This is a great video man! I get a lot of developers in my community asking me similar questions, and I know there's so much power under the hood in Wix Studio, so I'll be sharing this video more with my dev friends. Great job!

Thanks! This is a useful glimpse at an alternative approach, with a well thought-out dynamic example any js dev can try for themselves. In under 5 mins! This was easy to follow along with, too (once I took note that wix and wix studio were separate tools).

If you are a dev growing your agency in Wix with Velo is very easy because many people want some custom functionalities

This is so cool! I wonder if this new Wix/vscode editor builds on top of the work Codux (by Wix) is doing?

Wix is an Israeli company, please boycott it
