Why Flutter?

Single Codebase for Multiple Platforms

Flutter allows you to write code once and deploy it on both IOS and Android platforms.
This significantly reduces development time and effort compared to maintaining
separate codebases for each platform.

Open Source
Flutter is open source, which means it benefits from a large and active community, and
there is a wealth of resources, packages, and plugins available.

Access to Native Features

Flutter provides plugins that allow you to access native platform features and APIs when
needed, ensuring you are not limited by its framework.

Performance
Native apps offer the best performance because they are optimized for the specific
platform's hardware and software. They can access device-specific features directly.

Maintenance
For native apps, making updates or changes requires separate work for each platform
which can be more time-consuming since you're managing two codebases.
