Hi @Fritz_S,

do you have any insights on how much Surface Duo devices are using your app? 

[#6]

@tscholze  Tobias, 

The "uptake" for the Nursing apps has been greater than the EMR app.  

However, unable to run/test on an "actual" device, my level of confidence is lower than normal that the experience on a Surface Duo is optimal. 

I've put considerable dev effort on the Surface Duo platform, but not seeing sustained support post launch. 

This experience has been unlike my previous experience with the MS Team and the Tablet PC ecosystem. 

My confidence and optimism are not on an upward trajectory.

Abstract

It is not a full app, it is rather a tiny sample application that showcases how you could retrieve the Surface Duo hinge angle using Flutter. I used the DevBlogs getting started article as entry point. I also released a video which tells some problems I stept into.

Please have a look at the GitHub repository to see the full source code.

Abstract

Read your RSS feed like it would be an ebook - A sample Android app written in Google's Flutter that demonstrates the unique features of a Surface Duo.

It is not a full app, it is rather another sample application that uses Flutter. I also released a video which shows the app and its different layouts in single or dual screen mode.

You can have a look at the app's source at its GitHub repository.
