Ubuntu Makes Flutter ‘Default Choice’ for Future Desktop Apps

Flutter deserves the hype it's getting. I've been developing apps for 20 years, it's the real deal. We're using it at our company to rebuild our app and now have a single front-end codebase which compiles to web, iOS, Android, Windows, Linux and macOS.

Scrolling is not the smoothest, and that’s on the latest iPhone, but overall pretty good. I can see it working if it becomes as responsive as web / native.

Thanks for trying it out!

I'll be the first to admin that the performance is currently not quite as good as a plain HTML/JS/CSS webapp, however as a small team being able to compile one codebase to every platform is game changing.

The performance issues of Flutter Web are more apparent on mobile however users can install our native mobile app which performs much betters.

It looks like you tried refreshing the data in the app to resolve the problem, does refreshing page in the browser help?

Not sure why I'm not seeing the same problem on my iPhone. If you use the app and would like me to help debug it feel free to email us at [email protected].
