React Developer Reviews Flutter — Better Than React?

[aissamouajib]

Great video, although I think the critique of being too opinionated and telling what you can and can't do is not really valid, the way I see it is that Flutter gives you a choice, like you said with Flutter you get a lot more prebuilt widgets out of the box that are highly customizable but it doesn't force you to use those, you can build your own custom widgets instead with basic stuff like Containers which is essentially a div in React and custom painters and shaders and so on if that's your thing....

since I worked using react native around 5+ years, RN was more painful to maintenance, example when new version of RN is out and we need to upgrade it. but flutter made more painless. And development experience is better for flutter because data type more clear than TS on React Native

Note that unlike CSS, you can also raw dog the layout and just implement it in Dart completely when necessary. I've done that for a complicated toolbar where when the container is shrinking, the search field had to shrink up to a certain point, then hide a few buttons to gain more space, and then if it's even too narrow for that hide the search field as well. When the search field is in focus, it had to expand even more and hide other things instead.
While I think that this would be possible in CSS in some way, it's way easier to implement in plain Dart due to having regular branches and comparators. The function just gets the container min/max size as input and it sets the children's positions and sizes.

The dart support in vscode is much better than c#.

I think flutter is really the 'Unity' of app development. It's very simple to use with pre-made widgets that are customisable but to a limited extent compared with React Native.

[juaninfante]

Awesome work, but you lack a lot on UI/UX I know this is something as a developer we don't pay much attention to but this is your current weakness just pointing it out

[songheu]

cross platform vs native which one is better

[gaxkiller]

So first "downside": There is a lot of widget doing something you would have to do by hand when using react, but you can do it by hand if you want in flutter too.
So your first downside is that flutter does like react, AND MORE. Yeah sure.
And no, there is not limitations on what you can draw with flutter, you can paint if you want, you can do shaders, you can do anything. You, once again assume what you can do is limited to what exists in the pre-build widget library.
Give me one super complicated stuff you did in react that you think is no doable in Flutter, I'll do it

Your to-do app is actually really cool sounding!

[iam_nick]

I hope the flutter community grow faster and bigger, there's potential in there.

[quintennn]

I love the idea of you todo app! I'm a bit mindblown, so simple yet so cool!

[noumbissistael]

Waouh I really like the idea of the app. I think it's pretty cool the functionality of taking a picture to complete a task and the update to come where you can follow your friends is also quite cool

Look forward to the app

I struggle with the set up for eslint and prettier for a long time before I see anything on screen when developing in React Native. But flutter is much more straight forward and has a cool widget tree component display where you can just navigate to them.

Looking for a lot more Flutter videos on your channel.

[TerriTerriHotSauce]

A better comparison would be Flutter vs a React component library

[orjiemmanuel]

Flutter is definitely not explicitly, you have total freedom

[nevilgajera]

guys what should I do, kotlin, flutter, react-native or swift. I am very beginner to this

[shreyanshmisra]

How do you think it compares to Swift and Kotlin? I definitely see how it's competitive with other cross-platform development platforms but I don't think it's going to replace native development platforms anytime soon.

[marcpanther]

If you were to start the app today, would you still choose Flutter?

[mdkvaofficial]

that is exactly I do when trying to make something justify...

anyways, I'm just a noob react native developer who is trying to figure out something I don't even know myself lol...

Love from Pakistan!
