You will see exactly the pixels that your designer intended and your developer coded. :) Apps built with Flutter ship the renderer and framework inside the app, which helps ensure consistency and fidelity across devices, OEMs, OS, and platform. This is particularly important for brands that want a brand-first design delivered consistently to all their users. Hope that helps!

Not to diminish your amazing work. I'm not sure brand-first is user-first. Its most user-friendly to use the standard phone OS controls that they are already familiar with.

Thank you for replying in this thread.

Another question. Why is there no desktop support?

[kjksf]

I'm not on their team but the answer is rather self-evident.

There are 100x mobile developers than desktop developers which is why there's so much more investment in mobile tools than desktop tools.

Also, this is Google-led project and Google doesn't write desktop apps (modulo few exceptions like Chrome). As every team, they have more work than they can manage, so they have to prioritize things that are important to them.
