12/15/2020, 9:28 PMpersonally I like things stupid simple. Also on flutter everything is widget. This also could be a reason why flutter has so many of them.

12/15/2020, 9:35 PMI would expect Compose to have native components for (most of) the components from the Material spec, as well as the layout components it has now. What other components are you hoping for? I expect the community will build a lot of stuff third-party, since it’s so easy.

12/15/2020, 10:34 PMThere are two aspects to this
👍 1
Flutter exposes as widgets many things that Compose exposes as modifiers
👍 2
In that respect, Compose will have fewer widgets since by definition not everything is a widget in the Compose world
👍 2
Both Flutter and Compose are committed to supporting the Material Design guidelines and specifications, so you should expect to see the same widgets overall in both toolkits (and it’s true as well for the existing View system on Android when coupled with the MDC library)
👍 3
Of course if there are widgets that you believe are missing in Compose, let us know and file a feature request, we’ll be happy to take it under consideration

12/15/2020, 10:44 PMI see, thank you! so what I understand that flutter and jetpack compose should be equivalent in capabilities, is that right?
