I've got a pretty large flutter app in production, using just the flutter-provided building blocks like ValueNotifier, ListenableBuilder, InheritedWidget, etc. It has scaled quite well for me.

The main issue IMHO with many of these boilerplate-reducing packages is that they feel like one-way trips. Most of them require a change to widget inheritance, and they all have slightly different syntax and semantics for wiring things up to state changes. This means if you get a few years into a project, migrating away from the package you chose at the beginning will probably be very difficult.

So while the quick example in the readme of this package looks simple and understandable, locking in to a third-party library makes me nervous, especially if the main benefit is just fewer keystrokes. Does anyone have experience or informed opinion here that would be willing to chime in?

I believe that no matter what framework you use, you’ll encounter similar challenges. Every framework introduces its own complexity by nature — the key difference lies in whether its abstraction can reduce the complexity of building sophisticated applications to a manageable level.

To me, the strength of a framework isn’t just about reducing how much code you write — it’s about providing a way of thinking that helps developers build and maintain applications more easily.

For this project, my goal is to fully leverage the composability of Vue’s Composition API and provide automatic dependency tracking to help developers write cleaner and more reactive Flutter applications.
