How does Yew compare to Flutter?

[EmilCataranciuc]

Hello.
Basically I am trying to figure out the potential of Yew to become a truly cross platform GUI library. I understand that this might not be the focus currently but with enough community support and motivation it might make sense in the future.
Thank you.

become a truly cross platform GUI library

From what I understand of Flutter (which is not that much), it’s a more “native” framework, in that it doesn’t rely on the existence of a browser (and the document object model more specifically) which Yew does (although it might be possible to remove/reduce this and have different rendering backends). For the most part Yew is a relatively declarative framework Yew is a cross platform GUI library, in that the web browser is a cross platform invention almost by definition and Yew runs inside web browsers. Something in the React Native style of things (with NativeScript) might be possible but I’m not sure if they support Wasm (I looked briefly and there is some suggestion that they support it on Android, but not on iOS because, you know, Apple and anti-competitive behaviour). It would require quite a lot of community support and motivation to be achievable is my guess (more than Yew currently has) but doable?
