platform_ui served us well. It quenched our initial thirst for platform cohesive UI for Spotube
But the results are not good enough. Most users found it annoying, and it caused over 30+ UI related issues to be opened, which Spotube never faced during its development time. Although, Linux users liked and embraced the Libadwaita look 'n feel, for other platforms it was a different story
This doesn't mean Spotube stopped aiming for platform specific UI. But it's just not the right time.
platform_uiis in its early development lifecycle, not production ready. And my mistake was to use it in a production application. Though, it was a fun experience and probably one of the greatest achievement for both Flutter and Spotube, we've to prioritize usability over gimmickThus, for now, we're removing
platform_uifrom Spotube in the hope one dayplatform_uiwill be so stable that it'll make Flutter feel like native QT/Gtk, Windows, iOS, macOS and Android app
