This will go through the journey of building a blogging app (Medium clone) using Kotlin, Nativescript and Flutter and discuss the differences in developer and user experience for the apps built using all these platforms. So I took the famous realworld.io project (which is a clone of Medium) and implemented it in Kotlin for native Android, and then using Nativescript-Vue and finally in Flutter. Although separate platforms, the end result looks identical to the end user. We will compare a bunch of things across these three platforms - Developer Experience Performance (out of the box) Performance optimisation learning curve Memory/CPU/App size differences Lines of Code Perceptible jank, smoothness Constraints and limitations of each framework
