What I learnt by building the exact same app in Kotlin (Native Android), Nativescript and Flutter

Arnav Gupta, CodingBlocks

This will go through the journey of building a blogging app (Medium clone) using Kotlin, Nativescript and Flutter and discuss the differences in developer and user experience for the apps built using all these platforms.

Although separate platforms, the end result looks identical to the end user.

We will compare a bunch of things across these three platforms -

Developer Experience
Performance (out of the box)
Performance optimisation learning curve
Memory/CPU/App size differences
Lines of Code
Perceptible jank, smoothness
Constraints and limitations of each framework
