GSoC 2026: Interest in WebSocket/gRPC Support in DevTools Network Panel

[Mohamed Alezzi]

Hello Dart team,

My name is Mohammed Saleh, a final year Software Development student at Istanbul Aydın University, Turkey. I'm writing to express my interest in the "WebSocket/gRPC Support in DevTools Network Panel" project for GSoC 2026.

I believe my background makes me a strong fit for this project:

- Built a real-time voice translation app (NOOTA) using Flutter with WebSocket connections for bidirectional streaming, Dart Isolates for background audio processing, and a Node.js backend handling concurrent sessions.
- 4+ years of Flutter development experience with production apps deployed on App Store and Google Play.
- Experience with native platform integration via Platform Channels (Swift/Kotlin).
- Published researcher at IEEE UBMK 2024.

I'm currently working on the suggested sample project — a ProfileableWebSocket wrapper with a Dart CLI app that logs real-time traffic. I plan to submit it as a secret gist with my proposal.

I've reviewed the project description and the related issues. I'd appreciate any guidance on:
1. The preferred approach for intercepting WebSocket frames in dart:io
2. Whether gRPC support should be designed as a separate module or integrated with the WebSocket implementation

Looking forward to contributing to this project.

Best regards,
Mohammed Saleh

You can choose any way you like. You can make changes to the Dart SDK, in the dart:io code itself. You can also involve changes to dart:developer if you think that would be good. Maybe similar to the addHttpClientProfilingData method, but that's maybe unnecessary.

 

2. Whether gRPC support should be designed as a separate module or integrated with the WebSocket implementation

No, I think it should be quite separated. Support for gRPC and for WebSocket may each be similar to the HTTP support, but I don't think will have much overlap with each other. 

Looking forward to contributing to this project.
