Re: Flutter 2
#2Last time I tested a Flutter-built app on an iPhone X (perhaps a year ago) there was still obvious jank in transitions/animations.
I assume most of the showcases mentioned here (WeChat, Grab, Yandex Go, Nubank, Sonos, Fastic, Betterment and realtor.com) are Flutter-based on Android only?
Is there a well-built Flutter-based iOS app without jank now?

#3Does this mean all desktop integrations have now migrated from alpha and are available on stable releases?
The post isn't 100% clear on this.
I tried out Flutter a while ago, and it's really promising as the only really viable alternative to the JS/browser stack for cross platform GUIs.
Dart is not terribly inspiring and lacks the appeal of other new languages like Kotlin or Swift, but it's fine; as in: boring/easy to pick up and good enough for frontend, although somewhat sluggish.
ps: I personally don't see the design of Flutter Web as viable for production apps, so if you need Browser support, a JS stack will remain the only solution, at least for a few years.

#4I'll only believe this is worth my time if:
a.) Google fixes Flutter Web and all of its idiosyncrasies
b.) Google removes the jank in iOS apps.

#5I am really excited for web support! My own plans for making web-apps now will probably lean towards Flutter and web-sites towards HTML/CSS.

Flutter 2 contains desktop support at the beta level on both the beta channel and the stable channel behind a config flag.

#7Flutter for Web feels like such a wild step backwards in terms of functionality that I'm not sure the benefits it brings are worth it. I just tried a few samples, and basic interactions like selecting text, saving images, and opening links in new tabs don't work. This is the result of rendering everything to a element. I'm much more interested in a React Native style approach, which seems to provide a consistent set of components that work the same on mobile, desktop, and web.

#8I recently discovered Flutter and I love it for making mobile apps. The multiplatform by default with good API and stability is a winning combination. Lots of modern language features from Dart and built in support for two way binding makes GUI programming much easier. I much prefer it to React Native.

#9Congrats to the Flutter and Dart teams! This is a huge accomplishment.
However, I worry about accessibility story for Flutter applications. Am I naïve? Should screen-reader support be a concern for the kind of complex visual applications that Flutter is built for?

Doubt it. More likely this is Google half-assing something else. I doubt Flutter 2 is worth it, since they were just beginning expanding the Flutter team 2 weeks back
