To what extent is gtk needed for flutter apps? #542

|
Hi, ubuntu folks! The app is a very neat, the design is awesome! Keep up great work! I wanted to ask this on discourse, but strangely can't find the "Compose" button there (is it missing for the new users?) To what extent is gtk needed? I noticed that flutter apps depend on gtk3 and gtk3-dev. Still, I think flutter and skia do the rendering. What is gtk3 for? Is it there for some theming constants or for something more? Sorry again, you may close the issue of course @jpnurmi @Feichtmeier @oSoMoN |

Hi, thanks for the nice words
This is the short answer from a flutter not-super-pro like me
The GTK window provides the canvas where flutter can draw in
Also GTK provides non visual functionalities such as keyboard input and accessibility
For a answer from the flutter Devs I recommend this overview:
