To be truly multi-platform this library should be extensible to the major operating systems.

We've working on the implementation at https://github.com/allbrightio/flutter_blue/tree/federated_plugin, linux plugin uses internally bluez.dart and the results are quite promising. we'd also like to port windows implementation of the other blue library https://github.com/woodemi/quick_blue to be compatible with flutter_blue.

@robert-ancell I'm interested in getting Linux support so happy to collaborate if thats something you've already started working on?

@maks I did start looking at this. I was trying to connect up bluez.dart to flutter_blue. Since bluez.dart is all written in Dart, this would require flutter_blue to be restructured to use a platform interface like path_provider does. This would mean some plugins can use the platform channels, and others (i.e. Linux in this case) could just use native code. @pauldemarco have you had any thoughts on this?

I've currently shelved that work and am working on the connectivity plugin instead (connecting to NetworkManager). @maks would love to collaborate - feel free to ping me for reviews or help!
