Does anyone know if Flutter was in the consideration set? It's gaining some momentum as a slightly more stable crossplatform ecosystem to React Native. but of course, there is the prospect of Google and Dart.

To be honest, it's only gaining momentum because of the PR behind it. I've yet to see or hear of a major hybrid app getting shipped in Flutter.

  I know a few freelancers that specialized in Flutter the last year. But I wasn't convinced either.

  https://flutter.dev/showcase https://flutter.dev/showcase seems to show a lot of major applications using flutter.

We did consider Flutter, but (1) we already had a very strong javascript talent base that we wanted to leverage; (2) at the time when we made the decision, Flutter was still relatively early in its lifecycle. That said, we've spent a lot of time talking with teams using Flutter and we think it's awesome!

  Could you say which teams you were talking to? Curious about companies adopting Flutter and why over other solutions.

    Mostly teams within Google that have had success with it.
