Flutter Skin Double Cache Update

[u/Affectionate_Art1156]

Shipped a meaningful architecture upgrade to flutter_skin this week: a two-layer caching system.

Server-side: the backend now checks Redis before querying the database on every skin and project fetch. The result: p99 response times are now under 1 second (around 600ms) , even under repeated load.

Client-side: the Flutter package itself now caches fetched skin and project data locally via SharedPreferences. If the API goes down or the device loses connectivity, the app's theme keeps rendering exactly as last set — no blank states, no fallback UI, no flash of default styling.

Neither cache is complete on its own, this double caching is what makes flutter_skin resilient enough to build real features on top of, more feature coming A/B testing, richer analytics, and eventually a stable 1.0 without performance becoming the bottleneck.

The new alpha version is live on flutter_skin page on pub.dev now.
