Today, we’re announcing Flutter 2 : a major upgrade to Flutter that enables developers to create beautiful, fast, and portable apps for any platform. With Flutter 2, you can use the same codebase to ship native apps to five operating systems: iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux; as well as web experiences targeting browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Flutter can even be embedded in cars, TVs, and smart home appliances, providing the most pervasive and portable experience for an ambient computing world.

Google are on it way more than Apple…who wouldnt want a ‘free’ automatic* version of their mobile app for windows, linux, mac and the web?

*95% code reuse

Might not be a gamechanger but not far of either

To me it is a game changer. But it really depends how well it behaves on the desktop platforms. General experience with other toolkits in the past shows that desktop platforms get a back seat usually.

Electron never made the effort in the first place. It just bundles a normal browser…

Why not just update the existing one? I understand that there’s a bunch of new features and stuff but still :thinking:

…unless its a major update called Flutter 2 :rofl:
