments and utility bills. Uptill now amazon did not charged the market place fee when I paid via Amazon pay, but it has started now. Should I switch to flipkart? Are there any alternatives? Haven't used anything else in years.

Hey folks, While running our form platform (VerifID Forms), we ran into a specific analytics bottleneck. Because we handle encrypted form submissions and data collection, we needed simple product analytics and conversion funnel tracking. However, our requirement list turned into a total dead end:

1. Zero-Cookie / No Consent Banner: We couldn't put intrusive cookie banners on forms just to track submission drop-off rates and completion funnels.
2. Webhook & Alert Hooks: We needed custom event triggers that could instantly fire webhooks (to send alerts over Email/WhatsApp when form drop-offs or SLAs hit thresholds).
3. The 18% Reverse Charge GST / USD Pricing Pain: Almost every privacy-first analytics tool (Plausible, Fathom, PostHog) charges in USD ($29–$49/mo). Selling or operating out of India means dealing with international credit card processing and an extra 18% GST (Reverse Charge Mechanism) overhead on foreign SaaS imports for basic event tracking.

We searched around for existing tools that checked all four boxes—zero-cookie, webhooks, conversion funnels, and local INR billing—and couldn't find a single lightweight option that fit. So we ended up building our own edge-native tracking stack: Mitr Analytics. How We Handled the Technical & Billing Constraints

• Stateless Hash Generation: To bypass cookie consent entirely, our edge functions generate daily-rotating hashes: SHA-256(IP + User Agent + Daily Salt). The salt is wiped at midnight UTC, so same-day funnels work without persistent tracking or cross-site profiling.
• Webhook Event Engine: Custom event triggers expose real-time webhooks, making it easy to bridge analytics directly into support/SLA workflows.
• Local INR Pricing (No 18% Foreign GST Overhead): We set up a free 10k monthly event tier, followed by localized pricing starting at ₹299/month (with proper GST invoicing so Indian businesses can claim ITC instead of paying unclaimable foreign import taxes).

Questions for Founders & Devs Here:

1. How do you currently handle foreign SaaS subscriptions vs local vendors to optimize your GST / tax overhead?
2. For those building MVPs in India, what integrations (Webhooks, WhatsApp, Slack) are essential for you on day 1 of tracking user funnels?
