Late last month, the Microsoft Power Platform Customer Advisory Team (PowerCAT) released the Power Apps Creator Kit, which is a set of prebuilt controls and components to assist both citizen and professional developers in their journey of developing Canvas Apps and Custom Pages.

Whether you are new to developing Canvas Apps or are experienced, the Power Apps Creator Kit from the PowerCAT team has been a big talk in the community. The toolkit provides a list of pre-built controls and components that can be used to design and develop your Canvas Apps and Custom Pages.
In the last few months, I have been working on a migration project for a customer from a legacy system to Dataverse, and one of the functionalities included an embedded Canvas app containing multiple screens and quite a bit of functionality. The main issue that was encountered is that within some geographical regions it was taking a longer time than expected to load the app.
