Flutter looks amazing!

I was looking for some new dev challenges and wanted to mess with some mobile app development that is outside of the React Native / Ionic / js world.

Gave Flutter a serious look, loved it, but ultimately decided to just skip and mess with Swift and Apple's tools - so no Android stuff for me for now. I just don't trust it to be around long enough to be an investment for me.

I know I'm just 1 developer working on a crappy hobby app for fun, but Google's quick lifecycle of products has real impact. But then on the other hand I love Firebase. Just wanted to share.

Oof. I wonder what this means for Whole Foods culture and employees.

If you don't know, John Mackey, the CEO / founder, is a major believer in conscious capitalism and of empowering his employees.

Whole Food employees get paid pretty darn well with some crazy good benefits for their industry and line-of-work (UNION FREE most of the time too!).

WF banks on them being true believers and motivators of the cause - including dedicating a fair amount of paid time to trainings. I've heard mix stories about how Amazon treats employees. I wonder how that will mesh.

So I guess I'm asking:

* What is going to happen with employee culture?

* What is going to happen with all the "Fair Trade" deals WF has in place that might not be the most economical decision now?

* Here comes store automation and hefty lay-offs?

This is really well done and polished. Great stuff. About a year ago when I was bored, I made a quick and dirty codepen [1] of the exact same thing you have here. I added a transition to it so you can type to switch the letters.

I also made it so you can type with pure CSS letters [2]. It's nothing great like what you've done, but I'd thought I would share anyways.
