I’ve had the itch to create an app that addresses a very specific hobby need I have.
While it definitely could be a PWA app — I’ve got zero interest in paying for hosting, domains, etc.
I own only an iPhone and iPad, but I’ve decided to use #Flutter. My initial impression is that it and #Dart borrow heavily from other popular programming languages and app platforms. I don’t mind that at all. It feels familiar and fresh. #Wpf, #ReactJs, #Swift, #SwiftUI, #TypeScript
I know a few folks that use Android that I think will want to use my app
I like to try new things ⬅️
I did try #SwiftUI about 6 months ago and enjoyed it generally speaking.
I ran into a number of self-inflicted UX/UI designs though that were really tough to accomplish (at that time, I've not checked since) and that left a slightly less positive taste.
I'm sure I'll encounter similar with #Flutter as well. 🤓
@ctietze Yep -- it's nice being able to run the Android emulator locally on my desktop.
I've got a Mac laptop, I just don't use it for development much (I've got everything nicely configured and familiar on my Windows PC).
I'll switch to the Mac once the app seems "solid" enough to warrant setting up #Flutter dev there. The videos I've seen make it seem bumpy but not complex. 😀
