Since its release Flutter has definitely managed to make everyone’s heart Flutter! It has managed to rise the level of cross platform development and removed the flaws that previously existed. Until now React Native was one of the most popular cross platform frameworks but Flutter has given a tough competition to this well established framework.
One of the major disadvantages of cross platform development was that as compared to native development, it always felt as if the native feel was missing. However, in the case of Flutter, the framework could connect to the native components of the platform and you cannot tell the difference between a native app and app built using Flutter framework.
Now, let’s talk about what you can build using Flutter?
Flutter was initially introduced as a mobile app development platform. Soon, it’s stable version was released and developers couldn’t stop discussing about the advantages of Flutter for creating beautiful apps.
Once the framework established its hold in the mobile app development industry, the Google team moved to the web. The release of Hummingbird project marked the entry of Flutter in web development.
The Google team known for its innovative efforts has not limited itself to web and mobile. Flutter for desktop and embedded devices is also in the pipeline. But these two projects are currently being run on an experimental basis. Soon, the official Flutter team will be able to make its dream a reality of driving the complete system UI.
