The one flutter website I have come across is an absolute piece of garbage. Completely destroys the ability to modify or even inspect the HTML source. See for yourself

You can export the flutter build as HTML, but the point with flutter is not to be a ”website”, it’s supposed to be seen as a ”web-app”.

If you are going to create simple static homepage or interactive website, I don’t think Flutter is the right tool. Full fledged cross-platform applications is what Flutter is meant for.

I agree, who cares if a website supports accessibility, no one in the world is vision impaired and uses screen readers right? right?

That's not even my point.

Websites should still support accessability, I would even go as far to say it's a must. I just don't want people to mix up web-applications with websites. I've seen some people create a simple "websites" with Flutter which is totally pointless because it could just been created with html + css.

There is also a section in the Flutter docs that talks about accessability and how you can create accessable apps but I don't know how well it translates to Flutter web.

Why would the ability to modify HTML matter at all? Most users don't even know what HTML is, much less how to open the dev console.

Yeah, why does it even matter if you can control a page? Let’s just make it a fucking canvas, power users and those who care about web experience can go to hell.

Regular users know how to install an extension that interacts with the DOM, though

And it has laggy scrolling. What’s the benefit?
