The real downside of using flutter is that you can't embed (or inline) any native widgets like video or maps.

- grey-area 9y agoThanks. This would be a blocker for me so it's good to know. They have an issue open on it, but no progress so far it looks like: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/73 https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/73 An awful lot of apps use a map, and a static map in many cases isn't going to be enough. Likewise many apps will want to display video. Looks like they also have an issue open for webview support, which could be a problem too: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/730 https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/730 But then I found this, so perhaps there is hope if you can launch it in a new view: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/tree/master/examples/platform_view https://github.com/flutter/flutter/tree/master/examples/plat... Looks like you could do the same for any view, so it's more that you can't have a subview which is a map or video etc, which isn't such a bad limitation (not ideal, but at least it's not impossible).
- saintfiends 9y agoThis is one of the blockers for me as well. It can't embed web pages inside Flutter widgets.
- sethladd 9y ago(disclaimer: I work on Flutter.) Hi, thanks for the feedback! Would you be willing to "thumbs up" this issue? https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/73 https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/73 It helps us when triaging. Thank you!
