Why are you moving from Flutter?


Their Community is dead compared to React Native :(


Sad to hear. I was considering Flutter for desktop development, maybe I should reconsider. On the other hand, it seems to be the most mature solution when it comes to cross-plarform desktop and mobile. React Native desktop support is still weak as I understand.


Yeah, I've done mobile for almost a decade and it seems like Flutter is the much stronger option here, despite a bigger market on React Native.

Over several years, several jobs, different projects, we've analyses on whether to move to React Native. Every time, it seems easier to just maintain iOS and Android with one person. There's more support for SDKs etc on Flutter than RN. Just plain native is always a safe bet if you have trouble with Flutter.

I avoid commenting on the hiring threads here, but I feel such a large change may be a mistake. Just my two cents.
