Dear Flutternauts, We’ll start our meetup year with an amazing speaker lineup and an awesome new location! Be sure to RSVP to save yourself a spot and some slices of pizza ;) ***+++++++++++++++ AGENDA +++++++++++++++*** **18:30:** Introduction and welcome **19:00: When building tools becomes cheaper than buying** **by [Damian Bast](https://www.linkedin.com/in/damianbast/)** Lessons learned building a Flutter Desktop App to get rid of another SAAS subscription. I was using a SAAS to track my LinkedIn post performance and just recently realized that they downgraded me to a plan without raw access to my data. Using less tokens than the monthly price of the SAAS I rebuilt it at home. **19:40:** **Food, Drinks and Socializing Break** **20:10: Flipping the Testing Pyramid - Rethinking your testing strategy** **by [Pascal Welsch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-welsch-679a2b80/)** When the testing pyramid was introduced in 2009, Software engineering was dominated by large enterprise backend systems. Flutter apps don’t fit into that picture. We’re not scared of complex Animations which can be tested reliably with headless UI tests. In this talk, Pascal shows how to flip the testing pyramid and make widget tests the backbone of your testing strategy. You’ll learn how to test your entire app with runApp, structure tests using the Robot pattern, and debug failures visually with the Spot Timeline. The result is a simpler, more robust test setup that survives refactors and reflects how real users interact with your app. **21:00: Meeting fellow Flutternauts**, last bits of food, a drink, friendly or heated discussions (about get, riverpod and bloc ;) ) in a cozy atmosphere. **21:45 - 22:00: Wrapping up**, last drinks We are looking forward to meeting you there! **\*\*LOCATION\*\*** WienIT Base Thomas-Klestil-Platz 13, 1030 Wien U3 Erdberg **\*\*THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR WienIT \*\*** **\*\*WANT TO DO A TALK?\*\*** We are always looking for (short and long) talks!

**[BUCH DEINEN PLATZ IM KELLER HIER!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/comedy-im-keller-wiens-underground-stand-up-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-30RBKX?ref=MeetUp)** **Deutschsprachiges Comedy Open Mic in Wiens schönstem Keller. Neue Comedians, frische Jokes, freier Eintritt – jeden Dienstag im Comedy Pub.** Willkommen zu **Comedy im Keller**, dem dienstäglichen Highlight der Wiener Comedy-Szene! Hier trifft sich jede Woche ein wilder Mix aus aufstrebenden Newcomern und erfahrenen Stand-up-Comedians, um neue Gags auszuprobieren, mutige Ideen zu testen und das Publikum im historischen Keller vom *The Comedy Pub* zum Lachen zu bringen. Der Name ist Programm: In Wien geht man zum Lachen in den Keller – und bei uns stimmt das zu 100%. Unser wunderschöner Altbaukeller bietet ein echtes **Underground-Feeling** mit einer intimen Atmosphäre, die dir das Gefühl gibt, Teil von etwas Besonderem zu sein. ## Was ist ein Open Mic? Ein Open Mic ist die Werkstatt der Stand-up-Comedy. Hier entstehen neue Bits, werden Witze gefeilt und spontane Momente geboren. Mal landet ein Joke punktgenau, mal scheitert er glorreich – aber genau das macht den Reiz aus. Das Publikum erlebt Comedy **ungeschönt, unzensiert und hautnah**. ## The Comedy Pub – Pub oben, Lacher unten Der **Comedy Pub** ist einzigartig in Wien: oben Irish Pub mit kalten Drinks und lebendiger Atmosphäre, unten Altbaukeller mit Comedy-Club-Flair. Eine perfekte Kombination, um nach der Arbeit in die Woche zu starten: erst ein Bier an der Bar, dann ein Abend voller Lacher im Keller. Adresse: Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien – direkt bei der U4-Station Kettenbrückengasse. ## Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen Comedy lebt vom Publikum. Deine Reaktionen – Lachen, Klatschen oder auch mal Schweigen – helfen den Comedians, besser zu werden. Deshalb ist der Eintritt kostenlos, aber Spenden sind ausdrücklich erwünscht. Wenn du lachst, wirf ein paar Münzen in den Hut – das ist die ehrlichste Form von Applaus. ## ️ Regeln für das Publikum Damit alle eine gute Zeit haben, bitten wir dich um ein paar einfache Dinge: * Sei pünktlich – Comedy wartet nicht. * Respektiere die Bühne – keine Gespräche während der Show. * Lachen ist Pflicht! (und zwar laut ) * Kein Heckling – wirklich, das endet nie gut. * Spenden sind Liebe. Zeig den Comedians, dass sie dich zum Lachen gebracht haben. ## Warum Dienstag? Weil die Woche besser startet, wenn du lachst. **Comedy im Keller** ist der perfekte Anti-Dienstags-Blues: frisch, roh, nahbar und immer überraschend. Jeder Abend hat ein neues Line-up, also lohnt es sich, immer wiederzukommen. #ComedyImKeller #ComedyWien #StandupWien #OpenMicWien #DeutschComedy #WienLacht #ComedyNightWien #ComedyClubWien #StandupComedyWien #LachenInWien #ComediansWien #LiveComedyWien #ComedyFansWien #ComedySzeneWien #KellerComedy #ComedyShowWien #WienEvents #WienNightlife #ComedyLovers #WienOpenMic #GermanComedy #ComedyVienna #ViennaComedy #StandupVienna #ViennaEvents #ViennaNightlife #ViennaOpenMic #ViennaStandup #ViennaFun #ViennaUnderground #ComedyLifeWien #WienHumor #StandupSceneWien #LaughsInVienna #ComedySpotWien #FunnyInWien #AltbaukellerComedy #ViennaLaughs #DienstagWien #UndergroundComedy

