🔥 I'm working on a popup playground that will showcase all the built-in options for popups + custom ones!

🔥 Dart 3.4 & Flutter 3.22

This release, specially planned for Google I/O, includes numerous amazing features, key highlights below!

Dart
🔥🔥🔥 Enhancements in WebAssembly, aimed at full WASM support in pure Dart apps.
🔥🔥🔥 @JsonCodable macros are in preview (in master), adding toJson and fromJson functionality. The team continues to invest in the macro system, allowing developers to create their own macros.
🔥 Analyzer completion improvements - closed over 50% of bugs.

Flutter
🚀🚀🚀 Full support for WebAssembly in Flutter apps! Rendering time is improved by 2-3x. Web apps became more performant.
🚀 Engine improvements - Impeller is feature-complete on Android. Improved performance for blurs and complex paths like SVG or Lottie animations.
🚀 Transformation of assets using Dart packages - users can now configure Dart packages to transform their app’s assets as they are bundled (see https://docs.flutter.dev/ui/assets/asset-transformation).
🚀 Platform Views became more reliable and performant on Android and iOS.
Android now supports predictive back.
🚀 DevTools now provides tool to validate deep links.
Material design updates include new surface colors, the removal of background, onBackground, and surfaceVariant, and adjustments to ColorScheme.fromSeed to align with Material 3 guidelines. Additionally, Material 2 text styles and colors are being phased out.

🔥 A new article about popups is coming next week!

In the meantime, I have created a custom popup that positions follower widget relatively to a target and prevents it from overflowing the screen.
