    I agree with your points. The search feature and multiple projects in the dashboard are a must for this tool.

    Thank you Adam, For the time & effort given to review this.
    At first was scared since everything was on the app site, till you put the plugin works independently on WP site.
    The component part, Just WOW WOW, I loved it, Damn!
    Promising product, I wish them the best. looking forward to this for more.

    Thanks for your overview, Adam! I'm normally using my own (SASS) files but especially the color and components preview is nice (even if I prever a code editor for full flexibility).
    But similar to ACSS, as a developer I feel a bit constrained and also dependent if I can't modify all things the way I want.
    24:16: I'm wondering why they doubled the output here, because max() and min() is a real compensation for clamp(), not just a fallback. And calc() insn't need inside clamp()... not a big deal but it bloat up the file size together with other variables you perhaps never need.
    So I am not yet completely convinced by the tool, but it is only the first version and maybe everything will be improved or extended.

      I hear you. I’m considering trying to recreate my own “framework” using this tool. If nothing else, it’ll be an interesting experiment.

    Useful! I'm starting to appreciate this tool. Oxyninja was a joy to work with previously. ACSS is a little expensive for what I do but this is nice.

    • @AdamLoweIO
      @AdamLoweIO  Рік тому

      It has a lot going for it. There are some v1.x issues to work through and that’s to be expected. The flexibility and ease of the framework builder is what really sets it apart in my mind.

      Ah, it’s nothing fancy at all. FrankenCSS would probably be the best way to describe it ;)
      I’m actually thinking of trying to add my defaults into Core Framework to see how the process looks. If I do that, I’ll document it and post the results.
      I’m also planning to do a video about my “tech stack”, so including some of the default CSS I use might go well as part of, or adjacent to, that.

      It’s in a state of disarray right now since I’m doing more things with block themes. I’m relying less on Sass and doing more with theme.json. Of course, give me a few months and I’ll probably change it all up again!

      I’m not comfortable saying anything definitive after only playing with CF for an hour or so. A lot of work went into both products and I think you’ll be happy with either. If I had to choose though, I’d go with CF since the framework and editor app are 100% free and they are only making money off Page Builder integrations. Also, the configurability of CF is impressive as hell.

    Great video! Why don't you use oxygen as your main builder any more?

    • @AdamLoweIO
      @AdamLoweIO  Рік тому +2

      Oxygen is a fine product, but I moved away from it for a combination of reasons. 1) The add-on ecosystem that made it usable was unstable and crumbled after Soflyy announced their Breakdance product, 2) I was having performance and system resource issues on larger sites with heavy traffic which prompted me to dive into the world of custom PHP-based themes, and 3) I found that standardizing on custom themes build in Pinegrow provided more benefits with with very few drawbacks aside from the learning curve.

      @@AyDeeSandra Bricks is probably your best bet for a dev-focused page builder these days. I worry about the quality and reliability of the 3rd party ecosystem, though. That's the problem with any of these solutions that has "bolted on" pieces. It's only as strong as its weakest link.
      FWIW, I've moved away from page bulders entirely and just use custom themes and the block editor (with custom blocks).

    how can i find out how dark/light mode works?

    • @AdamLoweIO
      @AdamLoweIO  Рік тому

      For that, you'd probably need to check with the developer. I've only toyed it with it and haven't done a deep enough dive. Dark/light mode is a challenging thing to implement though, and it goes beyond just having a framework that supports it.

    • @AdamLoweIO
      @AdamLoweIO  Рік тому

      I’ve only briefly used advanced themer. From what I can tell, there is a bit of overlap since AT can manage styles, classes and variables. But… AT isn’t a full framework, like this is. AT also offers a lot of other features that CF doesn’t.
      My gut says that the two would play together nicely, but that you should really evaluate your requirements to determine what you need rather than using both for no good reason.

    Appreciate the work and effort, but more than an hour to figure out if this tool is for me is a tough watch. Especially with the bombardment of add-ons / extensions / frameworks for Bricks that keep popping up. I'd prefer 1 faster paced 10 min recap of what it can do, who it is for, how it compares to similar tools - and maybe then do an in-depth video for those wanting that. Obviously, miles may vary here, and some people will love this. Not for me though.

      Oh, I get it, also hate long videos. This was a hastily thrown together UA-cam live and is definitely not meant to be an overview of the product or anything that would convince someone to use or not to use it. This was literally the 2nd time I had even seen it, so I wanted to do that on video just to capture my initial impressions as I stepped through it.
