#isthisatrend #orjustvibes Google's Play Store started opening up to rival app stores in the US on Wednesday, under a court order stemming from the case Google lost to Epic Games before a San Francisco jury. Then, on Thursday, the European Commission fined Google about $1 billion, partly over the same conduct. "Google lost. And I think that perception will affect juries going forward." - Tejas N.

It's exciting to see the KQED app featured as a Flutter Dev Showcase! This showcase reflects what can happen when a mission-driven organization and great partners come together. Working alongside the talented teams at KQED and Uptech Studio, we've built a platform that helps people discover trusted local journalism, live radio, podcasts, video, and community stories—all in one place. For me, one of the biggest takeaways from this project is that modernizing an app isn't just about adopting new technology. It's about creating a strong foundation that enables teams to deliver value to users faster, iterate more quickly, and continue experimenting with new ways to connect audiences with trusted public media.

Meet Amos Goldbaum, a San Francisco muralist and artist known for his distinct line work. His work features detailed cityscapes of San Francisco and can be found in restaurants, parks and walls across the city. For our June pledge drive, we partnered with Amos to create a design that reflects the ways in which KQED connects the Bay Area. His final piece incorporates KQED radio into a classic Victorian house while combining other elements such as plants native to California and recognizable Bay Area landmarks. Grab this design on a limited-edition tote bag or t-shirt at donate.kqed.org/radiodrive.
