flutter is based on skia rendering engine and recently they added support for web assembly, it's a matter of time. the thing is, think in terms of capacity and vision, react native is done, flutter will move.
React Native is certainly not done.
it doesn't look promising with the latest beef in the community and the last release notes that I saw in this project - to be real, they're laughable in comparison with flutter 1.9 changelog.

They just introduce the new JavaScript engine just for react-native (hermes.js).

#94These days we have the same questions, but with extra ones:
Fluter or Native? Which the answer is Fluter never ever can be natives, like JAVA and SWIFT, but is good for must of the startups to start quick
PWA or Fluter? We don't know

Yeah I heard you, but it's terrible as a decision, and honestly your opinion shouldn't be allowed on HN without huge caveats that you clearly have no relevant experience in mobile development.
The only ones allowed to evaluate how relevant my mobile experience is are my employers and the customers I work for, which contrary to HN, actually have to give me money for what I deliver.
Incorrect, and alarmingly so. You are providing information here, this exposes you to judgement.

Excellent recap. Can you link to one app ported on the 3 platforms (Android,iOS,Web) so we can test performance from a UX point of view ?
Well, you could try the Ionic Conference App (just a demo app): https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-conference-app
any other real life example besides the provider template app ?

#98Although unpopular on HN: Cordova-based apps with a good mobile look-alike framework can get you very far for a smallish app. Advantages: - truly one code base - iOS, Android, and web apps - JavaScript skills are useful - experience is "good enough" for the average user Downsides: - almost no fine-grained control of input controls (like which keyboard to show) - doesn’t respect users’ accessibility options of the OS…
I used them a couple of times, for that kind of user experience I rather use a PWA.
Cordova can access native features on phones via plugins - database, camera, sensors, etc. As well as use different designs for Android/iOS with the same code via Ionic/F7.

#99Another neither answer:
Kotlin Multiplatform with Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI.
Jetpack Compsoe might even become platform independent in the future.
