I’ve been trying out Elements, following all the videos since the beginning, and leaving a lot of comments. In a nutshell, I think it missed a lot of potential. It’s just too noisy for me. When Elements first came out, there were some components that were like pre-assembled sections. They were alre…

Just adding a +1 here, as every time I use it, I keep coming back to just how complicated Elements now feels. I constantly get lost in the Inspector (it doesn’t help that the order and naming of properties change depending on the Element), I still really don’t get the use-case for Globals as custom …

I must respectfully disagree to an extent. Can Elements get complicated?? Yes, depending on what you want to do with it. I have spent several hours watching the videos and learning how to use it, as well as increasing my knowledge base around HTML, CSS and Tailwind CSS. I am not a coder, designer, …

Is it easier to build a house if you get pre-assembled cabinets, drop-in showers, and fully hung windows? You bet. Is it more difficult to build said house if you have to hand-build all cabinets, put every piece of tile into the shower, and build your own windows from glass and wood? You bet. The …

was just thinking about something as simple as dropping text on a page…drop a container/grid/flex…add a text box…double click to start entering text…adjust margins padding to get where you want it…the program I use add text…start typing…move box to where you want…thats what it should be like…I got t…

Thanks for catching this, @trinube ! Sorry I didn’t clue in when I first searched…the title didn’t really catch my attention as to the similarities with what I was posting! To pull of of what @thominator said: " if it strips down too much to the wood, nails, glue, tile, and other base materials—w…

bryanrieger: working between the resources panel, node list, inspector and viewport is a tortuous game of “Where’s Wally” and whack-a-mole. There’s just too much to keep in your head. Totally agree with you @bryanrieger . The left side panel is currently really not well designed. I also ofte…

Hey Guys, I’ll do my best to sum up and address all of the points in this thread. If I miss anything in particular, just post a reply and I’ll do my best to answer. :smiling_face: UI Layout This is unfinished and a continued work-in-progress. We’ve identified a lot of the issues you’re all reporti…

[image] dan: We’ll build these easy-to-use layouts (banners, cards, etc.) from the built-in components and ship them in the app as “pre-built templates”. Calling them ‘templates’ rather than components makes a lot of sense, in that it presents them as far more approachable and malleable, wher…

[image] anon68150607: Template = a collection of elements. ie. banner, header, footer, etc. Global Template = a consistent collection of elements that can be reused, updated, and reconfigured throughout a site/project. ie. site header, site footer, promo banner, etc. I like this. Consider it…
