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

Comments

The problem with native is you need to write everything twice, and that's if you only want to support Android and iOS. Of course you can start by targeting just one platform, but then God forbid people actually like your app, everyone starts asking when it's coming to the other platform and you buckle under the pressure of recoding the same app and somehow avoiding all your technical debt from the first one.

If you have a team with 2+ devs, and maybe some actual users, then go for it. But are there any examples of single developers publishing an app cross platform, written natively for each?
