Flutter INSIDE React? react-native-skia is wild

I never expected to say it, but maybe Flutter was onto something. Seriously tho, very hyped on RN Skia and all the effort that went into it.

It's time to make video: "I was wrong about Flutter" 😂

[@SeanJMay]

That's not really a question about being wrong about flutter. Flutter is positioned as being suitable for web and desktop applications, but still, years in, hasn't traditionally had a good text-editing story, nor assistive technology story, because while it technically supports them, the first one is janky, and the second one is onerous to the point where few people properly do things like merging semantics for related content. The difference is, with React, you can choose to render a text-focused context, or render to an OpenGL / WebGL / WebGPU texture... the app designer gets to choose what they are doing, because they are libraries, not frameworks. So HTML / system-integrated font renderers for textual apps, and WebGPU for interactive apps is A-OK. In Flutter, you don't get a choice. That means the renderer needs to do it all, and it needs to do it all perfectly, and as it stands, replacing Slack and Skype and Signal and Discord and Google Docs, and the like, with Flutter variants (or otherwise GPU textures) would be misery, either for the devs or the users. Definitely the users. Probably both.

I love how ridiculous the differences in the two worlds are. Things that are trivial in one are misery in the other. I find myself wanting WebGPU to be available everywhere, so that I can make games and the like, rendering in WebGPU, with the UI in React portals, pinned to the screen, instead.

[@Khari99]

I became a Flutter dev because of the approach to rendering everything on an engine. Turned out there were a lot of drawbacks but overall it was a very positive experience for me. React Native adopting this is good for the industry. It seems like the interoperability makes it more attractive so that apps can be built without the drawbacks of forcing an engine to be used for everything. Great video. I will say, even though most of the comments are giving you shit without watching the whole video, it’s kind of deserved for giving Flutter so much shit without using it much lol

Note to Theo: Next time, talk about what you really know about or do not say/keep things that are made to prove a point but aren't valid anymore / aren't based purely on feelings (which are mostly biased by your thoughts anyways) about facts: If you say "[...] with their Material UI kit that I know a lot of Flutter devs don't necessary enjoy", how much is "a lot", 50%, 20% 70%? Me, I love Material in general. This would mean I am just biased or I am part of a minority or one of us is wrong, I have a lot of other Flutter devs around me and pretty much all of them atleast like/use the Material toolkit. I actually did not found any source saying without much bias if Flutter devs use Material, in which case Theo should not have said that at all. TL;DR: Fact-check all of what you say, please. If you don't, it makes your takes just awful / wrong and destroys your credibility on other things. Now for my take: I always hated the way RN kept devs off of native stuff and their inconsistency between platforms, associated with Facebook absolutely wanting to build on top of JS to just have people to use their stuff resulting in the awful way RN works to communicate to the system. Flutter FTW.

[@lahiruweliwitiya2]

Love seeing how much people love Flutter in this comments section❤

[@gofullstack]

🤣🤣🤣 Flutter is already moving from Skia to Impeller

[@glaze4629]

The topic of Skia and React Native is not seen with the correct mindset, the exciting thing about Skia is how it allows the implementation of missing UI capabilities for RN, Flutter switching from Skia to Impeller is the equivalent of RN switching its old renderer to a the new one (I forgot the name), this comparision is not equivalent.

[@SeanJMay]

This isn't about speed of rendering. It's about having a GPU-accelerated option for drawing. React Native works in largely web-compatible ways (rasterize text that defers to the system for handling). Flutter is bad with text apps. React, without a GPU-based library, is bad at high-performance graphics rendering. React has react-three-fiber and now react-native-skia, and GPU.js and others... Flutter is still not good with text apps, and isn't nearly as good with accessibility as HTML. When do they upgrade _that_ part of the engine?

[@gofullstack]

@@SeanJMay I believe Flutter has a lot of room for improvement, it's young and is based on low-level APIs which means it can fake it to look native. If Google doesn't trash it then there is a high possibility that it'll have the same UX quality as native.

[@gofullstack]

@@glaze4629 Unfortunately, this was not a comparison. It was like; Flutter is moving away from Skia while RN is embracing it and in my head I asked a question "Could it be that Flutter was doing something wrong?

3:00 Flutter preaches Material UI but you don't have to use it if you extend WidgetsApp Object then you can create your own UI if you don't want Cupertino (Apple's iOS-inspired).

[@dadqqader]

This. Flutter is just UI framework. A lot of of the widget is just material design overlay on top of the low-level API. Got your own button design? GestureDetector is right there for instance.

[@NatoBoram]

While it's true, first-party UIs tend to overwhelm the framework. See Angular and Flutter, where Material Design is the majority of the work done there. If you learn either of those, you'll probably use Material Design since it's first-party and offers valuable components that can save the time to design them. On the contrary, frameworks without a first-party UI library like SvelteKit inherently push you to make your own UI. You get more skilled in the framework when using SvelteKit than when using Angular or Flutter because of that.

[@kennyfully88]

@@NatoBoram I use WidgetsApp all the time and there are tons of times when my apps perform well compared to Material and Cupertino. Also, Both Material and Cupertino are just flavors of the Widgets package.

[@natan_amorim_moraes]

@@NatoBoram I feel like you jumped to conclusion on the last part, Material UI has a lot of experts and research building it, I agree that if you can make something better than that, you get more skilled in the framework, but so many people fail on doing UI and having an UX that is at least decent...

[@luk3dcode]

This 👆🏾.... Now Flutter moved from Skia to Impeller and flutter is way too mature on this then RN. I want to see what they will say about "Flutter vs React Native" on up coming years.

[@SeanJMay]

Flutter's performance isn't bad... flutter's usability, when it comes to text and accessibility are bad. Flutter performance is only bad compared to native apps on desktop/mobile. Flutter usability in terms of text-editing is bad compared to native OS features, and especially bad compared to HTML. Flutter's accessibility is about the same as native, and worse than HTML. Choosing to use a GPU texture as the output in React will make its speed better and its suitability for text worse. The difference is, with React, you get to choose when you use it and when you don't use it. You can't turn it off in Flutter. And by the time Chrome replaces Blink with Skia (I feel like this has been and will be a very, very long road), it should be a worthwhile solution for text-based apps, because Google will have to fix all possible things you can do with text in a browser app, for that to hit mainline release.
