Flutter

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. Google's UI toolkit for building natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single Dart codebase. Unlike React Native, Flutter doesn't use platform UI components -- it renders everything with its own Skia/Impeller engine, enabling pixel-perfect consistency across platforms. Known for smooth 60/120fps animations and fast development with hot reload.

    In plain English: Google's framework for building apps that run on phones, web, and desktop from a single codebase, drawing its own UI for consistency.

    Example: "Flutter renders its own UI with Skia -- the app looks identical on iOS and Android because it doesn't use native platform widgets."
