Hey Weavers,
Huge news! The first beta of RapidWeaver Elements 3.0 ships on **Monday 13th July** š
The headline feature for this first beta is **Tailwind 4** support! This has been one of the biggest upgrades weāve ever undertaken, touching almost every part of the app, including the build system, Theme Studio, Themes, and Components.
Our testing has gone really well and everything appears to be working as expected. That said, because of the sheer scale of the changes under the hood, weāre releasing Elements 3 as a beta first so we can gather feedback before the final release.
Elements 3 also introduces new components, a huge collection of new features, countless fixes, and performance improvements. Itās shaping up to be our biggest release yet. Not everything will be available in the first beta though. Weāll be enabling more features over the coming beta builds, including the new AI Assistant.
Watch the video below for a preview of some of the features coming in the first beta.

Have a great weekend, and weāll be back on Monday with more details and the first beta of Elements 3.0 š
Cheers,
Dan & Team Elements

Hi, Dan.
Congratulations.
Sorry to bother you.
I realize I must be prepared to swtich from the original RapidWeaver to RapidWeaver Elements.
And I am mildly daunted by the prospect.
Might you have a link somewhere that will help guide me through the process of adapting from RWC to RWE?
If so, I will be attempt to venture forth!
THANK YOU.
Best.

Thank you, Dan.
Watched the video.
Impressed at speed of response demonstrated within the app.
Canāt bear seeing all the rounded corners.
Ruminating on it all.
Exploring two themes from MULTIHEMES.
Or may try to do a global build equivalent with RWE comparable to Elixirās HIVE theme ā backgrounds, extra content, etc.
Gonna be a good summer project por moi.
Thank you for your time.
Best,
Janis

The pace of development continues to be amazingly fast.

Anxious to see the polish that is being completed one the Core Elements side. Typography is the main weak spot.
CMS you already mentioned, just getting the CORE complete and stable I know will be a much welcome update.
AI is going to be fun. I hold my opinion on usefulness of in app versus personal subscription.
### Overall a solid update feature wise coming!

Sorry, this wasnāt part of the work for 3.0, but Iām keen to know what you think would be realistic for us to implement? what are some **essential features** youād like to see for Typography?

So, file this under a request, not criticism.
The first time I saw it, I expected it to be more like a word processor, where I could keep typing, assign styles, drop in a photo with text wrapping around it, insert other elements in the middle of the text, and have everything flow naturally while staying anchored to the text.

Iām not sure the Typography component will ever do this. We might tackle this āfeatureā in the future, as we have a few ideas on how something like this could be done. Canāt say when this would happen (as we have a tonne of other things to finish off first), but it is on our radar!

Would vote for an āArticleā Component, which would be what @Flash is asking for.
- Text = single line, formatting done via Inspector
- Typography (rename Paragraphs?) = multi-line, follows Theme setting
- Article = multi-line, multi-component, follows Theme setting
