Okay, I will try a new thing. Developing cross platform desktop software (#macOS, #Linux, #Windows) using #Flutter. Let's see how it performs.

Does anybody have experience around this topic?

@[email protected] It can do a lot, but I had a hard time wrapping my head with a lot of concept like declarative UI and how to simple tasks like create a file input form and so on.

I did had a lot of fun creating a shitload of stupid widget it really awesome of you can built complex interface from little bits.

@[email protected] Okay. So, can you recommend another way/tool chain to develop cross platform desktop apps? For me it is essential that every platform will get its native look & feel.

@[email protected] Well if you want native look and feel #Flutter isn't the most straight forward solutions for that. You can achieve it but it's a lot of work. Native look and feel is kinda a huge trap because Windows and MacOS are easy where Linux based distro have a loadton of desktop environnement . Could you specify must have component / ui element for your project ? That could ease the answer .

@[email protected] No special project or reason. It's just my intention.

@[email protected] Ok then before proposing others toolchans that may be compliant with what you want. Try #flutter, it may fullfil your need .
