Flutter

Flutter is a fairly new app development framework that was developed by Google and utilized the Dart programming language. Flutter has many benefits to it that we are looking for in an app development framework such as a hot reloading feature which is very helpful in developing the software.
Another thing Flutter has that is important to us is portability as it can run on virtually any device with a screen on it. Following this, Flutter also has accessibility options which are very important to us so we can make the UI as use friendly as possible for our audience.
