Celest – Flutter Cloud Platform
Hi HN! I’m Dillon, the founder of Celest (https://celest.dev). Celest is a backend-as-a-service that lets you build full-stack Flutter and Dart apps without leaving your IDE. There’s a short demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evs1f0zHpzk At AWS, I built the Amplify Flutter framework and saw the extraordinary power (and complexity) the modern cloud presents. I wore many hats in that role, but the hat I most disliked was devops. I just wanted to write my business logic and have it work. As a Flutter developer, I love writing Dart, and I want to use it…

In plain words
Celest is a backend-as-a-service platform that enables developers to build full-stack Flutter and Dart applications entirely within their IDE using only Dart code. It eliminates the need for DevOps tools like Docker and Terraform by automating infrastructure management. The platform is designed for Flutter developers who want to use Dart for both frontend and backend development without managing cloud complexity directly.

Celest gives organizations one place to understand and operate AI agents across Microsoft. Start with a read-only Agent Estate Review.
Your agents already live across Copilot Studio, Microsoft 365, Entra, Power Platform, Azure, GitHub, and Azure DevOps. Celest shows you what exists, who owns it, and where the seams are—then turns that evidence into an operating plan. Start with Estate Review. Day One is the public proof: one assignment becomes three teammates and a reviewed artifact. A one-page briefing with evidence, a clear point of view, and a meeting agenda. Start with a read-only Agent Estate Review if you already run agents across Microsoft. Day One shows the same operating discipline on one public assignment. In two weeks, Celest joins the records scattered across your Microsoft estate into a source-backed…from celest.dev

Shorebird 1.0, Flutter Code Push2024 · github.com · ▲153Hey HN. Eric Seidel here (former lead of Flutter & Dart at Google, prev. YC S06). I founded Flutter and led the team for almost a decade. One of the constant questions we got was would we support code push like the web/react native: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/14330 I left Google about a year ago and set out to build a company around Flutter and decided to start with code push. It took us a year to build. We had to build a new toolchain for Dart and a custom interpreter (for store compliance). But it works! Our beta has already been used by…

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
