Why leap of faith

Flutter is still new and young, but a trending technology with a huge potential, developed by the Google’s flutter team. We clearly don’t know how far the technology will expand or how much it will be used in industry applications in the future except for the part that this is the one of the best technologies so far to build cross platform mobile apps and the biggest competitor for react native. Additionaly flutter has gone extra lengths to make the platform available for both web and desktop.
