DartNative is a beast. And it’s magic. 🧙‍♂️🔥 We’ve only scratched the surface of its potential. Fast, stable, reliable dn run, unified native/Dart logs, native and custom UI, reactive state management powered by Signals, a truly native look and feel, CodePush, and much more. 🔥

Our ideal customer. 🫶

The ideal DartNative customer is 1) a developer or company considering a move to native (or, tragically, React Native), 2) someone already building native apps but tired of the slowness, complexity, and costs they entail, or 3) a young developer choosing to bet on real native apps from day one rather than having to switch later.

What makes dartnative_http special? 🚀 Native NSURLSession on iOS, OkHttp on Android, zero-copy response bodies, background JSON decoding, native caching and much more. All behind the familiar package:http API. Native performance. Dart simplicity. ❤️ dartpub.dev/plugins/dartnati…

🚨 Can hot reload be much faster than in Flutter? DartNative lets you apply live changes in as little as 60ms, up to 3.9x faster. 💨

We're taking a little longer than planned to include a few engine improvements in this release. Hopefully tomorrow! 🚀

Quality will triumph! ✊ Today, we'll also release our announced solution for faster JSON decoding, along with new benchmarks. We think DN developers are going to love it! 🚀

There was a time when Big Tech paid huge salaries for people to build web stuff. Then came the idea that recycling JS/TS skills to build mobile apps was somehow empowering developers even further. The results of 20 years of this approach? Arguably the poorest software quality we've ever seen, with the App Store and Google Play flooded with mediocre, ugly apps that nobody really wants to pay for. That era is coming to an end. Quality will triumph. My thoughts are with the developers. Historically, our industry has been slow to adapt, and many will face difficult times ahead. If you're reading this, please don't wait. Adapt now. What looks scary today could become your biggest opportunity.

Absolutely. DN or native. We see no alternative when it comes to building truly native apps.

Without DartNative we'd go Swift/Kotlin.

🚨Can JSON be fetched and parsed much faster than in Flutter? A faster parser alone would make little difference. So we rebuilt the whole path, from network to your Dart objects.

And shortly after launch, we introduced the free Community plan to make sure everyone could ship apps with DartNative at no cost. 😊

Chat + Lottie: see how scrolling compares between DartNative and React Native. If you're building chat, social media, or anything performance-intensive, RN simply isn't the right tool for the job.

React Native developers a few days ago after being told they beat native and pretty much every other framework in existence. 🤣🤣🤣

Turns out, they can barely scroll a list. 😊xitter.cf/dartnativex/status/211…

🚨Benchmarks: DartNative vs Native vs React Native. 2 apps (chat and cards), one derived by the RN/Legend example to put the weakest contender in its best condition. github.com/DartNative/dartna… DN is on par with native (Swift/Kotlin) and even beat native on several measures.🧵👇

5/6 RN consistently consume more memory, and in some cases, values are such that cannot guarantee a smooth experience on low-end devices, especially Android devices.

6/6 We encourage everyone to question claims from RN advocates and look at the hard evidence. As a rule of thumb, consider the current reality: Shopify, Notion and others moved away from RN, while Airbnb ruled out a potential transition just weeks after evaluating it.
