From 2017 to Now: A Reflection on Flutter’s Journey Through the Eyes of Native Developers. Back in 2017, when Flutter was first introduced, native developers (iOS/Android) were skeptical. Many saw it as just another cross-platform framework that promised speed and flexibility but would fail to deliver the same performance and native feel. After all, native was king, and developers had built expertise and mastery around platform-specific SDKs. The thought of moving away from that felt risky. ❓ The questions back then: ❔ Could Flutter match the polished UI of native apps? ❔ Would it offer the same level of device integration? ❔ Could it outperform or be as stable as Kotlin or Swift? Fast forward to 2024, and the story has changed. Flutter isn’t just a “cool new framework” anymore; it's a serious contender in the mobile development space, trusted by tech giants and indie devs. ➡️ Today, many of those same native developers are now poking around Flutter—curious about its evolution: ➡️ The single codebase dream is much closer to reality, reducing duplication of effort across platforms. ➡️ Performance is near-native, and the widget-based approach gives a familiar yet flexible development experience. ➡️ Plus, with its growing ecosystem and robust community, even die-hard native devs are starting to see its potential for certain projects. 🚀 What’s the takeaway? The tech world moves fast, and while native development will always have its place, frameworks like Flutter are proving that they’re more than just hype. The question now isn’t “Will Flutter replace native?” but rather “How can these ecosystems coexist and benefit each other?” 👨💻👩💻 For native devs who haven’t looked at Flutter recently, it might be time to take another peek.
