In my experience these cross-platform tools (Flutter/RN) have such a limited use-case that they are rarely worth it. Even basic stuff (navigation) require huge amateur libraries that barely work. Couple that with the dumpster fire that is javascript and it's a recipe for disaster.
- matt2000 8y agoFlutter doesn't use javascript.
- HappySweeney 8y agoNor do you need any libraries for navigation.
- hasbot 8y agoAn organization wants their app to run on both mobile platforms. That's not a limited use case.
- aaaaaaaaaab 8y agoTrue. Yet managers love them because these tools promise the ultimate pipe dream: uniform, interchangeable engineers.
- k__ 8y agoI had the exact oposite experience. Native apps are rarely worth it and cross-platform tools are mostly enough for more than 90% of use-cases. I think native apps only make sense when custom platform specfic code makes up more than 50% of your app. How often is this the case?
