Is that ok? Allowed? Do I need to have a dev account? Does it need to be signed? Or will it work for people? Sorry to ask such basic questions… ---

I think you will find like a lot of us who have given away projects free in the past that you have to apply to put things on store as per [Join the Partner Program | Store | RapidWeaver Elements Docs](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/store/partners/join-the-partner-program) We are all waiting to find out how we can add free things. ---

Still waiting for this [https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/rapidweaver-elements-the-road-ahead/55124?u=upssjw](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/rapidweaver-elements-the-road-ahead/55124) In the meantime we want to build in support for sharing of free components. We think this will help meaningfully grow the Elements user base and give everyone access to a much wider range of building blocks. ---

@dan please could you update this support for sharing of free components will happen, or is it no longer an option ---

Short side note… needed to fix / update the component.. Would not work in mobile - bug in iframe won’t show past the first page… Needed to change the code for all phone devices… Works great now - 70 mb 350+ page book doing great ![IMG_1750](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/4/6/46af03218dd7920deee66a4579198e4652063fe9.jpeg) ---

Yes, this is amazing. I just had a live search component developed in 1 hour with some back and forth. To extend the possibilities of Elements this way is really great. Still I would buy a component if possible just to have a decent design and from someone who understands what the code is doing exactly. But for now, it works great.
