Nice to see widget series again! Game development things are cool but not practical and u guys should make more "daily usacase" videos. For example performance tricks, advanced usage of widgets, more in depth etc. I think many devs are looking something like that. Good luck and looking forward!

Mostly the child position needs to be relative to its parent. Will be helpful to have the parent bounds in the overlyChildBuilder().

Oh my god, I can't believe i lost hours trying to make `Overlay` work, just to see there was this widget available. This is huge

I needed this for a website I built a while ago, it's going to save a lot of time.

just saw this on twitter and thought how this widget has made it easier for the new user orientation process on using the app

[fluxpert]

That's awesome. We can use it in the Onboarding Screen of App to show tips and how to use things like things. Awesome.
There are many more usages 0:59

This is way overdue! When was this introduced? We had to resort to community packages in the past and they didnt always work well.

Super helpful, this simplifies things a lot. Thank you!

The music at the end makes me think of Riders on the Storm by The Doors.

Can we somehow use this also as an alternative for stack? Or are the use cases totally different?
