Flutter CTO Report by LeanCode
Excerpt
Despite the positive feedback, the survey also sheds light on some key areas where we can do better. Concerns about the discontinuation of product support, limitations with Web implementation, and challenges with hiring skilled Flutter developers stand out. The Flutter team is committed to working with the developer community to address these issues on an ongoing basis. … **The Flutter ecosystem still has some points of friction, with web-related user experience being the most frequently mentioned issue.** At the top of the list of concerns for teams currently using Flutter are features related to web UX issues, such as scrolling. This concern aligns with the high popularity of the web as a target platform for Flutter-based apps, as shown in the earlier parts of this report.
Related Pain Points
Difficulty Hiring Experienced Flutter Developers
7Dart is not widely adopted compared to JavaScript, Kotlin, or Swift, making it challenging to recruit experienced Flutter developers and often requiring organizations to retrain existing teams. The smaller developer community also means fewer learning resources and solutions for debugging complex issues.
Web and desktop support immaturity affecting production readiness
7Flutter's web and desktop support remain inferior to native solutions in stability and performance. Production apps experience bugs, browser incompatibilities, input and rendering delays, especially with complex interfaces and interactive applications.
