flutter_launcher

A unified launcher for installed flutter applications.

On MacOS looks in /Applications and on Linux in /opt/ for installed flutter apps that are built with dart_hh and thus contain a pubspec.yaml as embedded resource.

Installed apps not built with dart_hh or whose name does not conform to flutter_* are skipped.

List-icons are colored with an algorithm from pkg_core_flutter::ColorExtension.fromText that takes the first word before - or the whole text of the application description.
