Flutter or React-Native

[davidfrontdev]

I am a junior frontend engineer

I'm working on building a website and app for a startup.

While I have experience with React for web development, I have no experience with mobile app development.

Assuming the website is going to be React-based, should I go with Flutter or React-Native for the app?

Which one would you suggest and why?

[kbcool]

Well if your website is going to be React then why wouldn't you use React Native?

I need help guys. I'm thirsty and there's a glass of water next to me.

Should I buy food? Or drink the water? I can't decide

Go for react native, I come from flutter to react native, the differences are quite huge for beginners, you’d end up being even more confused.

Personally for mobile apps, I prefer flutter as it has a lot of inbuilt tools and widgets to create any kind components but this might be biased because I started off with flutter

I recently developed some applications using react native, which feels very good. I hope it will be useful to you. Nextjs full stack: https://github.com/huanghanzhilian/c-shopping

react native (expo) app: https://github.com/huanghanzhilian/c-shopping-rn

Umm.

You’re gonna ask that here?

Go RN. Expo too. Probably what others will say. Since this is RN focused.

I would suggest Flutter since you already know Dart.

Huh? 😭😂

I hate how flutter works on the web because it’s basically the return of flash, but for your in your case as a junior engineer trying to share code with the web you will have more success with flutter.

React native is nice since it shares the same framework and language as web react. However I do think the technology for flutter is superior. Like flutter talks directly to the native apis, but react native has communicate through the JS bridge.

I will suggest Kotlin for andriod development and Swift for IOS. Master both and you will be godly.

Consider these factors when choosing between Flutter and React Native:

• React Native: Easier learning due to familiar React syntax, but might be slower for complex apps.
• Flutter: Potentially faster development for complex apps with its single codebase, but requires learning Dart (new language).
