I've been coding Flutter mobile apps for a couple of years, but have only toyed around with the web target. In my experience it seemed kinda off. Scrolling lists ignored my native scroll speed and janked, text manipulation felt laggy, etc. It reminded me of the good old horrible days when Flash-based websites was widespread. I tested it right after the 2.0 release, so perhaps they've fixed it since.
EDIT: Also IIRC the bundle size of a release bundle was like 3mb which was a big yikes.
- sgt 5y agoYeah that was our primary risk - the actual main.dart.js file becoming too large. We host the JS asset on Cloudfront and the web app from somewhere else, which makes it much better. As far as Flutter Web itself, I only think it became production ready for the web in the last 3 months - literally! It was a bit of a risky choice, but it worked out well for us.
- intrasight 5y ago>seemed kinda off Yes. And that's exactly why it's important for Google to eat their own dogfood.
- mekkkkkk 5y agoI mean, yeah. But rolling it out to millions of users wouldn't really pass as dogfooding, though?
