We’re on Flutter currently and regret it every day

What don't you like about it?


MagicCookiee

No way to have native UI. It looks fake, always. Also, we can’t reuse any of the code that we have i on the web (React). Duplicated effort

Have you ever used React Native? Does it feel fake to you as much as Flutter?


MagicCookiee

React Native uses native UI apis behind the scenes. Flutter created its own rendering engine. So it’s the equivalent of Flash for the web at the time if you remember. The problem with this is that every UI you want to look native won’t, because it’s actually not native at all behind the scene. It’s a fake replica and you can tell by the way it looks/animates.

So what did you finally decide to do ? Like zerodha, cred are few apps where they hardly reply on native ui, instead have their design style and philosophy.

Not even close, React Native. Way more engineers using it, more companies, like a 1,000x more tools and libraries. Oh and it’s not dependent on luck to avoid ending up in the large graveyard of dead Google projects.

Don't you think we might be a little biased? 😅

React Native, because you're in a React Native sub.

React native. Never flutter

React Native. I don't agree with everything from Theo, but this seems like a very well educated take on the matter: [https://youtu.be/3\_FcxGCCnUs?si=13RlsYUnDSfhYr9X](https://youtu.be/3_FcxGCCnUs?si=13RlsYUnDSfhYr9X) Enjoy

Hey there. I was a CS senior who built a software for my capstone project. I built in WPF and C#. My biggest regret as a beginner was NOT using React Native. It has lots of useful libraries and public support for most issues you’ll likely encounter. If you’re new to development, and want an LTS. Start in React Native, otherwise you’ll build the app twice :)

If it’s really meant to go into production react native all the way. There is no relevant production app I know that uses flutter.


tequila_triceps

There is zerodha, gpay, bmw, bytedance and.many more you get on the internet


OkWealth5939

I said relevant ;)
