It does not use flutter. To my understanding flutter is a cross platform UI framework. You can already get notifications on Android and the desktop through the browser. So the only thing missing is iOS, right?

So I think flutter would not work, because messaging stuff is pretty platform specific (web/Android/iOS). For instance, Android is very particular about not having background services and such, so I think that'd be tricky with an abstraction framework. So for now I'll stick with native.

Plus, I don't have an iPhone anyway, so I'd have no way to test the app. I'm inviting you or anyone else to make an iOS app if you can :-D That'd be awesome.

@binwiederhier Flutter can also have background service implementation for receiving notifications.
