The Journey of FlutterDevs
FlutterDevs — Helping startups and businesses across the globe go Flutter. We build apps that are fast, scalable, and render a delightful native experience to the users across the world with Flutter app services.
Rise of FlutterDevs
As a wise man once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world” .The team of FlutterDevs has been the native heroes for the 10 years. Before Flutter was introduced, we had made hundreds of applications for the Android and iOS platforms. Our team believes in helping and bringing change in the society. Be it creating apps for startups that draw fundings or building digital solutions for Govt. of India for the betterment of the society, we’ve done it all.
The Alpha version of Flutter was made public in 2018. That was the first time when our expert team members heard of it and being the proud tech nerds, Straightaway jumped into Understanding the framework. While we were working on the Alpha version of Flutter, we realized some of Flutter’s best offerings to the developer community.
Hot Reload — Reduces code development time
Less Coding
Rich set of widgets and ability to customize
Native like features
Own Rendering Engine- Skia
These are some of the most important advantages we felt at that early stage. But we definitely realized Flutter is going to revolutionize the development of cross-platform applications.
Fuchsia — A cherry on top!
Soon after Flutter was launched for the public, Google announced and provided source code and documentation of its new operating system, Fuchsia. Fuchsia, a new cross-device open-source operating system. Google’s idea behind this new OS is to create a Universal operating system that runs simultaneously on different devices like Smartphones, Laptops, Tablets, Smart home devices, etc. After the release of documentation by Google, it became clear that Fuchsia OS supports the Dart as a programming language.
Dart, the same programming language on which Flutter is built on. We knew that Flutter already runs smoothly and android and iOS devices and also supports the Web & Desktop as well. It was an alarming moment where we understood that Flutter’s market is going to skyrocket in a few years. And that is when our entire focus was dedicated to mastering this amazing piece of technology.

What makes Flutter the best option for Cross-Platform App Development?
We already know that Flutter is backed by Google and uses Dart programming language. Now, Dart is one of the biggest reasons why developers love Flutter. Dart has Ahead of Time Complied to fast, predictable, native code, which allows Flutter to be written in Dart.
Even though there are a ginormous amount of reasons why Flutter stands out as the best choice for Cross-platform Development, but we’ll try to point out a few. Which are —
High Performance
Flutter allows us to do so much stuff with the apps that are not available on any other platform. Obviously, it will require the framework to be really powerful. In fact, any of the advantages of Flutter wouldn’t be possible without a High-performance cross-platform rendering engine.
Flutter has Skia, their own rendering engine for rendering itself onto the platform provided canvas. Because of this engine UI built in this framework can be launched on virtually any platform.
Lesser Coding
Flutter’s Dart programming language is strongly typed and object-oriented in nature. In Flutter, the programming style is declarative and reactive. Because JavaScript bridge is not necessary for Flutter, the start-up time of the app enhances.
And of course, as Dart programmed flutter framework supports multiple platforms, the written code can be used to support different channels like Mobile, Desktop, and PWA.
Time Tested Efficiency
Flutter has been around enough to showcase concrete proof of its reliance and efficiency. Apps like Google Ads, Reflectly, Alibaba, Hamilton, which we discussed, are the simple portrayal of Flutter’s ridiculous efficiency. These apps with millions of downloads and daily users, generating millions of queries per second, show the reason why these technology giants trusted Flutter with their apps.
Where does FlutterDevs stand now?
Flutter was not always the same. We’ve been working on flutter since it’s inception and we’ve seen Flutter and it’s community grow. There were a lot of challenges initially, which were resolved by the community itself.
