- Hot Reload: Make changes to the code and see the results instantly without restarting the app.
- Rich Widget Library: Customizable widgets for creating visually appealing and responsive user interfaces.
- Native Performance: Flutter apps compile to ARM or Intel machine code, ensuring fast performance.
