Comment on Ask HN: React Native or Flutter for a new app in 2023?

Comments

Been thinking of the same question recently. Appreciate all comments sharing their experience.

For those saying to native, I completely disagree. Going native for the same app running on multiple platforms will face the following issues:

- hard to be consistent.

- hard to get the exact same design especially when using native components.

- release lags and platform specific bugs. Unless you want to block releases for one app waiting for the other app to catchup.

- support effort will double especially if you’re making screenshots and screen recordings.

Well, that's the point. Users are generally happier with an app that feels native to the platform.
