I switched to Flutter 2.5 years ago for frontend. The blessing of having incredibly well designed UI framework that gives you NATIVE iOS/Android/WEB/MacOS/Linux/Windows app from the single code (in a decent language and without a gram of html/css/js crap) is hard to describe. I'm stunned by how many devs yet to discover flutter.
Web frontend ecosystem is just a pile of hacks on top of hacks compared to what Flutter team and community has built over just few years.
- BoorishBears 5y agoI don't think devs haven't found it, it's a combination of: - They found it too early and it was pretty broken (I fit in this camp a little) - They found it and consider Dart a step back from the main languages on most platforms. Dart feels closer to Java/ObjC than Kotlin/Swift for those who are in the mobile space and know what that transformation was like. (I mostly fit in this camp)
- floxy 5y agoDead tree Flutter book you would recommend?
- divan 5y agoNope, I use bottom-up learning for languages/frameworks .
- david_allison 5y agoI'd like to trust Google, but they deprecate Android functionality at an astonishingly fast rate. It's a significant risk factor that should be taken into account. Doing a quick "Find usages" on java.lang.Deprecated in my current project returns over 4,000 instances from Google/Android libraries and it's a significant frustration within the Android developer community
- barbarbar 5y agoMaybe it is because flutter is acting very strange when used in a web app. Scrolling is kind of not working. Or has that improved?
