So here’s the story. I was facing a technical debt kind of issue in my Flutter music app — my MusicPlaybackService was doing two jobs: 1. Talking to the audio engine audioservice + justaudio to play/pause/skip. 2. Acting like a ChangeNotifier to upd...

I’m a solo builder. I’m looking to connect with like-minded devs who want to explore startup ideas together — maybe even apply to Y Combinator if it feels right.Area mainly is AI Not pitching any fixed idea right now — just open chats, bouncing thou...
