Flutter
2 Min. reading time Programmiersprachen / Tools
Flutter is a UI framework from Google that allows you to develop mobile, web, and desktop apps from a single codebase. Although our focus is on React Native, we support Flutter when needed—especially if client projects are based on it or if there is a specific request to do so.
💡 What Makes Flutter Special
Flutter uses the Dart language and renders the entire UI itself—independent of native system components. This enables a consistent user interface across all platforms, paired with high performance. Flutter really shines when it comes to complex UI design or animated interfaces.
🛠️ When We Use Flutter
- When a client is already using Flutter or an existing codebase needs to be modernized
- When platform-specific design isn’t a priority, but rapid UI iterations are
- For special internal tools or MVPs that need to work quickly on Android and iOS
- When strong integration with Google services (Firebase, Maps, ML Kit) is desired
✅ Advantages of Flutter (and its limitations)
Advantages:
- A single codebase for mobile, web, and desktop
- High performance thanks to its own rendering engine (Skia)
- Great flexibility in UI design
- Active community, especially within the Google ecosystem Limitations (based on our experience):
- High barrier to entry due to Dart, which is less widely used than JavaScript/TypeScript
- Cumbersome build process
- Web apps are not yet fully mature
- Feels less “native” compared to React Native
❓ FAQs about Flutter
Do you also develop new apps in Flutter? Yes—but only at the client’s request. Our preferred technology is React Native, as it fits better into our web/JavaScript stack. However, we are also proficient in Flutter. Can you also create web apps with Flutter? Yes—but web development with Flutter is not as performant or flexible as classic web frameworks like Next.js or Remix. We recommend Flutter more for mobile apps. What is the community like, and what does the future hold for Flutter? Very active—especially in the Android and Firebase ecosystems. Google continues to invest heavily in Flutter, particularly for cross-platform UIs.
