Flutter INSIDE React? react-native-skia is wild

I never expected to say it, but maybe Flutter was onto something. Seriously tho, very hyped on RN Skia and all the effort that went into it.

CHAIN REACT IS COOL YOU SHOULD CONSIDER GOING

[MikeNugget]

It's time to make video: "I was wrong about Flutter" 😂

[ISKLEMMI]

JS developers seeing basic game engine features: Woah!
Game developers seeing basic UI features: Woah!

(To be clear, seeing tools become more useful is always great!)

Note to Theo: Next time, talk about what you really know about or do not say/keep things that are made to prove a point but aren't valid anymore / aren't based purely on feelings (which are mostly biased by your thoughts anyways) about facts: If you say "[...] with their Material UI kit that I know a lot of Flutter devs don't necessary enjoy", how much is "a lot", 50%, 20% 70%? Me, I love Material in general. This would mean I am just biased or I am part of a minority or one of us is wrong, I have a lot of other Flutter devs around me and pretty much all of them atleast like/use the Material toolkit. I actually did not found any source saying without much bias if Flutter devs use Material, in which case Theo should not have said that at all.

TL;DR: Fact-check all of what you say, please. If you don't, it makes your takes just awful / wrong and destroys your credibility on other things.

Now for my take: I always hated the way RN kept devs off of native stuff and their inconsistency between platforms, associated with Facebook absolutely wanting to build on top of JS to just have people to use their stuff resulting in the awful way RN works to communicate to the system. Flutter FTW.

Two finger scroll has been fixed in Flutter

[Khari]

I became a Flutter dev because of the approach to rendering everything on an engine. Turned out there were a lot of drawbacks but overall it was a very positive experience for me. React Native adopting this is good for the industry. It seems like the interoperability makes it more attractive so that apps can be built without the drawbacks of forcing an engine to be used for everything. Great video. I will say, even though most of the comments are giving you shit without watching the whole video, it’s kind of deserved for giving Flutter so much shit without using it much lol

[gofullstack]

6:01 The scroll with two fingers is a thing of the past, lol

[haaris]

When flutter uses skia -> Flutter has bad performance
When RN uses skia -> Very exciting stuff

The Irony!

[gofullstack]

🤣🤣🤣 Flutter is already moving from Skia to Impeller

[vladimirkraus]

Flutter team is however already leaving Skia in favor of Impeller, which they claim is much more performant...

[lahiruweliwitiya]

Love seeing how much people love Flutter in this comments section❤

[grzywn]

Flutter is just so simple and so powerful. Flutter haters probably didn't even built a single Flutter app...

[shreyassk]

Calm down guys, I can't like every comments

3:00 Flutter preaches Material UI but you don't have to use it if you extend WidgetsApp Object then you can create your own UI if you don't want Cupertino (Apple's iOS-inspired).

[tadaspetra]

Even the biggest critics are finally coming around to Flutter. Also the 2 finger scroll was recently fixed, the text spacing is better, it's getting closer and closer to being indistinguishable on iOS with all the huge benefits of the things mentioned at the beginning of the video

[PanaraStudios]

3:40 Flutter on Android also uses impeller now, no more skia for android or iOS in Flutter, 2 fingers scroll is fixed.

"Linux is only viable because of Electron." *React* is only viable because of Linux. Linux powers virtually every web server and cloud platform. Electron? You are acting like Discord and Slack are not available on a goddamn browser. Jesus Html Christ, what is it with this aggressive animosity towards Linux users??

A flutter dev here, and out of topic,
When building an apk with rive for flutter it makes the apk hell janky.
Saw the apk file size bump up to 80mb from 22mb just by adding the rive package to the project.

[sliversun]

I have been using skia in react native for the last few months and the performance from it has been out of this world. Also william has been my go to "youtuber "to learn from. Great guy great library

[MrJugamir]

Why not just write an RN wrapper around flutter directly? 😂
