Flutter builds natively compiled apps for mobile, web, and desktop from a single Dart codebase. Custom rendering engine, hot reload, and a widget library.
Reviewer scorecard
“Real-time reactivity without WebSocket boilerplate. Server functions co-located with schema definition is elegant.”
“Hot reload, custom rendering engine, and Dart is surprisingly pleasant. Best for custom UI that needs pixel-perfect cross-platform.”
“The DX is genuinely excellent. If your app needs real-time, Convex eliminates an enormous amount of complexity.”
“Dart limits the developer pool. React Native with TypeScript/JavaScript has a much larger talent market.”
“Reactive backends that push data to clients will become the default. Convex is building that future now.”
“Google's commitment level is uncertain given their track record. React Native has more ecosystem momentum.”
