Which GitHub issue would that be?

And if it's not clear: Definitely like Flutter. If I were currently in search of a side project, I'd definitely consider Flutter bigtime. Just wanted to reiterate that since I'm talking to the foremost Darter among us.

PS would you like to moderate the Dart tag?

I was thinking on what you said below:

seeing that the resolution lied in a GitHub issue that had been open since 2016

I've been working on a Flutter app and wanted to see if that Github issue will affect me too.

Sure, wouldn't mind moderating Dart tag

I sort of forget the context I was even in, but I believe this was the issue:

Inline Android and iOS WebView #730

Presumably this requires some compositor work, similar to maps or video?

Towards the bottom it actually looks like progress has been made. I took this as a cue to trend more towards mature tech for a project that didn't really need Flutter.

Made you a Dart mod. Individual comment mods is still a pretty new thing, but you get access to this one additional permission: dev.to/t/dart/edit

More permissions coming as we build new features. Feel free to DM me with any questions along the way.

As the plugin for webviews is already available. I guess one can come up with a version of dev.to in Flutter.

Yes. The issues I ran into were in the details. I got enough info to conclude I wanted to go in a different direction, but others might find different outcomes.
