Greetings!
I have been searching lately for frameworks to build mobile apps.
We are trying to make something like a quiz app as a way for customers to contact us. I considered Ionic and React Native because we use JavaScript most of the time in websites, e.g., Vue.js/Nuxt.js. But Flutter seems a decent choice as well, especially since you can use Android/iOS-like components. We are looking for something that works in the long term, something that's time and cost-effective, especially when paired with backend services like Firebase or a GraphQL server. I would like to know your opinions and recommendations. Thank you!
I think in the long term Flutter would be your best bet, I work with both flutter and react native daily and I am constantly finding reasons why flutter is better then RN, some general things I've found with flutter are the following:
- User base is growing massively and a lot of companies are switching over to flutter
- Performance is much better than React, both usage and compile times.
- Managing framework updates with Flutter is a breeze and not so great with React.
I have been exploring the Flutter lately it's good but if I am building something which is really huge then I will definitely use React Native for these reasons
- React Native is used by so many big companies so there are libraries for everything you need.
- As of now React Native community is bigger and more active than Flutter so if you're stuck anywhere it will be easy to get help or just find a solution from stack overflow.
- Since you're already working on JS you wouldn't need to learn anything new and you can focus on building your product.
The question you should be asking yourself Do I want to spend my time learning a new framework and then build the product or should I just building the product with the framework I know.
Are there any performance comparisons you made between the two ?
