Top Reasons Why Flutter Become A Trend In Application Development

Flutter is one of the most dynamic and popular product that was developed by Google in the year of 2017. In the year of 2018 Flutter was introduced to mobile app developers and from there it received huge response and popularity for its ability to develop feature-rich app interfaces. It also manages to gather huge community in a very short period of time.

Flutter is a great tool from Google for creating cross-platform applications which – starting from the newest stable version – can be deployed to the web, desktop, and mobile.

Google is encouraging the Flutter as a better and easy to learn framework that allows developers to create quality maintainable solutions. Easy, it is just the next cross-platform framework.

    At my former company, we developed several products with Flutter (even a Desktop app) and I can only support this: Flutter will have a bright future. These are the reasons I strongly believe that:

    • Great developer experience (VSCode extension, hot-reload, many plugins)
    • Relatively flat learning curve compared with web development, where you only learn 3 languages (HTML/JS/CSS) + one framework compared to only learn Dart/Flutter.
    • Google recently shifted the paradigm of flutter to be a multi-platform framework (instead of a "mobile" multi-platform framework) which means it can be used for development on web, desktop, and mobile.
    • Google itself and big partners start relying on Flutter for their own products (e.g. Google Pay App or Fuchsia OS apps) which means Google can't easily kill the project and will develop and support it for at least a very long time (great for enterprises)
