Why Dawn Exists

• I really like Flutter's approach (StatelessWidget, StatefulWidget, State<T>, etc.), but I didn't find it easy at all to develop custom UIs in Flutter compared to HTML and CSS. See this issue on GitHub.
• Flutter web is great but it hugely suffers from initial loading performance.

I decided to make something that has the best of both worlds. The ease of developing custom UIs quickly with the elegant approach of Flutter, without compromising the performance.
