I have never explored Flutter.

Coming from a web background, React Native made the most sense for me. Since I started using it a year ago, I absolutely love it. Great community with constant updates from Facebook, tons of articles/blogs/courses on how to learn it and there hasn't been a single feature Ive wanted to build but couldn't due to some lib restriction

I'm a backend/web dev and recently built an app with flutter over RN. The reason I picked flutter was more about the component/widgets... flutter has them built in. This allows me to just focus on building features over trying to figure out which things to use with RN.

What kind of components/widgets are you referring to? RN has a lot built in and then there are a good number maintained by the community. As far as custom UI components I know some people use libs like NativeBase but I handroll my own
