Bhante, I forked your code. I know a little bit about flutter now. Enough to play around and also db experience. I am making my very first app (see my buddhist_sun repo) . It did not need sqlite, but I wanted to see if it could be done for a tipitaka reader.. I had this vision for a while to have TPP (Tipitaka Pali Projector) to get rewritten in flutter with a sqlite db and called UPR (ultimate pali reader). Now I see you already have such a project. wow.. can save so much time. We share the same vision. You are a really good programmer. Flutter works well with linux, win and mac desktops now.. and you can work sqlite with sqflite_ffi_common. I use it in my buddhist_sun app already. (gps will crash the linux app until i block it).

I'm already familiar with several of the objects you import with pub.dev .. flutter is an amazing framework.

Much has changed with flutter in the past 6 months which makes learning quite difficult, because nothing compiles or works that is available in the vast amounts of docs and tutorials out there. However, I'm getting used to it now.

Upgrading to null safety will be a learning and difficult experience at my level. Do you think you could do that null-safety thing and run with the latest stable dart and flutter sdk's.?
