This is super interesting, but the problem I have is that this guy's eye for design leaves a lot to be desired. When was the last time someone built a clunky table directly into the UI and added fully styled table rows dynamically? Why not modernize the design, and use a styled list view with a data adapter and try this again on each platform? It didn't surprise me at all that he struggled with the table in basically…

Re: Flutter vs. Other Mobile Development Frameworks: A UI and Performance Experiment
#62A different way to look at this is adoption, and flutter isn’t at all popular. I don’t believe that’s only a matter of visibility.
React Native is the 5th and Xamarin is the 7th most used frameworks for iOS while flutter is 15th, and similarly among Android apps where it’s 10th.

We just recently shipped an Android app built with react native and while we ran into a variety of challenges to keep the UI smooth the rest was very easy. If flutter was as easy I’d imagine it’d see more adoption.

#65Ultimately it’s hard to evaluate using a single simplistic app. It’s not a matter of setting up a better evaluation but rather real life.

#66Stopped reading there. Work in the industry a minute and then your opinion will carry weight.

#68X vs Y thing is always fun to read. We would all agree that Native apps are still better than RN and Flutter ones. So choosing either platform is a decision you need to take whether you want something fast and compromise on few thinks like look and performance or you want something solid. Secondly the issue with flutter is Dart. If you're a startup with 3 guys, working on Go lang for backend APIs, React / Svelte for…

#69Considering that the lifespan of a Google product is 4 years, would you really invest the time to become an expert on Flutter? Right now about 190 Google products are slated for retirement. They are even going to start killing the Google Cloud after 2023. It's a YUUGE bet.
Re: Flutter vs. Other Mobile Development Frameworks: A UI and Performance Experiment
#70I'm really interested in learning Flutter for future app development as I could really use the time saved in development. But, one thing which really concerns me is the volatility of Google w.r.t products which doesn't get enough adoption i.e. in other words 'I'm afraid Google will kill Flutter'.
