How to get a good answer

Search first: your question may already have an accepted answer.
Use a title that names the problem, e.g. "Laravel 12 migration fails on MySQL 8".
Paste the code you tried and the full error message, not a screenshot of it.
Say what you expected to happen and what happened instead.
Never share passwords, API keys or private data.
When an answer solves it, mark it as accepted so others can find it.

Flutter or React Native for a startup MVP?

We need an app on both Android and iOS within 3 months. Small team, mostly web developers. Which framework would you recommend and why?

Both are solid. Flutter gives more consistent UI across platforms; React Native lets you reuse web skills. For a 3-month MVP we usually pick whatever the team already knows.

Set DB_CONNECTION=mysql, DB_HOST=127.0.0.1, DB_PORT=3306, DB_DATABASE=your_db, DB_USERNAME=root and leave DB_PASSWORD empty (XAMPP default).
