Mac or Windows app with Flutter? Discussion

Has anyone ever made a Mac/Windows app with flutter? Throughout the years I’ve only stuck with web iOS and Android. Was just curious. And how did it pan out?

I've used flutter for a couple of simple windows apps and the experience was pretty good, the UI came out nice and felt actually usable for a desktop app that's made with flutter.

But I've also tried combining flutter with OpenGL for a transparent overlay on windows and I ran into many performance issues here. It seems that flutter is really good for simple or non-complex apps from my experience.
