Flutter

Flutter is an open-source framework from Google used for cross-platform app development. It allows developers to create iOS, Android, web and desktop applications using a single code base. Instead of relying on native UI elements, Flutter uses its own rendering engine to draw the user interface independently of the platform.

Flutter's strengths

• Unified UI design for all platforms: Thanks to its own rendering system, the app looks the same on all devices.

• High performance: The apps run on the Dart Virtual Machine (VM) and use the “hot reload” feature for fast development cycles.

• Extensive platform support: In addition to iOS and Android, web, Windows, macOS and Linux apps can also be developed with Flutter.

• Growing developer community: Flutter is actively developed and strongly supported by Google.

Why we don't use Flutter as our primary technology

Although Flutter offers many advantages, we have chosen .NET MAUI as our preferred technology. The main reasons for this are:

• C# and .NET integration: As experts in the .NET ecosystem, we can develop more efficient and sustainable solutions with .NET MAUI.

• Better connection to enterprise solutions: .NET MAUI is perfectly integrated with Azure, Blazor and Microsoft technologies, which is crucial for business applications.

• More native performance and look and feel: While Flutter relies on its own rendering engine, .NET MAUI uses the platform's native UI elements directly.

When Flutter can be an alternative

Despite our focus on .NET MAUI, there are scenarios in which Flutter can be useful, for example:

• When a consistent UI on all platforms is desired, regardless of the native look and feel.

• When web support is crucial, as Flutter can create web apps from the same code base.

We are happy to advise you on the best technology for your app project – whether .NET MAUI, Flutter or another solution.
