Hello all, have anyone used flutter desktop ? how to compare with compose desktop ?

I can only imagine this is being asked in regards to consideration for production use in which case the answer for both is that they are both alpha and not production ready.

it is for a personal project! I am okay with waiting until it is production ready! however, I am more looking for which is more flexible and scalable!

I never used Flutter for Desktop, but, what I think is different between the too is the same difference that Flutter and Android Native has, that for any specific OS related that does not have any plugin yet, you will need to create a plugin (specially for Desktop version that is pretty new). This is not the case for Compose for Desktop, because it's runs in the JVM, so, everything that exists for the JVM you can use with Compose, there is not need for plugins.

this is a good point, java ecosystem is much bigger than dart for sure and that is a big advantage.

I built a small desktop app in fluter a few weeks ago and what Gabriel mentioned is the biggest problem and will be for a while. There's a small minority of libraries that have started including desktop implementations but even those aren't very reliable because the flutter desktop plugin API for each platform is still changing quite often

Other than that it works well
