Comment on Flutter Web: A Fractal of Bad Design (2020)

Comments

If you're going to design an app that you want to run in a browser, not a website but an app, why wouldn't you make use of canvas? Especially if you're designing a language that compiles to native code on as many platforms as possible.

I do get the accessibility issue with it but to me it seems that's been sacrificed for ease of development. A trade-off. Genuine question, is there a way to make canvas accessible or is it designed inaccessible? Or is flutter using it in an unintended way?

I'm certainly a happy user of dart/flutter. I'm not targeting the web. I would never use it for a real website but I definitely would for an app though if I was moving anything into the web.
