Flutter is beautiful. Why such a statement? It is because Flutter takes the hardships out of mobile development... for the most part.


Congratulations,@sipping, on winning first place. You have won $500.

The second place goes to:

https://hackernoon.com/how-to-upload-source-maps-to-sentry-with-nextjs?embedable=true

A little explanation: When Sentry is reacting to any error or event, it tries to get the source maps from the release archive that it has uploaded. According to the GitHub issue conversation, the framework's code does not get uploaded by default anymore and Sentry doesn’t have access to all files for resolving stack trace.


Way to go@chilledcowfan! You have won $300!


Third place and the most-read story award goes to:

https://hackernoon.com/debugging-rust-cargo-issues-in-gitlab?embedable=true

That’s a double-win, @maksimmuravev! You won $200!

Once again, congratulations to all the winners! We will be in touch with y’all shortly. In the meantime, keep calm and continue submitting your stories on #mobiledebugging. To find out more about our ongoing contests, please visit contests.hackernoon.com.
