Bubble Card 3

v3.2.0-beta.5

Hi everyone!

This beta release took longer than I expected, but you won't be disappointed! By the way (again), if you missed the initial release notes, please read them before updating.

I'm repeating myself, but this release is probably the end of my endless optimization war against my beloved pop-ups. My goal was to get instant and smooth transitions, even on older devices, and this time I truly believe it couldn't be much better. This was tested on multiple Android and iOS devices, and if you still experienced slowness in the previous betas, this release should definitely feel a lot faster! 🥳

I also did my best to fix the remaining pop-up issues, fixed the missing editor fields since the HA 2026.5 release (I'm late, and sorry for that!), and improved sliders on Android too.

All these changes finally make Bubble Card much faster to load, and everything should feel snappier than ever ❤️

I can't wait for your (positive) feedback, and let's hope this beta will be the last one! 🤞

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

✔️ Bug fixes and improvements

• Fixed missing editor fields in Home Assistant 2026.5:
  Restored missing editor fields introduced in new Home Assistant release. #2391

• Improved pop-up performance and animations (agaiiiin):
  Refactored pop-up animations, backdrop handling and layout updates to make transitions much smoother and more responsive, especially on older/slower devices.

• Optimized pop-up rendering and style updates:
  Cached computed styles and deferred unnecessary layout reads during animations to improve framerate and reduce rendering overhead.

• Fixed backdrop synchronization:
  Fixed synchronization issues when using custom styles.

• Fixed scrolling and touch handling issues on Android:
  Fixed slider drag detection issues on Android. #2390 #2210 #2167

• Improved hash navigation and focus handling:
  Refactored hash navigation event logic for pop-ups. #2386

• Added extra protection in the pop-up editor:
  Added a security check to prevent cards from accidentally erasing the pop-up configuration. #2381

• Fixed config issues when switching pop-up modes:
  Fixed a configuration error that could happen when switching from "Default" to "Bubble" pop-ups.

• And more...

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:
