I used QT for 6 months and Flutter is way ahead. QT has a huge licensing issue. You can only use QT and not pay a yearly fee of 3 k if you provide the ability for end users to recompile your app against QT. Also it's got a lot of rough edges once you get into the 80/20 situation on real world apps. It takes 20% of your time to get 80% of your app done, and 80% of your time to get the last 20% of your app done. Flutters plug-in system avoids you getting cornered in the 80/20 situation.
I started to do an integration of botldb and some other golang code but am half way through. From what I can see there are no roadblocks. There is one issue with APK packing but I think it just need a script to fix it. I have not published on GitHub yet because it's not done but will..gedw99 is my GitHub org There is a repo there called CI where I am also getting continuous build going for flutter with golang for iOS and Android. I intend to extend it for all Desktops too. https://github.com/gedw99/ci On Sat, Mar 10, 2018, 10:16 PM Justin Israel <justinisr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Sun, Mar 11, 2018, 9:28 AM Ged Wed <ged...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I am starting to develop an app using flutter and golang. >> >> Flutter is the dumb GUI and everything else is written in golang. >> >> It is reasonably easy to compile your golang code using gomobile and then >> bind to flutter using the Method Channel API that flutter provides. >> >> Is anyone interested in this ? >> > > I was just recently considering getting some mobile dev practice in, and > was thinking whether to use a flutter approach or something with Qt and > gomobile.
