Thanks. I really wish Flutter didn't throw those kinds of errors. We shouldn't have to check if the widget is mounted every time we want to call setState (it should check automatically).

Add mounted checks in
initStatein case of instances when widget is scrolled out of view before async function returns.Shouldn't need to add checks for setting state in button callbacks etc since its unlikely for the associated widget to be unmounted before the callback is completed.
Came across this after pressing 'Back to top' from far down on a feed. The quick scrolling resulted in a lot of null check operator errors.
