What are you using for web? We're using react, and are planning to move to react-native-web for better web + mobile code sharing, and for Catalyst for having a native macOS app — not sure also if Flutter will work for that.

But it's key for us, since we started with JS, to stay in JS due to the knowledge out there and within our team — already. It, of course, depends on your team and in your hiring options.

I feel Flutter/Dart is still too immature to be deployed all across the stack. Maybe if you're today starting from scratch it would be doable, like it is for you. Mind sharing your landing page? I'm interested in seeing your product.

I built a web prototype in Flutter. I started in May and was using a web specific branch then Flutter's master branch. Doesn't run well (and I haven't optimized anything) but I am on stable now and its getting better.

Sent you an email with a link to it.

Sure! Send it over to [e-mail] :) Cheers!

Dart on the web frontend too, since start of the project. If you already had a substantial part of the project in JS, then Typescript would prob be better choice.

Dart is pretty mature at this point, with a very solid type system and getting better with extension methods just added and NNBD coming soon. It doesn't have as many packages, but it's pretty good.

They're working on flutter for desktop and there's a prototype.

To me "not enough packages" out there means it's an instant competitive disadvantage to do production-ready apps, at least for Web — which at for us at Standups is a critical platform, especially given we're B2B.

Hopefully, it catches up soon though, as I do think Flutter is better than React Native in most fronts.

Tough call though, since # of packages is a poor metric.
