Anyone using flutter in favour of electron to build prod desktop apps?


- Anyone using flutter in favour of electron for side projects for desktop apps?

- If so what is your impression especially if you have used both?

- Do you have all that you need out of flutter for desktop that you could have gotten in electron?

- Is it faster to build in flutter or in electron?

- Do you have all the components you need?

- Is there enough support?

- Do you find easily answers in google?

- Do you feel like it's immature?

- Do you regret and wish you used the other?

- In terms of development speed is one 1,2,3X the other?

- Is tooling mature for any?

- For CRUD applications what would you recommend?

I use Flutter Desktop for my presentations. It's faster to make presentation in Flutter for me. Especially after several presentations already done I have my custom "framework" and a lot of helper methods for animation or transitions. You just need to clone desktop embedding repo and have fun with example.

Now with plugins for notifications and file access I think about porting one of password managers to Flutter Desktop. This would take a lot of work but might be a great case for lightweight crossplatform password manager.
