I built a remote skin engine for Flutter
Short summary
A developer built flutter_skin, a runtime theming engine for Flutter apps that eliminates compile-time limitations requiring App Store resubmissions for color changes. The system uses dashboard-managed theme tokens delivered to connected apps via Server-Sent Events in ~2 seconds, supporting Material ColorScheme with live publishing and zero redeployment. Currently in alpha with open-source package available on pub.dev.
