Bubble Card 3

v3.1.0-beta.7

Hi everyone!

I spent a lot of time testing every feature in this beta, and while doing so I also discovered several new issues that had not been reported yet, on top of the ones submitted by all of you. This release is the result of all that testing, fixing, and polishing.

For module developers:
Please make sure to update your modules to support the new “Sub-buttons only” card. You can now even use the “All” setting to make this easier and future-proof.

I really hope I can ship the final version before the end of the year. The reason is also a very happy one, I will very (very) soon become a dad for the second time and I couldn’t be happier about that! ❤️ My development time will be heavily impacted for a while, so I’m doing my best to wrap things up properly before that!

Even with the holidays coming up, I really hope I can still get some feedback from you so we can make this release as solid as possible!

Thank you all for the support and the continued help! 🍻

💡 New features and enhancements

• API limit warning in Module Store
  When the GitHub API rate limit is reached after many refreshes, a warning is shown and cached content is displayed instead.

• Improved object selector for modules
  A new and better object selector replaces the default Home Assistant one in modules that use it (like Bubble Badges 2), shows changes live, and finally supports the attribute selector correctly.

• “Enable unsupported modules” option in editor
  Added a toggle in the Modules section to enable modules that aren’t yet marked as supporting certain card types (great for “Sub-buttons only” cards).

• Sub-button pop-up toggle behavior
  Pressing a sub-button that navigates to a pop-up now closes it when pressed again. #1999

✔️ Bug fixes and improvements

• Sub-button fill_width conflict fixed
  Setting fill_width on multiple sub-buttons in the same row no longer conflicts and display correctly. #2016

  ⚠️ This could change visually some current configurations that were displayed wrongly, if it’s the case just disable fill_width on that sub-button.

• Global modules enabled across all cards
  Global modules now correctly show as enabled (not greyed out) on all cards in the editor. #2027

• Module Store improvements
  The Module Store now shows cards for the “Sub-buttons only” card type.

• Sub-button layout issue
  Improved styling of sub-buttons so they no longer clip text or behave unexpectedly in layouts. #2002

• Height and sub-buttons layout fix
  Custom styles or modules that affect card height now work correctly when sub-buttons are added.

• Vertical slider mobile behavior
  Fixed an issue where sliding in the vertical slider layout sometimes didn’t work properly on mobile.

• Module Store filtering issues
  Fixed some filtering problems in the Module Store so search results behave more reliably.

• Modules editor UI fixes
  Resolved an issue where the code editor panel could deform the layout.

• Module Store version comparison issue
  Fixed version comparison bugs in the modules editor.

• Menu clarity in modules editor
  The “Create new Modules” and “Import from YAML” menu now hides when “Import from YAML” is selected to avoid confusion.

• Bottom sub-button editing freeze
  Fixed a case where editing bottom sub-buttons could freeze the GUI. #2007

• Bubble Card Tools detection fix
  Fixed an issue where Bubble Card Tools wasn’t detected occasionally when entering the Modules section in the editor.

• Pop-ups optimized (again)
  General pop-up performance optimizations.

• Dropdown menus issues
  Fixed various problems with dropdown menus, including modules like “Custom dropdown (Labels, icons, colors, actions…)”.

• Home Assistant side menu conflict with sub-button only footer
  Resolved a conflict between the HA side menu and the “Sub-button only” footer layout. #2010

• subButtonState[x] variable fix
  Fixed the subButtonState[x] variable not working anymore in some configurations. #2008

ℹ️ Bubble Card news

Over the past years, 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.

This is why I decided to create a Patreon as a way to offer something more for those who want to support me. A few days ago, I refreshed my Patreon with two new modules: Bubble Badges v2 (unlimited badges on any sub-button or the main icon) and Bubble Weather (animated weather backgrounds with daily/hourly forecasts). The custom dropdown module is still there if you want full control over labels, icons, and actions on select cards and sub-buttons.

I’m also finally happy with my own dashboard, built entirely with Bubble Card v3.1.0-beta and only new custom modules I've been working on for months! Like one that adds unique colors and styles to all cards, one for the weather, one for graphs, square cards, time... I’ll release more of these modules soon, with a detailed post on Patreon and a new YouTube video. I would love to know what you think!

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

I’ve been wanting to start my own YouTube channel for a while, focusing on tutorials around Home Assistant and Bubble Card, and I really hope you will enjoy my videos. Don’t hesitate to subscribe to help give my channel more visibility. Thank you in advance!

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:
