Flutter's web and desktop support is more of an experiment

If you go to the FLutter homepage, Web is given equal amount of coverage as mobile. Nowhere does it say it is "mobile-first".

This kind of line is repeated in big letters throughout the homepage:

"Deploy to multiple devices from a single codebase: mobile, web, desktop, and embedded devices."

I'm not sure that equal is the best way to describe it. Web has been there longer than desktop and embedded because Dart came with the ability to compile to JS, but web is given nowhere near the same attention by the Flutter team as other platforms.
