Where did the Flutter crowd move on to? Are they all still on Reddit or did they go to Discord?

We're all too busy building Lemmy clients to chat 😀

I wonder how much Compose and SwiftUI have stolen the wind from Flutter’s sails. It’s either that or Flutter has become a more mature ecosystem and there isn’t as much to talk about or create from scratch anymore. I feel like the weekly newsletters that I get used to have much more and better content than they do now.

Interesting thought.. still, Flutter is the king of cross-platform dev and neither SwiftUI nor Compose can change that, right?

Apple will say that SwifUI is already cross platform. 😂 I work in it daily and will say that it’s quite nice and easy to develop in. There are plenty of drawbacks and the “magic” can be quite heavy at times. Compose is making inroads into the spaces that Flutter has been working on. Jetbrains made a desktop port using the JVM. They also have web and iOS ports in various stages. It’s all very early days for them.

I’m still doing all of my side development using Flutter. It’s barely a question in my mind to consider anything else at this point.
