@blasten called this out last year. This was also extensively worked on by our China customers https://www.infoq.cn/article/iYGyKQowuiUN_Gi2hHDo.

For lightweight "detached" development, it makes sense for Flutter module developers to be able to bootstrap their module and launch/test their module both in a standalone fashion and also in normal 'production' mode integrated into their bigger host app.

Document the best practices for this approach.

Relates to flutter/flutter#32989 and http://flutter.dev/go/everything-builds-from-a-module as well.

I'm of the opinion that the standalone run shell should be another (albeit simpler) add-to-app host app that wraps the same Flutter module and that supplies it with upstream dependencies, data etc.
