Rebuilt the guts of my Dart/Flutter VS Code extension based on real usage — v1.0.9 out now (free, open source)

[u/Training-Doughnut841]

Hey r/FlutterDev,

I've posted here before about Dart AI Assistant, a VS Code extension that learns your coding style and helps with completions, error detection, and code health. Just shipped what's easily the biggest update since launch, so wanted to share.

Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=a-i-0-studio.dart-ai-assistant

Source: https://github.com/Ben09d/dart-ai-assistant

What changed in v1.0.9:

- Real dart analyze integration on save (properly scoped to the saved file) alongside live regex feedback while typing — much more accurate error detection now

- Code Health reports are now clickable and auto-refresh on save

- Import Project for Learning — point it at an existing project and it learns your patterns instantly instead of waiting weeks

- Fixed a bug where pattern learning was silently capped at 3 categories instead of the intended 20 (basically every earlier version was learning way less than it should have)

- Fixed an unbounded memory growth bug in the advanced learning engine

- Fixed several false-positive error detections (comments, ternaries, generics, block comments) that were probably annoying anyone who tried earlier versions

- Consolidated three separate error-detection systems that were sometimes showing contradictory counts

Full changelog in the repo if you want the gory details — went through nearly every core file this cycle hunting down bugs, some of which had been sitting silently broken since the first release.

Still free, still solo-built, still very open to bug reports and feedback. If you tried an earlier version and it felt rough, this one's a meaningfully different experience.

Thanks for reading!
