I wanted to love flutter. It’s just so hard to commit to anything like this Google makes without a full expectation of getting rug pulled.


Flutter is 9 years old at this point. I do hope they move it its own open source foundation since a ton of apps use it, having all that under Google's control isn't the best (looking at you too Android)


Yeah now it might be ok but when it came out I didn’t want to bet on it.

Around the same time at my job tried to build a design system off Google’s web component MD implementation and that shit stalled and then got fully abandoned.


Oh totally agreed, I went through the same thought process 8 years ago at my last job and decided against Flutter too. I really wanted to, it was just too new as a Google product. I'm happy I get to use it now, it's solid.


I think they are planning to offload it to an open-source foundation! I remember having received a questionnaire along those lines!
