    framer made webflow wake up from its deep sleep.
    I love webflow and I'm rooting for it!
    Framer is currently moving fast with lots of new features.
    What could you tell me about this?
    Thanks for the video

    Interesting. I've been plotting away from Webflow actually. I'm an earky supporter, but their price increases and convoluted plans have lost me. Pity as I still enjoy working with the UI. Will keep an eye on it.

      I think your issue of price is one shared by many. It’s a different subject altogether but what might help is working out your return on investment of the tool. As people who get paid for what they do, we all have to swallow payments on less than ideal things and it’s up to us to figure that out. Assuming you’re hosting your own website as I’m just paying for a freelancer account and don’t host any of my own sites on Webflow.

      @@webflowandcodeYes, have to factor in ROI of today, but there's also the issue the time and energy costs of learning closed / gated tools that could have their pricing structures overhauled in a moment. These pricing changes were bad enough, but there could still be more ahead in the future with their new investors. I've been trying to use more open tools, or build my own where possible.

    I'm looking for a webpage development tool that will provide an intuitive LAYOUT mechanism (using flexbox, grid, bootstrap, etc) that's drag and drop and resizable in real time. There does not seem to exist such a tool which is rather shocking (to me) given how fundamental that is to a web page's structure.

      Yes but what I’m referring to is; are Webflow, under the hood using React to render the component or does the entire site pre-render. Are network/API requests made before page load

      @@webflowandcode the biggest issue they had was with V2’s api, essentially API calls were limited to call per minute, meaning if you’re running a SaaS website that runs on Webflow and it’s api, only 1 user was allowed to have 1 interaction per minute on your entire website. That took ~2 weeks to fix, I’m sure that’s caused a huge rift with their enterprise customers and will likely lead to some serious financial losses for Webflow as businesses try and mitigate this kind of event happening in the future, which likely means leaving Webflow and creating their own CMS systems.

    Been using webflow since....2014....my site has been just sitting there. I come back to work on it and damn, the things I wanted to do 8 years ago I still can't do. Why is it so hard to drive elements like dropdowns, lightboxes, and other sliders with collections. Sure - you can do it with custom code but seriously, what have they been doing all this time. And yeah - my prices have gone up to do the exact same thing that I was doing in 2014. Grrrr.

    • @webflowandcode
      @webflowandcode  Рік тому

      Is your issue combining interactions with collection lists?
      There’s a lot the tool can’t do but there’s also a lot it can do. It obviously hasn’t just remained stagnant for 8 years! We just find our own wants/needs for a specific tool to fill and each project can be different. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad. Just not for you!
