A week with flutter:
1. I like how simple it is compared to React Native
2. Same issues as react, want platform specific, good luck writing plugins. Though the upside is I can use Swift and Kotlin with it, but still mixed code is bad

    I want to get into Flutter myself. Any tips you got on where/how to start? Tools? IDEs? Tutorials? Specific versions?

    Thanks in advance!

    @telephantasm this one's pretty decent https://youtube.com/playlist/...

    Though the first half is basically just a dart tutorial

    I prefer jsx and hooks but other than that flutter is very enjoyable.

    Out of curiosity: what platform specific apis are you missing?

    Start when Swift. It took me less than a week to learn and develop a small client app for the company I work.

    @ColdFore I do know how to write native, but want to give flutter a try out of curiosity tbh

    @telephantasm check this: https://flutter.dev/docs/cookbook really helped me and its easy to understand.
    You can either use Android Studio, Jetbrains Community Edition or VS Code, I'm using VS Code because it is lightweight compared to Android studio and jetbrains

    @musician For example push notifications require a plugin, I want to play Audio, I also require a plugin. I do understand the team focused on delivering what is considered as widely used in many apps (like video player) But it is still early I'm not sure what if I had to make an app that makes use of Gyroscope, and other sensors in the phone?

    Having to mix code is a bit confusing, and needs lots of thoughts before designing arch of the app.
