AMA with Brian Egan and Filip Hracek
summary
Flutter compiles to native ARM machine code and renders every pixel itself, so apps report much faster startup and smoother animations than JS bridge solutions. Real projects cite 50–65% shared web to mobile and up to 90–95% shared iOS/Android when UI is custom. Google’s AdWords is a flagship Flutter app. Development uses VS Code/IntelliJ with an inspector and hot reload ~500ms, while native plugin quality and some sensor plugins still need polishing.
