[$] Building a Flutter application (part 1)

In this two-part series, we will be implementing a simple RSS reader for LWN using the UI toolkit Flutter. The project recently announced version 1.20 of the toolkit on August 5. Flutter is a BSD-licensed UI development platform written in Dart that is backed by Canonical as a new way to develop desktop applications targeting Linux. Part one will cover some of the basics of the project and Flutter, with part two building on that work to focus on building a full interactive UI for the application.
