But please don’t make web apps with Flutter. It has determinedly taken the pure-canvas route which makes it very unpleasant to use for a significant fraction of users, and all kinds of things just don’t work the right way and can’t. (I’ve written about the problems here on HN quite a few times, search and you’ll find them.)
- m_sahaf 3y agoFor web, Flutter has 2 renderers and offers 3 options: - html: Uses HTML elements and CSS - canvaskit: which, as you mentioned, uses canvas to own the full drawing process - auto: defaults to canvaskit on web but html on mobile.

- chrismorgan 3y agoCurious, I haven’t heard of the HTML renderer. Is it any good?
- m_sahaf 3y agoI don't know what metric to use of "good", but the throwaway app I've used it for worked flawlessly with both, so good enough for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
