Turn down Flutter Gallery
Description
The Flutter Gallery has been a useful resource and demo of numerous Flutter features for the past 4 years. However, it requires non-trivial maintenance and a significant amount of work (e.g. migration to Material 3), which together constitute more work than can be done by the team, given constraints.
Additionally, high-quality, maintained alternatives have been introduced (e.g. Material 3 sample, Wonderous). Therefore, this issue tracks the turning down of the Flutter Gallery.
Follows, an initial list (please edit) of things to do:
- [x] Close or merge existing PRs

- [x] Turn down Google-internal translation project
- [x] Remove blocking which depend on the gallery
- [x] Unpublish from Play Store

- [x] Redirect https://gallery.flutter.dev to https://docs.flutter.dev/gallery (#1073)
- [x] Update repo description and link
- [x] Build and publish final web version at https://flutter-gallery-archive.web.app/
- [x] Archive repository

For the redirect from gallery.flutter.dev, thoughts on redirecting to this repo's README?
Wherever the redirect goes, I'd prefer to redirect it to another redirect hosted on docs.flutter.dev (https://github.com/flutter/website/blob/main/firebase.json) that way we can easily adjust it there in the future.
Perhaps docs.flutter.dev/gallery to the README for now. Then we can find a better destination in the future.
Edit: https://docs.flutter.dev/gallery now redirects to this repository's README. Please consider redirecting to that link instead :)
