HN discussionThese are reasonable concerns. Having seen the development of Flutter and its ecosystem over the past 7 years, I've come to really believe in the framework and its mission. There have been lots of companies which have found success building with Flutter [1] and it very often speaks to their bottom lines [2]. I'm hopeful for its continued success, but more importantly, I believe that having more companies building en…

on “Skip Is Now Free and Open Source”Yea, felt the same but haven't used react native for years either. Some concrete examples: - Generally a poorer developer experience (bugs, bad documentation). - Couldn't use some popular/common react native packages.
