Yes, it's a lot of work to create a good GUI toolkit. But it's not impossible either, and Flutter developers have already put in a lot of work into getting things just right on mobile, so I think they have a good shot at doing the same on the web.
- EvilEy3 6y ago> just right on mobile If by "just right" you mean sticking out like a sore thumb on iOS, then sure.
- miohtama 6y agoIt is impossible because on web you do not get access to low level UI primitives like input controls as you would on mobile. They cannot e.g. read clipboad, access native context sentive menus and such. Flutter on web can do Flash applications of 2020, but for most web use cases it is not possible to ”get it right”.
- dvdkon 6y agoI don't think Flutter uses native UI primitives anywhere, but you're right that web APIs have been designed for HTML documents/apps and will need modification for non-HTML apps. We aren't there yet, but I'm convinced we'll get there at some point.
