Really hope this project succeeds as somebody heavily invested in a Flutter app with a Rust backend Dioxus could be great for us so we will continue to follow closely.
Flutters hot reloading is awesome but some days I feel like it is death by a thousand cuts working with Flutter (so many unresolved bugs) so to have a cross-platform framework that wouldn't require Flutter and Dart would be great.
Same! I inherited a Flutter app from a previous team, and while it's OK it feels kind of like developing on a Galapagos island — by which I mean, we'll never use Dart in any other context, and Flutter's web story doesn't really work for most kinds of apps).
I think Dioxus actually fits into a fairly unique set of slots. There's Tauri, with which it shares a lot of stuff, but Tauri's web story is mostly "build it yourself". There's Leptos, which arguably has a better web app story, but lacks most of the rest.
It is also heartening to see how these projects really do share a lot of the building blocks and don't seem to be overly competitive.

Wish the Dioxus team a lot of success!
