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.

  • Runtime theming eliminates App Store resubmissions for design-only changes
  • Dashboard-managed tokens sync to apps in ~2 seconds via Server-Sent Events
  • Open-source tool with team collaboration, version history, and zero deployment overhead
