Just a small one but I don’t remember seeing it suggested anywhere before.
Can we have an iOS-style indicator to let us know when a project includes notes? I’ve really started to use this feature to keep track of things that need doing and often use it as an ad hoc to do list.
Auto save option. Since High Sierra only after sleep mode, my Mac occasionally locks up and starts slowly beeping. It would be wonderful if changes were automatically saved because I’ve lost quite a lot of typing in Rapid Weaver due of this.
a) up-to-date SEO compatibility. Give us an easy way to make our site brilliant for SEO. Like this SEO plugins for WordPress.
b) compliance to Google in terms PageSpeed: Go to https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ and make sure all settings like compression, etc. are supported by default. So we do not have to hassle too much with htaccess etc.
I don’t think Gary is saying Blocks has all the features he needs. Just that it has some key features that he wish RW also had. There’s still lots to like about RW, but he is pointing out some very useful additions to the RW toolkit and feature set.
I’d especially like better support for warehoused images. And a way to drag/drop SVG images into a “well” just like one can with various image stacks that currently only support JPG and PNG.
The integration with CMS tools could really be a time-saver for some folks (and a pull-out-your-hair saver as well).
@NeilUK You have taken my comment the wrong way. Those features are well implemented in Blocs and elsewhere, and a lot can be learnt by going in those same directions using a more integrated UI that is visual instead of current text based approach. For example, Blocs implements 4 different CMS solutions in the main App. So if you have a paragraph of text on a page, you can select that to be PulseCMS or the free October CMS, text - pure ease of use brilliance.
A further example, is there is a Blocs video showing the new remote media manager where warehoused images can be browsed visually, dragged into Blocs and then there are 3 different sized windows for 3 different device sizes, that update instantly. Contrast that with what RW users have to do just to use warehoused images even when they have added Stacks and and bought a warehouse image capable add-on.
Dan asked for suggestions so that video shows exactly what RW8 should have, shows how to do it and proves that it can be done.
I want RW to succeed just as much as anyone, but I am concerned that new users who are needed to fuel the future of RW, will not see RW as the best solution.
