It will be 3 years until Material 3 Expressive is in the Flutter SDK. It also will be 3 years until performant full liquid glass in the flutter SDK. So what do you do as a designer who has to compete with native app designs?

And no, one should not wait on the Flutter SDK team to separate the Material and Cupertino widgets into separate packages as that by itself may in fact take 3 years.

Google is not entirely telling you the full story. The web platform is the only platform where the flutter app is being run as somewhat a web app. That means on other platforms we have to deal with app users being exposed to other UX design languages.

So I want to present ways of making Material 3 Expressive the shell that adapts to different host platforms.
