 If you've been following us (Axcito) for some time now, you may have noticed that our logo has remained the same for a while. While we're proud of our history, we also recognize that it's important to keep things fresh and current. That's why we're excited to announce that a new logo is coming! Our design team has been hard at work, pouring over hundreds of designs in an effort to create a new logo that truly represents who we are as a company. It's not an easy task, as a logo is essentially a visual representation of a company's identity.

 At Axcito mobile app developments, in few recent projects we opted for Flutter because it is a cross-platform mobile development framework that is open source and was developed by Google.  It utilizes Dart, which is also developed by Google. What caught our attention about Flutter were its UI widgets that provide a native look and feel, its high-performance cross-platform framework inspired by React, and its fast debugging capabilities with stateful hot reload. Moreover, Flutter offers additional features that we will delve into further.  Flutter's performance is one of its major advantages due to its utilization of the Dart programming language, known for its speed and efficiency. This enables smooth and swift app performance, even on older devices. Another advantage is the use of widgets in building the user interface, which facilitates quicker and more efficient development. With Flutter's pre-compiled widgets, the app's performance is not impacted by the device's p...
