Why Shorebird Exists: Filling Flutter Gaps

This week we have Eric Seidel, co-creator of Flutter and founder of Shorebird. Eric shares his journey from building WebKit at Apple and Chrome at Google to creating Flutter, a multi-platform UI framework that compiles to native code. We talk about the technical challenges of browser engines, why the web couldn't deliver high-quality mobile apps, and how Shorebird is solving Flutter's code push problem to enable instant app updates without app store approval.
