Showcase Your Widget with Flutter Widgets Explorer

Start from now, you can use Flutter Widgets Explorer as a platform to showcase your widget with README, codes and licensing information. The Flutter Widgets Explorer supports Android devices at the moment and will support Web in a week or two (Updated on 16 April 2021: The web version of the Flutter Widgets Explorer just went live @ fluwix.com). 

That's made possible by the Showcase View widget, let's me show you how it looks:

If the default Read Me, Code and License tabs are not enough for you, the Showcase View widget support additional tabs too, please see the following image:

Does it sound and look interesting? You are invited to fork the fluwix github repo, add your code and send me pull request. The key takeaways are you can showcase your code live in an Android app, Fluwix.com and embedded HTML (as iframe) in your blog post. We will take care the hassles of managing the deployment, production and marketing for you. If you're interested, please submit your idea of showcase.

Are you facing any problem with your Flutter development? Please answer the 3 questions Flutter Development Survey as we might have the solution to your problem. 

By the way, you can install the Fluwix (formerly Flutter Widgets Explorer) app to your android phone by clicking on the following image link:

Get it on Google Play
Kindly raise an issue if you have any problem running the Fluwix on your mobile or web.

I think the best way to find out how Flutter Multi-modules works is create the module and try it out yourself. If you don't have any idea, I'm looking for contributors to help on migrate the existing showcases to Flutter modules. So far 5 completed, 9 more to go. If you are interested to help, feel free to look into the module migration guide. If you're still not turn down by the long list of steps and willing to give me a hand, great! :), kindly open an issue in the Github issues and tell me which showcase you are interested to migrate (Updated on 16 April 2021: I completed all migration works myself, thanks to module_starter automated most of the manual works). 

Lastly, If you are interested to reuse the source code of the screen, please check out the showcase_view branch of the git repository hosted at https://github.com/limcheekin/fluwix. Feel free to fork the repository and send me pull request.

As usual, I'd love to hear from you. :)
