I'm trying to decide whether to use Flutter or build a web app with React for a simple application I'm working on. I have no experience with Flutter but I do have a background in Java and C. On the other hand, I'm more familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Which option would allow me to deliver my app faster?

It depends on the features you're planning for your app. You could set up a basic web app in just a few hours using something like Vue or React. That could be a super fast route!
You could actually have a simple app up and running quicker with Flutter. Your experience in C and Java should help you pick up Dart with ease. Both Flutter and React Native utilize a declarative UI, so you'll find a small learning curve, no matter which you choose. I started learning Flutter with a great tutorial I found—definitely worth checking out!
If speed is your main concern, I'd suggest going with what you already know. Since you have HTML, CSS, and JS skills, you should be able to crank out a web app pretty quickly. Plus, lots of tutorials out there can help you get your app delivered fast.
I'd lean towards using a web app since you have prior experience. But honestly, for very simple apps, it might not make a huge difference either way.
