I had the same issue.

"Go Flutter desktop embedder". Well, that's that? Click (https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Custom-Flutter-Engin...)

"The Flutter Engine is window toolkit agnostic. " What's flutter engine? Click (https://github.com/google/flutter-desktop-embedding)

"The purpose of this project is to support building applications that use Flutter " Ok, but what's Flutter? Click (https://github.com/flutter/flutter)

"Flutter is Google’s mobile app SDK for crafting high-quality native interfaces on iOS and Android in record time."

OOOOH. Ok.

But what is Android and iOS? What is an SDK? There is only so deep the rabbit hole can go. They chose to stop the explanation at Flutter and I don't blame them. If you aren't already using Flutter, this won't help you as you now have to go learn a whole other library first.

"Flutter is a cross-platform UI toolkit that aims for pixel-perfect, native look and feel on each platform while minimizing code differences."

Does that help?

Does it work similarly on desktop platforms?

Not to my knowledge, I think right now it's just iOS and Android.
