Discussion: Support for Flutter apps #2994

It would be great if Flipper could support Flutter apps also. Currently I came across the package flutter_flipperkit which helps in connecting a flutter app with Flipper but it doesn't have all the plugins which Flipper offers. It would be a huge help if Flipper itself gave support for Flutter so that we can make full use of what Flipper offers.

@Nirajn2311 Flipper is a small team with limited capacity. We do not have plans to support Flutter as of now officially. However, we would be thrilled if someone else creates a Flutter client for Flipper! Please, checkout our docs on how to create a new client. You can use our JS client as a reference as it is the simplest client that we have. It is worth mentioning that the JS client uses unsecured WebSockets for communication with Flipper. As Flutter client should have access to the file system, it would be better to replicate what we have for our iOS client, but, arguably, it could be more work.

P.S. I have added the label "PR welcome" for visibility, but we would encourage to create a separate repo for the Flutter client and release it separately.
