For a personal project, I’m not exactly sure how to decide between cross-platform mobile frameworks (e.g. React Native, Ionic, Flutter, etc.).

I know a lot of it is use-case based, so as an example consider a highly simplified social media with creating posts with text and photo, editing your profile, and viewing/following others. What works best here and why?

For my project, I do have a web app as well built using NextJS, and I have a decent amount of experience with React. I’ve also used Flutter in the past and found it pretty easy to work with, but I’ve never tried my other options.

As far as I’m aware, most people generally recommend staying away from Ionic? I’m not exactly sure why that is or if that’s just an old sentiment.

Thanks!

    Use whatever is most enjoyable to you. You’ll be most productive working in a framework you like as opposed to one people online convinced you was “right”.

    Take an hour or two with each. Use whatever is clicking best with you.

    All these options are perfectly sound.
