They tend to run overpowered machines, but then they&amp;#x27;re oblivious to performance problems their apps have. As a consequence, users have to keep playing catchup with developers&amp;#x27; computers. I feel strongly about this. I can&amp;#x27;t say with a straight face that the growth in apps&amp;#x27; resource consumption over the last ten years reflects in improvements in their feature-set.

I&amp;#x27;m not sure how much of the stutter is to be blamed on Flutter and how much is to be blamed on the code architecture of this website.&lt;p&gt;This website is definitely running at 20-30fps max on my phone, whereas 60fps seems perfectly maintainable on my own Flutter experiments with web apps.&lt;p&gt;Having said all that, I&amp;#x27;m still miffed about the extreme reliance on Javascript modern web applications have. With the ease of use Flutter promises for making web apps, I can only fear the slow, janky mess that websites will become if the platform ever gets taken up as quick as Flutter seems to hope it will.</text><parent_chain><item><author>flohofwoe</author><text>Hmm... on my mid-2014 13&amp;quot; MBP (which is completely fine otherwise) performance is so bad that this doesn&amp;#x27;t really make me confident that Flutter is &amp;quot;the future&amp;quot;.
