On mobile there seems to be a few performance issues (render blocking resources, no explicit width and height on images, etc), but the lighthouse scores are looking good! Any thoughts about enabling **basic** PWA support (install w/icon, caching resources via worker, etc)? ![CleanShot 2024-06-05 at 09.29.18@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/f/5/f52bbd1449df1b124362e78b8d3a648abb33492d.png) ---

HI Dan & Team First congratulations on the 20th Anniversary. Good to see your first Elements web page. Pity someone can’t spell 😉 – but I hope you “achive” your dream. You seem pretty well there. 😊 Colin ---

PWA’s always seem to be problematic from an accessibility perspective, above my pay grade but one of the main issues is that the PWA images can not be named and so don’t work for a screen reader? regards Guy ---

Quick question for anyone - what is a good or great form coder to integrate with Elements? Some of them out there are pretty pricy to use. Or do I have to go old school and hand-code a form? ---

There’s also [Zoho Forms](https://www.zoho.com/forms/) which has a free tier. I imagine there will be some native form elements for RapidWeaver at some point, probably after stable release, either built-in or via the elements store (or both). A contact form is pretty essential to most websites. ---

We have spoken about forms internally and we have some really cool ideas… however, I’m not sure we’ll have anything for the initial alpha release. It is obviously something we want to include, so I expect we’ll look at forms in the not too distant future 😊 ---

Congratulations on 20 year’s anniversary! You’re right I do miss the boxed versions of software and games. Perhaps when you build the next version of RW in about 20 years time boxed versions will reappear just like music records did.😉 ---

I wanted us to get the mobile score up to 100 across the board before we mentioned this 😆 However, this does show how we’ve built a system that allows anyone to easily build a page/site that scores well in these types of tests. All the elements that will ship with RapidWeaver will have performance considerations build in - our goal is for everyone to able to easily build beautiful sites that are performant “by default”. We will likely share more info around this in the coming weeks 😃 ---

It’s probably 20 years since I was in Paris for the MacExpo and was introduced to Rapidweaver there. A design programme, which you could design with no knowledge of html! I was immediately sold and have been building beautiful websites with Rapidweaver for 20 years now. Thanks and congratulations! ---

I haven’t been a part of this community or updated my website since March 2018. It’s a testament to RW that my website still works great 6 + years later! One of these days I will get back to it and I’m sure I will have to update all software, but it’s nice to know you will still be here for support. Thanks, guys!
