                      1. > will provide a framework that takes full advantage of all that the web platform offers Yes, the web is a platform. Will flutter keep up with platform advancements? Will it diverge as Flutter is a platform on top of a platform? @timsneath/1255512622457401344

                      > feel completely at home in a browser Since the web has always been an "anything goes" platform in terms of UI, what matters most is performance and URL handling [I can't stand when back button doesn't work, or permalinks (deep links in mobile terminology) don't exist]

                > Debugging is a crucial step in the development process Very much, yes. But, once again, becomes a point of platform divergence

            > DomCanvas offers the greatest compatibility with a wide variety of browsers, with a compact code size This more "native web". Though, from my understanding, it does things in such a way that is fragile for making changes or integrating from outside the Flutter platform.

          > The CanvasKit backend offers superior performance, fidelity, and correctness, but it has poor initial startup time due to a larger code size. I was surprised when the went DomCanvas first as I expected Skia on web first. Also, perfect timing for web games to migrate off Flash

    > we’re looking into possibilities to cache some of this logic to reduce startup time and download size Any bets on when we see a Flutter update prompt à la Flash, Silverlight, JRE? 😜 Seriously, I worry for people on slow networks, old devices, etc. Web is already too bloated.
