Bubble Card 3

v3.2.0-beta.3

Hi everyone!

This beta is a smaller update compared to the big pop-up rework from the previous betas. By the way, if you missed the initial release notes, please read them before updating.

I focused again on pop-up performance (yeah again, especially on iOS), drag and zoom behavior, backdrop and cleanup logic, dialog rendering, header refresh reliability, and a few remaining navigation and layout issues with the new system. Everything should feel faster and (buttery) smooth (even more)!

I'm really confident about this release, and if you use pop-ups a lot, this is again the beta I would love feedback on most!

And now, here is everything that is new in this beta:

✔️ Bug fixes and improvements

• Pop-up performance improvements (again!):
  Refined standalone pop-up lifecycle handling, cleanup, backdrop updates and style changes to keep pop-ups faster and more stable on low-tier devices.

• Horizontal pan after zoom in pop-ups:
  You can now move horizontally inside zoomed pop-ups. #2199

• Pop-up header refresh:
  Pop-up headers now refresh correctly when they display relative time values.

• Improved pop-up "swipe to close":
  Refined touch tracking and reopen handling when you swipe from the header of a pop-up. #2356

• Empty column row support:
  Empty column now supports row-based sizing, making it clickable in editor mode inside pop-ups. #2350

• Dialog pop-up rendering fix:
  Fixed rendering issues with buttons inside dialog pop-ups, especially on Safari.

• Pop-up header template fix:
  Fixed icon template issues in pop-up headers. #2350 #2362

• Pop-up style selector fixes:
  Fixed style leakage inside pop-ups so nested cards and sub-buttons keep their correct styles. #2350

• Horizontal buttons stack navigation regression fix:
  Fixed navigation issues for standard links and pop-up hash links in the horizontal buttons stack. #2352

• Better backdrop and cleanup behavior:
  Improved backdrop transitions, background color updates and cleanup processes during pop-up lifecycle changes.

• More regression coverage:
  Added more automated tests for pop-up runtime, header refresh, interaction and navigation flows, which should help keep the next versions much more stable.

Bubble News 🍻

Over the past few years, I’ve been working on Bubble Card almost every day to make it the best it can be, and I still can’t believe how much it has 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. Over the past few months, I’ve released 5 modules that are easily configurable in the editor, like any other feature:

• Bubble Badges 2 - Unlimited badges on any sub-button or the main icon
• Bubble Weather - Animated weather backgrounds with daily/hourly forecasts
• Bubble Calendar Enhanced - Add time and date on buttons or calendar cards with customizable layout options
• Bubble Neon - A dynamic theme that automatically assigns unique vibrant colors to each Bubble Card
• Custom dropdown - 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 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:
