Cool - how is the WebView support?

I have a project that will require a WebView in the app.

Also I downloaded Flutter a while back and noticed a lot of buggy / unintuitive behavior with their TextViews (multi-line specifically) such as with copying and pasting, selecting text, etc.

Do you know whether these components have matured?

I found this: https://github.com/dart-flitter/flutter_webview_plugin

Looks rather hacky.

I've used this for pop-up dialogs. Works fine and I've had no issues on various sites which certainly have gross amounts of js. It shouldn't be long before the Flutter team provides a WebView widget.

I had some similar experiences with multiline text controls in the summer of last year, but it seemed to improve by around the fall. Not quite sure of the current state but it seemed to be improving.

(Overall it was still super worth it to use flutter at the time)
