correction: uikit is the number of framework for making nauseating and vertigo-inducing apps
Samuel@samuel.fm· 6 Apr 2025huh I might be wrong then! it’s definitely not RN (straight up not possible to do those dumb transitions yet), but seems like you might be right that it’s just their merchant app that’s flutter. its just a native iOS app - sorry for the flutter slander then!!
nah you’re on to something, when i got Rappi for ordering food in colombia it was like “why is everything in the app… moving around like this…”
it was flutter, it’s always flutter

Oh right. I was wrong.
Flutter uses the Impeller engine in favour of the old Skia engine. Both use Metal on iOS and Vulkan on Android with a hardware abstraction layer in between. To create a universal API for the Impeller engine.

yep, a completely custom renderer (which is how it’s crossplatform). different to React Native, which instead uses native platform views on each platform (and thus can leverage uikit)
