I recently looked closely at cross platform mobile mobile development. Despite distrusting Google and despite knowing react I chose flutter. I want something fast with close to total cross platform compatibility. Net Maui is not well spoken of. React native seems slow. The only real choice fir my needs is flutter. Let’s see how long it holds up.

Try ReactLynx first.

How so?

Primarily because the sentence doesn't even make any sense? It seems like rage bait.

Are we intentionally reusing project names now? Lynx [1] is a fairly popular tui browser. I guess it doesn’t support ssl or tls, so is now obsolete? W3M [2] is a decent tui alternative that does. Or if you use kitty, awrit [3] is nice, with images and mouse support (it renders chromium in a terminal window) [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser) [2] https://w3m.sourceforge.net/ [3] https://github.com/…

>Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting. Name collisions are so common that the guidelines tell us not to talk about them. Why would you assume that this is intentional? And then the rest of your post is just about different tui browsers? How is this the top comment?

oops, sorry!

Google already did the talking for both of them. It’s called Flutter.

Does Google use Flutter for building Gmail, Google or other major mobile apps?

Look for the headline "Flutter at Google"

TikTok is impressively multi-device. It works well on Android, iPhone, Android TV, and web. Compared to Instagram, where the web version has always been behind the mobile version, TikTok really seems to make each device version the best possible.

I'm pretty sure for Instagram it's by design, not because of their technical stack.

They want you to use the app because it's harder to adblock in apps than on the web.

Likewise sorry for writing what was on re-reading a rude comment.
