Hello, I'm from the Flutter desktop team. Thank you for the excellent feedback, this is truly invaluable.
Here are some updates from our side:
1. Custom context menus - We just added this feature in Flutter 3.7, which was released two weeks ago. Please give this a try and let us know what you think!
2. Multi-window - This is a high priority for the Flutter team, we have several engineers working on this project currently. Here's a video that gives an early preview on multi-window support: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtB-teu57vw
Feel free to let us know if you have additional feedback; this helps us prioritize on what's most valuable for our community!
First of all: Thank you for your outstanding work!
And sorry to ask this here, but how have the recent layoffs affected the flutter team?
We're using flutter as our main framework for our app and it's quite important.
The layoffs have sparked some fears that flutter development might slow down.
Google's Flutter team was affected by layoffs and we lost some wonderful folks. However, the number of Googlers working directly on Flutter has grown substantially in the last year.
Please keep in mind that Flutter is a community project. Google is one of Flutter's many sponsors, many of our contributors are from other companies.
Is Flutter open source?
