For my web application I previously reached the conclusion that the best approach is to write independent clients with the platform programming and visual design language instead of trying something cross-platform.
I can see Flutter or QT being great for “we need this to work everywhere and can sacrifice quality”, but for cases where I really need the performance and look (which I don’t imagine shares a lot between platforms) is there argument against just having a native app calling a Go library for the HTTP client functionality?
