One code for all. Partially at least

I've got development going with Flutter. A decent new kid on the block that I started to like. I feel like front end is like a new type of Nasi Lemak. It's just almost the same thing, the only difference is what you put on top of it to make it something else. Whether you like it with sotong, udang, ayam, Or you like it with your rendang. But, it's just almost the same thing. 

I found Flutter is also flattering. First, that the approach is almost like React. It's just different syntax. But what's good is it's not React, so I don't have to deal with JSX, Hooks. Not that I don't like, it's just that I've invested in Angular so much that taking on React is like achieving same thing with two different approaches. Nonetheless, I'm still coding with React until I realize I'm running out of time. 

Now, fortunately, I found out that Flutter can be compiled into a web. How convenient at inconvenient times!. Although it's running on beta,but .. I am hoping it's taking off some day. Not much thought that I put now except that as long as it could compile into the web, we can just serve it statically. That's good enough. 

I still keep a portion of the web with React. It doesn't matter. Keep the components up for their jobs, as long as the users are served with delightful user interfaces and awesome performances ! 

BTW, we're hosting this on AWS. I feel so much relieved. Why did I miss all these fun before? I hope it's not too late to join the party.!
