Flutter - how to make a beautiful app in an hour?
summary
Overview of Flutter with concrete takeaways: apps are written in Dart and render with Skia inside a bundled engine so builds produce APK/IPA that include the runtime (minimum ~4.7 MB). UI is not native — everything is a widget with ready Material and Cupertino catalogs; hot edits update state quickly — hot reload in ~300ms — enabling fast prototyping (demo: chat list built in a few dozen lines). Native features use MethodChannel for native APIs. Limitations: ARM only, no web target yet, and platform widgets like Google Maps require native bridges.
