I should have mentioned about the Compose multi platform. It’s the kotlin framework for making other platform UI such as iOS.

But even there is, it’s still alpha for iOS and it can’t stand without writing native code basically, I heard.

Kotlin Multiplatform Compose is out which takes care of the UI. It's in alpha. What's your opinion on Compose?

[UTJK.]

Thanks for the explanation. Finally someone that tells clearly the difference between the two.

[jcolindres]

Hi, good explanation. In terms of performance which one would be best? In terms of future, will flutter be supported by Google since it is adopting Kotlin ?

[georgikopchev]

In my opinion, the most important thing is that KMP builds close to native, while flutter doesn't. So its Native -> KMP -> Flutter -> React Native -> Cordova, Xamarin etc.

[PedroBarbosaRoman]

That is a good explanation! And from an official google support perspective it is like that. Bear in mind, that there is also Compose Multiplatform that works on top of KMP which enables you to share UI just like Flutter, but that technology for iOS and Web is still, at the moment, in alpha or experimental respectively

Bro haven't heard about Compose Multiplatform! 😂 It's in beta for iOS and alpha for web. Stable for desktop and Android.

I am developer which used to KMP and it is not only business but also UI and even database using Ktor. Who sad that KMP does not share UI? Then what I build for my desktope application using kotlin and other many Ios apps?

[vishwam]

There is compose multiplatform for sharing UI across all the different platform

[vseybdt]

the thing is, why would i go flutter for same ui, when compose is alredy coming for multiplataform

[czcyudm]

But if we're using Compose Multiplatform, it's similar to Flutter. Right? Because Compose Multiplatform shares UI, too.

[stanleyillidge]

Totalmente de acuerdo, muy buena tu explicación, cada uno tiene sus campos y para los startups flutter es la merjo opcion

[ArisAris-fsip]

If you start your own company as solopreneur, what are the costs? is it doable to put some effort after my 9-5?

[greycell]

For me, it was simple. I don't like Kotlin or Java, but I need an app. I escape with Flutter and choose another target, same code base, no ridiculous toolchain or deployment.

[yyssxuh]

do you heard about compose multi platform😌

[vigneshe]

Would you like to talk about compose multi-platform

[neilord]

Your English is very good! Just maybe try practicing speaking. I know it is hard for the Japanese :)

[datadriveAshura]

Dude, we'r still waiting for that flutter crash course 😅

[treksis]

looking for js everywhere chad to jump on this clip. react, react native, node!!!

[mic]

KMM is new boss better than react flutter
