Everybody who is so upset about the proliferation of so many heavily abstracted, complicated JS frameworks should probably recognize for a moment that we have a horrible backwards compatibility problem with HTML, CSS, and JS. None were ever designed with the idea that they could support apps like freaking Netflix for Smart TVs or React Native apps for virtual reality.

If you want a truly standards first UI development stack, try Flutter. It critically changed how I view UI development: 1 canvas for any screen. Truly a beautiful thing.

Do you have any favorite Flutter projects I could click around? It’s an intriguing concept but I’ve been offput thus far by Google’s lack of adoption of its own framework.

Yea this is the same as GCP - Google doesn’t use their own public cloud offering. But that’s an organizational decision I don’t know anything about. Sonos app is a popular flutter app that made some news recently. Google earth as well. I think they have a showcase.
