# About HireFlutterDev — A GetWidget Company Since 2017 > Source: https://hireflutterdev.com/about/ > About the HireFlutterDev team — builders of the open-source GetWidget UI kit (100,000+ apps). AI-augmented Flutter delivery, 1,000+ projects shipped from India. About HireFlutterDev # We build Flutter tools, and the apps that use them. HireFlutterDev is a [GetWidget](https://www.getwidget.dev/) company. We've been shipping Flutter apps since 2019 (the year Flutter hit 1.0) and we maintain the open-source GetWidget UI kit that's now used in 100,000+ Flutter apps worldwide. In 2023 we rebuilt our workflow around AI-augmented delivery (Claude Code, Cursor, an internal prompt library). Today our team ships standard Flutter projects 40-60% faster than non-AI teams, at competitive India-based rates. 100k+ Flutter apps using GetWidget 1000+ Flutter projects shipped 48h Dev match average $18–60/hr Junior to Lead, India [Backed by **GetWidget** ↗](https://www.getwidget.dev/) The story ## The team that wrote the Flutter UI kit other Flutter teams use. In 2019, the team that became HireFlutterDev was shipping Flutter apps for early clients and getting frustrated by the same problem repeating across projects: every Flutter app needed the same 30 UI primitives (buttons, cards, alerts, modals, navigation) built from scratch. So we open-sourced ours. [GetWidget](https://www.getwidget.dev/) shipped on pub.dev as a free, MIT-licensed Flutter UI library. The community picked it up immediately. Seven years later, it's used in 100,000+ Flutter apps, by indie developers, agencies, and Fortune 500 product teams. Maintaining that fabric gave us a privileged seat at the Flutter ecosystem table. We see how every kind of project uses Flutter, where the rough edges are, what patterns scale. That knowledge powers every engagement we ship today. **When you hire from us, you hire the team behind the tools other Flutter teams use.** 2019First Flutter project shipped 100k+Flutter apps using GetWidget 1000+Flutter projects shipped 30Flutter developers on roster The timeline ## From open-source UI kit to AI-augmented delivery. Four chapters that shaped who we are. Each one driven by a frustration with the status quo and a decision to invest in a better default — usually open-source, usually before it was obvious. 1. 01 ### 2019 GetWidget UI kit ships We open-sourced the first version of the GetWidget UI kit on pub.dev. 30+ Flutter components, MIT-licensed. Initial goal: stop rebuilding the same widgets across every Flutter project we shipped. The kit now powers 100,000+ Flutter apps worldwide. 2. 02 ### 2020-2022 Production Flutter ramp Scaled the team from 5 to 30 Flutter developers. Shipped Flutter apps across eCommerce, on-demand services, fintech, healthcare, B2B SaaS. Built the internal Flutter prompt library that's now part of our AI workflow. 3. 03 ### 2023 AI-augmented delivery Began standardizing Claude Code + Cursor as daily-default tooling for every developer. Measured 40-60% velocity gains on standard work. Built the in-house code-review checklist and prompt library that defines our current workflow. 4. 04 ### 2026 HireFlutterDev as a separate brand Spun up hireflutterdev.com to own the 'hire Flutter dev' market specifically, separate from getwidget.dev (which focuses on AI services and the open-source kit itself). Same team, same tooling, focused single-purpose brand. The moat ## What we've open-sourced for the Flutter community. Our credibility is verifiable in public, not just in proposals. Three open contributions you can audit today without signing an NDA. (Most agencies can't say that.) 📦 ### GetWidget UI kit 30+ pre-built Flutter components for buttons, cards, alerts, modals, navigation, forms, loaders. Theme-aware (light/dark), accessibility-tested. Used in 100,000+ Flutter apps. MIT-licensed. 🛍 ### Flutter Marketplace Curated marketplace of production-ready Flutter app templates — eCommerce, on-demand, social, fintech. Each template is shipped + battle-tested by our team on real client projects before being made available. 📚 ### Open-source Flutter content Tutorials, code snippets, architecture writeups, performance audits. Published continuously on the GetWidget blog and shared on GitHub. Several posts referenced by Google's official Flutter docs. How we work ## Six operating principles, written down on purpose. Vague "values" pages are useless. These are the actual decision rules we apply when something's ambiguous — pricing, scope, hiring, who-owns-what. Hold us to them. 🛠 ### We ship like it's ours Every developer treats client codebases as their primary employer's. No relay-style 'we'll get back to you' delays. Direct Slack access, your project board, daily standups. The line between 'contractor' and 'in-house' is a contract clause, not a service tier. 🔍 ### Transparency over comfort Real rates published on the website. Real hours-to-ship numbers (with sample sizes). Real replacement policy with edge cases written out. We'd rather lose a deal to a more honest competitor than win one with vague language we'd have to back-walk later. ⚡ ### AI is the default, not a bolt-on Claude Code + Cursor + GetWidget UI kit + internal prompt library are baked into every developer's daily workflow. Not 'we sometimes use AI tools'. AI is the operational standard. If a competitor matches us on rate without matching us on workflow, they ship slower at the same cost. 🌍 ### Open source as proof GetWidget UI kit is MIT-licensed, used in 100,000+ Flutter apps. Anyone can audit our code, read our patterns, contribute back. You can verify our Flutter chops without an NDA. Just open the GitHub repo. Few agencies offer this level of pre-sale visibility. 🧑‍💻 ### Senior judgment, AI velocity AI handles the 70% that's pattern-matching (scaffolding, refactoring, test generation, format conversions). Senior developers own the 30% that's architecture, hard debugging, and edge cases. We never let AI ship without a human review pass, and we never use humans for work AI does better. 💬 ### Async-first, sync where it matters Daily standups are written. Demos are recorded. Most coordination is async, which respects your team's deep-work blocks. Sync time is reserved for genuinely high-bandwidth conversations (architecture decisions, post-launch retros, kickoffs). Saves everyone's calendar. Named systems ## The two systems behind every engagement. We named the two pieces of our process that we ship against every week. Both are quantified, both have evidence on the pillar pages. ### HireFlutterDev FastMatch HireFlutterDev FastMatch is our 48-hour Flutter developer match: NDA to live intro in 48 hours, full pod in 2 weeks, backed by a 30-day replacement guarantee. ### HireFlutterDev FlutterStack HireFlutterDev FlutterStack is our AI-augmented Flutter delivery system: Claude Code, Cursor, and the GetWidget UI kit layered on senior engineers.
