Dev Diary Ep48 - The Elements Beta Is Growing

Thanks for the feedback, it’s always appreciated!

Gallery is now pretty much complete, look out for it in the next beta. We also have a few more Components to add as we know we have a few gaps to plug :wink:

I think the difference with Elements VS Foundry is we’ve gone lower level. The Components we’ve built are VERY flexible and powerful, they allow you to build just about any layout you want as we’re working closer to the bare metal - we’re exposing more of the available CSS properties in Tailwind. No need for a card component, as it’s really easy to make out of a Container…

…No need for a separate “Overlap” stack as our Components have controls to set an offset. No need for a “Background” Stack as the Container Component can do it. No need for a “Spacing” stack as all our components can set spacing. No Need for a “Max Width” stack as all of our components can set it. No need for an HTML stack as we have Custom Components, the list goes on, and on…

So while it might appear we have less “stacks” it actually turns out Elements can do so much more with less, and do it in a more direct and elegant way.

Having said all of that, I do want to know what we’re missing, so we can make sure we meet your needs :pray:

Glad to hear you really Love Elements, please do let us know what you need and we’ll do our best to get it added (it might already be on our list or in the works), I’m keen to see some of the template projects you’re working on!
