Our Flutter Web support and ORM support are top of the bill this month. We’re also welcoming two new team members joining us on our mission to make local-first the easiest architecture for app development — welcome **Mugi K** and **Christiaan L**!

We saw a record number of new users sign up for PowerSync in February, in line with growing interest in local-first software development. **Carl K** wrote about how the [local-first DX benefits from simpler state management](https://intuitably.com/epiphanies/2024/02/23/flutter) while **Simon Grimm** says that _local-first is the future_ ; check out his video below:

## **Flutter Web Support: Open Alpha Release**

Our goal is to be a stack-agnostic sync layer, so incorporating web support for Flutter apps is a major milestone for us. Now Flutter developers can use the same Dart codebase to build local-first web and mobile apps. As with our JavaScript Web SDK, the Flutter Web implementation utilizes a virtual file system (VFS) interface to persist SQLite data in the browser storage (IndexedDB by default).

Thanks to **Giorgio G** and **Ben C** for spurring us on and providing valuable feedback on our first release.

## **ORM Integrations: Drift and Kysely**

We plan to add ORM support to each of our client SDKs, starting with Flutter and JavaScript. For Flutter, we have alpha support for using the popular **Drift persistence library (ORM)** with the PowerSync Flutter SDK. For JavaScript apps, our React Native and Web SDKs can now be used with **Kysely Query Builder**. 

Thanks to **Simon B** , **Rody D** , **Josh S** and **Steven B** for their help, thoughts and guidance.

## **Dashboard Update: Granular Deploy Statuses**

![](https://powersync.com/images/blog/powersync-update-february-2024-inline-becc40fec5.png)

This small but mighty UX update brings more granular deploy statuses to the deploy logs in your PowerSync dashboard. Logs now show one of four explicit statuses:

  * “No replication errors”
  * “Processing sync rules”
  * “Warning: No connection configured”
  * “Warning: No sync rules deployed”

## **Temporary Development Tokens**

Support for temporary developer tokens allows you to get up and running with PowerSync quickly, without implementing a full auth solution. This is particularly relevant for non-Supabase projects.

Thanks to **Carl K** for helping us think through this.

## **February Community Call**

We held our first community call of 2024, with **Dom B** demoing the new PowerSync CLI, **Conrad** walking us through a CRDT implementation on PowerSync, and **Husain B** and **Matt W** showing off **Jetpack Travel,** a cross-platform travel management app built with PowerSync. We also covered our current roadmap priorities.
