Inspiration
- I love building stuff which builds other stuff lately. I've seen other community folks from flutter community, building tools for the Dart & Flutter. So this tool is built for community by community.
What it does
It helps in easily sharing Dartpad snippets without any hassles.
Dartpad Generator can be accessed via Mobile app, CommandLine App or VSCode Extension.
Underneath the hood, it makes a POST HTTP call to gist API to generate sharable DartPad link and does the heavy lifting for you.
Built for Developers by Developers
How I built it
We brainstorm for an hour to figure out what to build. We were pretty much sure about going with 'Developer Tools' track.
We found a problem in the existing solution and proposed 3 different solutions for the problem. (CLI, Mobile, VSCode)
Challenges I ran into
Making POST API call to gist API took a lot of our time.
Building VSCode extension was a bit challenging since I don't know typescript. But it's a great language & felt familiar, cause I know dart lang.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Learned TypeScript for the first time to build VSCode extension.
Things went according to the plan and we were able to build all the tools in given timeline.
What I learned
Learned TypeScript for the first time to build VSCode extension.
Effectively dividing the task among teammates.
