Ask HN: Why did you choose to not use a cross platform framework?
E.g. Qt, Xamarin, ReactNative, Flutter, etc. Why did you choose to write separate native apps for different platforms instead?
- Artemix 8y agoFor my part, for an android app called PixDroid, the reason is the following: - Don't have a macbook and neither want to spend 2k buying one nor want to spend the overpriced 100$/y licence - I like using Java and Kotlin, and since it's the de-facto standard for Android, which is the platform I want to target, it's just perfect.
- starbugs 8y agoDo you want to target Android only or are you planning on porting to others later?
- Artemix 8y agoTo this point, since I made this app as a personal tool, I only targeted Android. If there's any way in which I could make the app available on some other systems, it'd be nice to do so. Which systems do you have in mind ?
