<p><a href="http://flutter.dev">Flutter</a> is an <a href="https://www.learn-dev-tools.blog/what-does-open-source-software-mean-a-beginners-guide/">Open source</a> toolkit used to build expressively beautiful, natively compiled applications in a single code base. One of its benefits and why I will encourage you to use it in your project is the fact that you can build amazing UI and fancy animations. You also have the possibility to build an app that will run on different operating systems. The factor is commonly known as cross-platform. But apart from this why should you learn Flutter in 2023?</p>
