Ionic and Flutter are two such frameworks that utterly confuse the app creators striving hard to pick a framework for architecting cross-platform applications.

Ionic primarily focuses on the front-end UX and UI interaction and hence plays a vital role in handling the look and feel of an app.

It was created in May 2017 and is currently managed by Google with the help of an ECMA standard.

They are as follows:Both build cross-platform applications that run on desktops, mobiles as well as the web.Both employ a single codebase to create interactive and high-performing apps.Both impart an incredible native look and feel as their primary focus lies in creating UI frameworks for native platforms.Both frameworks have a well-organized documentation for developers.Differences between Ionic and Flutter app development servicesNow let’s explore the differences between Ionic and Flutter based on the following parameters.Skillset: Market valueThe skillset required to use Ionic involves learning JavaScript and other general web technologies that are needed for any web app development project regardless of the framework used.

Moreover, Flutter posseses a highly-custom environment.

Furthermore, the requirement for Dart developers in the coming years largely depends on whether the newbie Flutter, will succeed as a viable solution in the future.Hence, acquiring an Ionic skillset proves to be a safer bet for a developer.

The term- ‘Blockchain’ was first coined in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto- an individual, or a group of people- its identity is not known till date.

In this blog, I will discuss with you different types of Blockchain projects existing in the decentralized economy, along with a few basics of Blockchain technology and some vital benefits of Blockchain app development.

This underlying technology is here to stay for decades to come as it offers advantages like the below:Open-sourceEasy to useHigh-speed TransactionsDecentralization and ImmutabilityElevated Traceability and TransparencyLesser Frauds, Security Threats and Risks, etc.AuditabilityTop-grade SecurityBetter Accessibility to Important DataAutomatic reconciliation of AccountsImproved EfficiencyHigher IntegrityReliability and TrustworthinessWith the increasing demand for Blockchain technology, businesses are trying to adopt it in various forms.

These Blockchain Projects are usually led by single companies, either used for in-house applications or with a few limited partners.

They represent the companies as modern and futuristic, so the chance of getting prospective customers increases.However, the companies going with such projects must be aware of ‘FOMO backlash.’ It means that if the project is poorly planned and fails in the long term, the company’s reputation can be at stake.Opportunistic ProjectsThese kinds of projects are usually meant to solve issues related to record-keeping or any known problems.

It takes lesser time and effort comparatively to decide the point at which the food items were replaced/adulterated, the person responsible for this, and its further prevention.
