Hey all,

We had hoped to ship another beta today with the ability to create Dev Packs, but unfortunately we’ve just ran out of time 😮‍💨

However, the work on this has been going great, and it’s getting very exciting. Here’s a sneaky screenshot from the internal build I’m running 🤓

 ![CleanShot 2024-11-29 at 6 .38.40@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/1/3/130abfcdb7d393dd39952d6947f3f7b71e6427e5.jpeg)

When we ship this in beta 23 next week, you’ll be able to create external packs, load them into Elements and update them on the fly with your text editor of your choice (It’s how we build the built-in components. In the screenshot I’m using Nova).

I’ll do a video on how this all works, and how to move your Custom Components over to an Element Dev Packs next week — don’t worry, it’s SUPER easy!

Have a great weekend, and let me know if you have any questions in the meantime ✌

If you’re interested in building Components for Elements, you might want to keep an eye on this new GitHub repository 🤓
