I need to properly quantify and blog post about this but my testing with this Friendica Mobile app has me very impressed with Flutter's efficiency. I'm biased of course since Flutter and Dart have been my go-to dev stack for desktop/CLI for over a year now but I was afraid it was going to be a battery and deploy size hog. Deployment sizes for the universal binary started at about 16 MB but even with all the new components etc are 24 MB. Not svelt but not bad. Battery usage has consistently been lower than other comparable apps for doing similar things: Safari, Element Matrix Client, Messages, Photos, etc. I'm very pleasantly surprised by that. #flutter #FlutterDev #DartLang

I just started it and it under heavy development. I do hope to start early beta program access in the next several weeks to couple months. I’m writing it in Flutter so the platforms it will support will be: iOS, Android, Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Well, if you want to fire it up on your Flutter development machine feel free. It has all the desktop targets enabled already too. I am going to be changing the name and therefore URL location relatively soon since this isn't an official client so shouldn't have "Friendica" in the name: https://gitlab.com/mysocialportal/friendica_portal/
