Hi all, project creator and maintainer @Sub6Resources here.
I'm deeply sorry that the package has been left unmaintained for so long (for an explanation, see #1396).
flutter_html(according to pub.dev) still consistently has over 100,000 weekly downloads. That's a lot for something that hasn't been maintained in nearly 2 years! My time, unfortunately, is still quite limited -- I'm still a broke college student with a family to support. However, thanks to a few one-time donations, I can justify taking a few hours off my regular job to work on this project throughout this month.My last commit was in June of 2023, and both Flutter and Dart have gone through quite a few changes since then. As such, this month I'll be entirely playing catch-up and clean-up. Here are my March 2025 priorities (in roughly the order I hope to tackle them):
flutter_htmlcompatible with the latest Flutter and dependency versions.Just a warning, the
masterbranch may get a bit messy from time-to-time this month as I make updates to the existing code. Since themasterbranch is already broken on the latest Flutter version, I don't foresee this being an issue.It's likely the initial 3.0.0 release will still have some bugs. I feel justified in releasing it anyways since it is still a major improvement over the 2.2.1 version (which doesn't even compile on any recent Flutter version). You can still use the old versions if you experience any issues, and there are also plenty of forks that will be unaffected.
Thank you again to those who have donated! While I'm able to commit some time this month to
flutter_htmlthanks to their support, future maintenance is still uncertain without any funding to justify my time. If you'd like to help, consider making a recurring or one-time donation from yourself or your company. This project will always be MIT-licensed and free to use.Beta Was this translation helpful?
