Guys has anyone received an email from Michael at Yuzuul today? I have used Michaels stacks in RW for years but he has this new widget tool with about 40 tools that produce widgets to copy into HTML component. Works in Elements and RW too.
One of my first stacks I got from him was RW/Writer which I used for blog type entries and FB/Twitter Embeds and it was surprise to receive this today. I was wondering if anyone else got this and has anyone bought the tool? Your thoughts would be helpful as I might like to buy this.
I am not in any way affiliated to Michael nor Yuzuul but just interested in buying the tool . Info and videos at: https://www.yuzool.com/special.html just in case you’re wondering what it is if you didnt get email. THANKS for your help in this matter.
Paul, at this point I’m just not interested as I don’t really have a need at the moment. So I am just waiting on the improved CMS and for the opening of the Store to 3rd party developers.
I got the email as well and purchased the tools. I have been very pleased with Michaels responsiveness. He has add tools that I needed! A Facebook embed and a event calendar. Check all the tools he has!
On the studio page the widgets use an <iframe> to display the content. No idea it that’d be the case when you copy the html.
As far as I can tell from inspecting the code on the studio demo page for the calendar, the html of the calendar widget loads fonts from google (inter). I don’t see an option to change the font at all, so I guess that’s a dealbreaker. And since it’s not using tailwind to style colours and spacing, I see even more problems for using it with elements when it comes to styling.
The rest seems (but please don’t hold me to that) to be saved locally. You enter events, location and links for each entry using the studio and embed the code then as a html widget. Which means, if I understand it correctly, that you need to use the studio each time you add, change or delete a calendar entry and then copy and paste the new html code into the html component in elements. As I won’t check the other 49 widgets, I can’t say if that’s true for all, but I would assume it.
I’d rather try and learn to build custom components myself (or better wait for 3rd party developers to offer similar components in the store).
So no. No purchase from me. I do like the general idea though.
Just looked at my link and your link and I can not see any copyright or footers am I looking in wrong place or just need to go to Specsavers? Also I don’t think your work on RW and Elements looks the same - I would say you have improved with experience - along with the distinguished moustache!
I’m not sure it currently really goes beyond what is available elsewhere, and this is all just things to paste into HTML Components at the moment. Many of these are easily built from a quick chat with Claude.
(or better wait for 3rd party developers to offer similar components in the store).
