Bubble Card 2

v2.4.0-beta.1

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to share the brand new v2.4.0-beta.1 with you! This release wouldn’t have happened without the amazing support from our community and contributors! A big thank you to everyone helping to grow and improve Bubble Card! 🍻

This release brings some great enhancements and fixes, and should be even more stable than v2.3.4!

Special thanks to @MrBearPresident for the great work on improving the editor! It's now even sexier and easier to use!

Here are the main highlights of this release:

💡 New features and enhancements

• Rewritten editor action panel:
  The action panel has been completely rewritten to leverage Home Assistant's default panel, improving compatibility and configuration in the editor! Finally! 🥳 PR #1076 by @MrBearPresident.

  

• Editor dropdown improvements:
  Entity and service names, along with icons, are now displayed in dropdown menus within the editor, making configurations easier. Fixes #1102. PR #1143 by @MrBearPresident

  

• Live update mode for pop-up slider headers:
  Sliders within pop-ups now support the "live update" mode in the editor. Fixes #1149. PR #1150 by @PhilPinsdorf.

✔️ Bug fixes and optimizations

• Dwains Dashboard compatibility:
  Added support for the Bubble Card editor within Dwains Dashboard. Fixes #1136.

• Pop-up new trigger issue:
  Fixed an issue where an empty pop-up trigger caused the pop-up to open after every page reload. #1134.

• Slider interaction fix:
  Taps and clicks on sliders now properly update entities when live updates are enabled. Fixes #1132. PR #1140 by @controlaltnerd.

• Horizontal button stack gradient issue:
  Corrected the gradient color rendering at the bottom of the screen in the horizontal button stack. Fixes #1139.

• CSS fixes for large 2-row layouts:
  Resolved visual inconsistencies in the large 2-row layout. Fixes #1109.

• Query Selector issue:
  Addressed a regression from v2.3.4 where card.querySelector in bubble-state failed to turn off icons. Fixes #1141.

• Code quality improvement:
  Improved structure for easier maintenance. PR #1158, #1159, and #1160 by @RubenVerborgh.

As this is a beta release, your feedback is critical to ensuring the stability and usability of v2.4.0. Please report any issues or share your thoughts.

Some new features should come later as well 🤞

Thank you for your continued support and contributions. Enjoy the update! 🍻

ℹ️ Bubble Card news

I’ve been wanting to start my own YouTube channel for a while, focusing on tutorials around Home Assistant and Bubble Card. There are two videos so far, an introduction explaining the project and a first tutorial on how to create your first pop-up. I really hope you will enjoy them. Don’t hesitate to subscribe to help give my channel more visibility. Thank you in advance!

The next video will cover the new global variables, as well as custom styles and templates, since I’ve noticed more and more questions on these topics.

Over the past year, I’ve been working almost everyday on Bubble Card to make it the best it can be, and I still don't believe how much it have grown in popularity. Watching the community getting this big and seeing so many people using my work has been incredibly rewarding.

I have another announcement to you all, I decided to create a Patreon as a way to offer something more for those who want to support me. On my Patreon, I share advanced YAML configurations, custom styles, and templates. For example, I’ve added one (my favorite) that allows up to four conditional badges placed around the card’s icons. It’s also a great way to learn about all the possibilities of Bubble Card custom styles and templates!

If you like my project and want to support its development, subscribing to my Patreon is probably the best way to help me keep the project going.

Also, let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback on this. Trying to find a way to monetize my work was not something I ever imagined doing, but I really hope you see it as a way to keep improving the project, and not as a negative step.

Thank you so much for being part of this amazing community, your support will always makes a huge difference! ❤️

I want to highlight that on the GitHub page, in the Discussions section, you can share and discover some amazing YAML examples from the community. Go check it out! Some of the creations are absolutely incredible!

And if you are interested I've opened a Subreddit for Bubble Card where I post my progress on the project. Here it is:
