Excited to share that the fac3t logo is finalized 🚀

Also started working on the iOS app in Swift.
Slowly bringing the idea to life, one step at a time.

#buildinpublic #iosdevelopment #swift

The `yaml` package in Dart handles anchors fine for reading, but preserving them on write (for the YAML→JSON→YAML round-trip) is not documented.

If anyone's dealt with `yaml_writer` anchor preservation in Dart, send me a hint.

#flutterdev #dart

Folder structure for Fac3t locked in.

Rule I'm committing to: services/ is pure Dart.

Payoffs:
- unit-testable without widget test harness
- easy to extract as an OSS core library later
- keeps me from tangling business logic into UI

Fac3t tech stack, locked:

• Flutter
• go_router
• api_state (my own state package)
• Hive for local storage
• xml + yaml packages for parsing
• Zero network dependencies

One codebase → Android + Windows + Linux. iOS and web later.

#flutterdev #buildinpublic

The name is Fac3t. Domain: fac3t.live (coming soon)

"Facet" because the product shows the same data from multiple angles — raw, tree, JSON, YAML, XML.

The '3' is a wink. Reads as "facet" out loud, looks like dev in writing.

Logo coming soon.

Why I'm building Fac3t:

Every JSON viewer I've tried either:
- chokes on files over 10MB
- uploads my data to a server I don't control
- buries the basics under schema tools, diff views, 12 codegen targets, and a paywall

I want the opposite. A small tool that does a few things well, stays on my machine, and opens big files without freezing.

Scope for v1: JSON, YAML, XML. Format conversion. Tree view. Search. Edit. That's it.

#BuildInPublic

I'm building Fac3t — a minimal, fully offline JSON/YAML/XML viewer for Android, Windows, and Linux.

No telemetry. No cloud. No "47 features in one sidebar" bloat.
Just a quiet tool for reading and converting messy data.

4 weeks to v1, building in public.

Follow along if you're into Flutter, dev tools, or watching someone ship something small on purpose.
