Beyond mobile.

WHAT FLUTTER WEB PRODUCES

A web application rendering through the browser's drawing capabilities.

WHAT IT SUITS

Internal tools Applications where consistency with the mobile version matters Dashboards and utilities

WHAT IT SUITS POORLY

Public content sites Anything where search indexing matters Anything where initial load size matters

WHY

The initial download is substantial, and content is drawn rather than marked up.

WHAT THAT AFFECTS

Indexing, accessibility, and text selection behaviour.

WHAT TO USE INSTEAD FOR CONTENT

Ordinary web technologies.

WHAT DESKTOP TARGETS PROVIDE

Applications for Windows, macOS and Linux from the same codebase.

WHAT THEY SUIT

Internal tools, and utilities accompanying a mobile product.

WHAT TO ESTABLISH

Whether the packages you depend on support those targets.

WHY

Package support varies considerably across targets.

WHAT TO ADJUST PER TARGET

Input handling, since pointer and keyboard differ from touch Window sizing and layout Platform conventions

WHAT TO TEST

Each target separately, since behaviour differs.
