Eye Blinding white screen issue on Distriator which was fixed

Hello Hive Community 👋

Yesterday, I shared a fun post about a bug we encountered on CheckInWith.XYZ. Today, I’d like to share another strange issue we faced — this time affecting both CheckInWith.XYZ and Distriator.

Spoiler alert: it involves a painfully bright white screen.

🧨 The Bright White Screen Bug

This issue is rooted in the tech stack we use. Both apps are built with Flutter — a great choice for seamless migration from web to mobile. It ensures consistency and allows us to deliver app-store-ready experiences without rewriting everything.

However, Flutter renders everything using a canvas element on the web, which can sometimes behave unexpectedly in certain environments — such as in-app browsers.

Recently, the Keychain app introduced some improvements to their in-app browser experience. Unfortunately, we didn’t catch these changes during their beta testing phase — by the time we realized, it was already live.

Soon after, a few users began reporting the dreaded white screen — including none other than @starkerz!

🔧 The Fix (And Huge Thanks!)

We immediately flagged the issue to @stoodkev and the Keychain team via their Discord server. And to their credit — they absolutely delivered. 💪

The team pushed out multiple beta releases one after another, working closely with us to narrow down the root cause.

After several iterations, we landed on a fix that worked — and it was quickly released on the App Store. Huge shoutout to @stoodkev and everyone at Keychain for their speed and support. 🙌

📝 Final Note

Since English isn’t my first language, I asked ChatGPT/AI to help optimize this post to make it more readable and viewer-friendly.

I hope this isn’t against any downvoting rules 🙏
But if it is, feel free to let me know and I’ll be more cautious next time.
