It's Not Just Liquid Glass
summary
Argues that Flutter can deliver truly tactile UIs by combining existing tools into physics‑driven pieces: uses fragment shader + Impeller and backdrop filter to make a working Liquid Glass blur that distorts the background, custom painter and render objects for magnifiers, and a new motor package that exposes motion controllers, converters and sequences to drive spring simulation across multi‑dimensional state. Demonstrations include a fluid card stack and physics page view that stay smooth under fast gestures but warn that springs can be hard to configure and scale.
