Description
Flutter has been here from the starting of 2017. Initially, it was a mobile only framework which slowly and steadily got support for other platforms, like Web and Desktop. As Canonical started working on their own flutter based App Center, the Flutter Yaru widgets became more and more polished. A point to note here, is that the App Center was initially an idea from the community, which also created the widgets for Yaru. Many apps from the Ubuntu Flutter Community also came up, the most popular one being Musicpod(a music, radio and podcast app). Even though the app is FOSS and is mainly targeted to Linux, there are also versions of it for Windows, Mac and even Android. This cross-platform support didn't actually need much of an extra work, and even that extra work was actually to make them more friendly for that platform. With a big community and the new fork(Flock) being worked on, just to increase the community aspect of Flutter, the language is becoming a huge alternative yet being friendly for newcomers.
