I am a heavy user of Flutter. Even for simple things if I need to throw together a UI for my own use and then throw it away, I default to Flutter simply because I have become proficient at boot strapping a Flutter project. This is especially true now that they support desktop applications.

For this application, it sounds like the underlying services are not very platform specific, so on that level it seems like Flutter is a good choice. My concern would be that the developers seem very focused on the quality of the experience of even micro-interactions. My experience in Flutter would say that this degree of attention to detail would be hard to get right with Flutter, especially without choosing a platform to focus on, in which case the cross-platform benefits of Flutter are minimized.

Whether delaying an MVP for months to achieve that quality in the user interactions is an interesting side debate, though.
