A the emphasis on Semantic HTML makes me think the author is missing the point of Flutter Web.
The goal of Flutter Web is to make an app that runs in a web browser instead of on a phone or on the desktop. It is not trying to be an html document. iOS and Android and Windows and Mac apps don't have "semantic controls".
- nicoburns 3y ago> iOS and Android and Windows and Mac apps don't have "semantic controls" They actually do. Specifically all of those platforms have accessibility APIs that export a semantic representation of the apps UI for use by applications like screen readers. That Flutter for web doesn't do this (and is thus innaccesible to many people) is good reason not to use it.
- tgv 3y agoI don't care about the semantic web, but I do care about accessibility. Most web sites should be accessible to people with (visual) handicaps. Text should be intuitively selectable. If flutter can't provide that, then it is a bad choice.
