What is a Flutter app?
Flutter is Google’s Software Development kit(SDK). An open source technology for creating native android & iOS apps with a single codebase. It has a rendering engine, readymade widgets, testing, command line tools & integration APIs.
What’s so different about Flutter?
Flutter renders the app itself rather than letting the platform do so. That means your app is superfast, responsive and can run on whatever platform you like.
Like react native, it doesn’t need a bridge & communicates with the native platform using Dart- Flutter’s object oriented language speeding up the app startup time. Gone are the days when developers struggled with screen size and aspect ratio.
Now developers use Flutter’s hot reload feature to deploy codes across various devices & platforms reducing the overall development time by 20%.
