The big issue with Flutter on the Web is if the app acts like it is a part of the web, with selectable text. Otherwise it feels like an Abobe Flash substitute: good for some type of applications, not so for others.

Inspectable source code would also be desirable.

What's the status on selectable text?

Early days, but this release offers selectable text, right-click context menu provided by the browser.

During development, source code is JavaScript with source maps for debugging the original Dart code from the likes of Chrome DevTools. We also have a production compiler that generates optimized JavaScript when you're ready to deploy.
