If the Wikimedia Commons app was made in Flutter, it could potentially benefit the organization in several ways:

Improved user experience: Flutter allows developers to create smooth and responsive user interfaces with a native look and feel. By developing the Commons app in Flutter, Wikimedia could potentially improve the user experience of the app, making it more intuitive and easier to use.

Faster development time: Flutter's "hot reload" feature allows developers to quickly see changes to the app in real-time, making it faster to iterate on and develop new features. This could potentially speed up the development time of the Commons app, allowing Wikimedia to release new updates and features more frequently.

Cross-platform compatibility: Flutter allows developers to create apps that work on both Android and iOS devices, potentially reaching a wider audience. By developing the Commons app in Flutter, Wikimedia could potentially increase the app's user base and engagement.

Community contributions: Flutter is an open-source framework with a growing community of developers. By developing the Commons app in Flutter, Wikimedia could potentially attract new contributors to the project, who could help improve and maintain the app over time.

Overall, developing the Commons app in Flutter could potentially improve the user experience, speed up development time, increase cross-platform compatibility, and attract new contributors to the project, all of which could benefit the Wikimedia organization in achieving its mission of making knowledge freely available to everyone

As mentioned by Nicolas, it would be great to see you progressing on it.

There was an effort on the same some time ago but it has been halted now. The corresponding code is in the following repo: https://github.com/commons-app/commons

It could be a good start.
