A Small Initiative to Keep GetX Alive and Updated – Request for Feedback

Hey @jonataslaw,

First of all, I want to say a big thank you for this amazing package. GetX has been a true gateway for me (and many others) to understand Flutter more deeply and build real-world apps. It’s simple, powerful, and one of the most developer-friendly tools out there.

Lately, I’ve seen many messages around the community saying “GetX is dead” or “no longer maintained”, and I understand how hard it can be to maintain a popular open-source project consistently. Life changes, priorities shift — but your past and ongoing contributions still make a big difference. 🙌

Since many of my personal and client projects depend heavily on GetX, and to keep things going with the latest Dart & Flutter versions, I decided to fork the package and make a few minor adjustments. These are mostly updates to keep it compatible and clean with recent SDK changes — nothing major or off-track.

I'll admit I’m not an expert, and I don’t always have a lot of time. But I care about this package and wanted to do my part — and yes, sometimes I even ask AI for help 😉.

Why I'm Writing: I would love it if you — and any other contributors or community experts — could take a look at the forked version. Review the codebase, point out any mistakes or suggest improvements. I’d be honored to learn from your insights or maybe even collaborate to keep GetX (or its refreshed version) moving forward in the right direction.

This isn’t an attempt to “replace” anything — just a humble effort to keep the spirit alive and make sure developers relying on GetX don’t feel stuck or left behind.

Thanks again for everything you've built so far. Looking forward to any feedback you might have. ❤️

Warm regards, Aniket Refreshed

@Aniketkhote Thank you. Not often one can meet somebody who is actually doing something instead of just complaining

Thanks Aniket.

This is my attempt at just state management and dependency injection but with GetX-like simplicity and familiar api for easy and familiar patterns. Love any feedback too if this is something that is needed or wanted.

Anyone facing any issues with the current versions? I don't understand why you say something about keeping the package alive, as if it weren't functional. And I'm working on updates in the background. I'll probably separate it into packages, but that takes time, a lot of time, because I'm writing everything from scratch as if I were going to do it today. I'm implementing features that aren't in the Flutter ecosystem either, like React's Suspense, and trying to make the code 100% covered by tests. But I appreciate you caring about the future of the package. When I'm done, it would be nice to have maintainers to help me, as everything will be a little clearer.