So hast du andere Leute in Wien wahrscheinlich noch nie kennengelernt! Bis zu 10 Singles, die sich zuvor nicht kennen, treffen sich in einer Bar und lernen sich bei einem eigens für diese Veranstaltungsreihe entwickelten Spiel näher kennen. Das Spiel kombiniert eine gelungene Mischung aus Fragen, Aktionsaufgaben und lustiger Unterhaltung, die alleine oder als Team gemeistert werden. Durch verschiedene Aufgaben und Fragen kommen die Spieler in direkte Interaktion miteinander und lernen sich im Spielverlauf näher kennen. Im Vergleich zur klassischen Single Party lernst du bei Socialmatch wirklich nur Singles in deiner Altersgruppe kennen und kommst von ganz alleine ins Gespräch mit den anderen Teilnehmern. Ein Spielmoderator vor Ort informiert über den Ablauf und leitet durch den Abend. Sicher dir jetzt deinen Platz beim nächsten Event unter [[www.socialmatch.de](http://www.socialmatch.de/)] und lerne neue Leute in deiner Stadt kennen. Dieses Event ist für die Altersgruppe 30 - 45 Jahre. P.S.

Stream Oriented Programming (SOP, SP) is a programming and architectural paradigm for today's ever-growing web, desktop, server and cloud development needs. Various implementations of Futures, Streams, Observables and Signals have been present in web development for years, but their use often failed to match even the least ambitious expectations and it's not for the reasons you think. Reactive Streams in SOP are a fundamental building block, not just another async pattern thrown into the mix. They can help you eliminate entire categories of bugs, reduce your code size by up to 90%, reduce your LLM token usage, deliver smaller bundles and ultimately more reliable and robust applications. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **️Want to give a Talk?** ▶️ [https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk](https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk) **Location:** Eversports GmbH Jakov-Lind-Straße 13, 5th Floor 1020 Vienna, Austria **Sponsors:** Eversports Eversports is a Vienna-based company founded in 2013 with the mission to "Make Sports Happen."

This is a group for meeting new people, eating brunch, and having discussions about science, life, philosophy, politics, and people. Anybody is free to join, and we charge no fees. This discussion group aims to have the absolute minimal level of structure necessary to ensure the conversation remains engaging to the majority of people present. In particular, we \*don't\* have fixed order of speaking or timed statements. So far, the balance we've struck is enforcing hand raising when conversation gets intense in order to minimize interruption, and to give the chair (me!) the power to occasionally call a snap election on the conversation topic.

We're trying something new. Maybe it will become a more regular thing. February's meetup will be at WerkzeugH with a new concept where we are reserving a section and will have talks supported by streaming audio to your headphones. The AI generated photo tells part of the story. It'll be fun. WerkzeugH is great. We're looking for talks. In the worst case scenario, I will give a version of the Observability talk I just gave at a Ruby conference. So please volunteer a talk so I have less work :) BRING YOUR HEADPHONES, you may need them and mine are gross and you won't want to borrow them. See you soon!

At our next UX Vienna Club, we want to take a closer look at how the constant stream of new AI tools and practices are changing the field of User Experience Design.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
