I see this on dark.dev for web

"Warning: While in development, web support is available in the beta channel"

What is your experience? Is it OK to use this is in production app. Right now I need a web and desktop app and curious to know if Flutter can be used. But I see the Flutter web is beta quality and Flutter desktop is alpha quality as of now

Flutter Web does it's own rendering via canvas, so accessibility is off the table for now and there is no easy path to get there.

That alone should kill it for most production use unless it's an internal tool.

("should" because many apps sadly just don't care)

edit: I was wrong, see below. Glad to be wrong actually, because Flutter is great.

That isn’t true and hasn’t been for a while. It’s nowhere near “web native” still but it is yet to even get a non beta release so I will give it some slack.

But I think Flutter is probably the best hope out there right now for the ever elusive dream of write once and run anywhere with native performance.

Apparently this is not true. It does support accessibility.
