What's your experience with multiplatform (Win, web) Flutter? (self.flutter)

Recently started testing different frameworks to build small standalone apps to help manage a bigger (quite large) system. Latest one I was working with was TKinter for python and it was good. Running queries and generating reports. but the UI was very outdated. Yesterday I started looking into flutter for windows desktop and been looking at available packages on pub.dev

Small desktop apps are absolutely fine in Flutter. For your use case I can't imagine there being much problem, beyond connecting to the databases youre using to pull data. You might have to write the API client yourself if it's not a relatively new database server.

I'd say have a go with it. The basics are similar to TKinter and the UI is a lot nicer by default. You'll also find it super easy to run on desktop and web - quite literally just changing what the target is and it'll work out of the box (until you start relying on platform-specific features or packages).
