Flutter is Google’s UI toolkit for building beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase.

If you are thinking about using Flutter, here are a couple things you should know!

A thread

1. Everything in Flutter is a widget!

This is what makes Flutter so simple to use. Once you get that engrained in your head, it feels like just putting puzzle pieces together.

2. It supports "hot reload" and "hot restart"!

This makes debugging very quick and simple. If you update the code and do a "hot reload" it will update your emulator/phone with the changes within a second or two! I run the app from the beginning and see each change get added

3. Supports Android, iOS, Web, MacOs, Windows, Linux, and Embedded!

Android and iOS have had a lot of performance increases recently, and Web is still in Beta, but it is getting a lot closer to becoming stable.

4. It is backed by Google!

Flutter is open source, so anybody can contribute to it! There has been more than 20,000 commits to Flutter already! And with Google's support I don't see Flutter slowing down anytime soon

I started working with Flutter 2+ years ago, it has made mobile development so much simpler and quicker. I have seen Flutter grow at a very quick rate so far, and I can't wait to see where it will be in a year.
