Blocs for Mac 6.4 is almost ready to start its public test phase, which means it’s time to show off what is new and improved in this next exciting version of Blocs .
I just posted on the YouTube video!!! but want to say - these are the kind of updates and changes I am more excited for.
Yes I am a LOVER of the options in the sidebar ! and why not ! its giving our designs life and breaking away from the code - 10/10 @Norm
I am going to be greedy here Im afraid and want to see more of this and more of you showcasing it….love the personal touch with you on it and seeing it in action !
Norm, can we see some possible updates to your brics too like updates in image comparison where we can add text to it like - Before - After and add SVG icons on for left and right or text.
The big one I would love to see is Image Overlay - I think this can be so much more, like over lay text prior and so we can use more like a card (bit like card designer !) I would LOVE to see this bric given a whole new feel to it.
This is absolutely wonderful! I’ve been dreaming about improvements to built-in carousels for years, and this is just perfect! It’s also great to see Norm doing videos again!
I started using Blocs back in December after a client specifically requested it, and I have to say — I’m absolutely loving building websites with it. The workflow, performance, and overall experience have been outstanding.
Huge congratulations to Norm and the entire team for the amazing work, and thank you to the community for the warm welcome!
I’ve also subscribed to Eldar’s work and I’m extremely satisfied — truly top-quality.
Well done to everyone involved.
Can’t wait to test what’s coming next!
Amazing work Norm! One of the best additions since the custom interactions In my oppinion! Now we can work with a solid base carousel! My only two suggestions for further updates will be the ability to add rows and columns inside to place text, images or buttons and the ability to change the image between breakpoints. I know I am asking too much but this will be a massive step forward for hero creations!
Looks brilliant @Norm , great improvement. Also superb to see you doing personal update video’s again. While the marketing video’s you put out are extremely smooth and enticing, I do like the personal touch you provide in these kind of video’s.
Should I even says anything before tomorrow, absolutely!! How about… Brilliant!! Wow, thank you, Norm and your Team for continuing to make Blocs the #1 website builder for the MAC.
Sure makes me wonder what more can you do to improve Blocs. You’ve earned this
Great work Norm… hoping there’s some similar inspector options that can be implemented in the Gallery Bric?
I know there’s Iconic… but it would be great to have a set & forget, more customizable Gallery within Blocs - without the need to upload to servers (just to preview)?
Carousels is a great addition, just what is needed and wanted, this now saves much faff with trying to make them in roundabout ways. Really good and can’t wait to use.
Also really liking the personal approach now, instils confidence and relatability in your product and company. No sales bull or whizzy showmanship (like some devs of software companies with double glazing sales approach and knocking the competition with fear tactics). You’ve been keeping that secret weapon in the silo for too long, marketing companies pay good money for a North East accent in their marketing for its friendly and trusting properties. I see it as the more relatable, personal and connected the dev is to their audience, the more trust and sales of a product, then the more sustainability of the product long term, then we users get to ensure more long-term security with Blocs. You need to wheel that vocal marketing weapon out more, no pressure
