I use it in production for a complex app that has tens of thousands of users hit it a day, and it's used by at least Twitter, Flipkart, Uber, and Major League Soccer.

It's a really nice React library, I go to it even for web only apps. The CSS-in-JS engine meets all the expected performance features like atomic css.

Do you have any notable examples of a Flutter web app being used in production? I assume not because of accessibility isn't ready, along with the many other issues.

(disclaimer: I work on Flutter Web)

Curious what's not working in Flutter's accessibility. We are aware of multiple bugs, some specific to a particular assistive tech not interpreting our ARIA attributes that we need to work around, but our accessibility support is rarely described as not ready.

Never used Flutter, no plans to use Flutter, likely would never rely on anything by Google in this space if I could help it. Not sure why you're asking me about it, unless you think my question about this v0 library is somehow a defense of Flutter, which it's not.

There's no ulterior motive, I asked because we're commenting on an article/ad about Flutter.

You posed the question if there were any notable examples of RNW used in production because you haven't seen any. (it's on their home page)

I answered who is using it and simply posed the question if there were notable examples of Flutter Web used in production because I haven't.

If you knew enough about RNW to look out for sites using it and pose a question about it then I assumed you knew enough about Flutter to do the same?

That it exists, it's general purpose, and given it's semantic version that it's pre-release software. That's all I know about it. I know a little more about Flutter since it has a marketing budget.

It probably wouldn't be wise to rely on either of them outside of hobby projects. Unless of course you are Facebook/Twitter/Google, aka have effectively unlimited budget and employ the people who wrote the stuff to begin with.

That's why I asked. You asked about RNW because you hadn't heard of anyone using it, I asked about Flutter because I haven't used it and don't know anyone who does.

I rely on RNW and RN everyday for a production app (iOS/Android/Web) with thousands of DAU. I developed and maintain the app solely.
