…From my own pov, Blocs is fantastic, but it has a lack for modern and next-gen webdesign that will integrate more and more vids more “motion design” as animations. (did you see what some IA do in 3D for amazing headers animations ?).
It is a MUST HAVE with coming IA website generation (already there as with IONOS as eg in fact) with very good result for basic “corporate” websites (main point/target for Blocs), and so much more competitive (noob can create their own site in 5min !). Their use will be exponential, inevitably.
Those coming IA solutions will push webdesigners to have to propose an added value (if not they’ll be OFF) ; and then Blocs have its word to say with many features in this extent to be added.
Blocs must add stunning design Fx animations, completely in many ways, why not also 3D modules, etc.
If not… designers as me will be obligated to look about others solutions.
If yes, Blocs then can get a great reputation for “%” stunning/easy websites and pull new clients.
Off course I exagerate somehow, just talking, in isn’t yet but “tomorrow”, anticipating (corporate, of course not blogs or shop site…).
I have a lot of (very good ) ideas in this direction, if it interests I’m not far away
Ed :
Eg (to illustrate my purpose), succinctly :
- Some knobs for css transition, animations, perspective images, etc etc etc.
- Knobs for customising shadows (with others css parameters as the containers on my site),
- 10 ways to open popups (with fx ?)
- a menu so we can choose mouse way of hover fx (+ knobs value) or more largely with mouse position in div or bric or bloc or page…
- Real 3d with moving object relative to mouse position (turning, scale etc obj)
- A menu for choosing background animation (change color, fading, rotation, etc) with Knob value (speed, amount…), for all divs possible…
- Etc.
Would be AWESOME.
Or creating an open for devs API in this extent or something like that (css, js, 3d GL…)… ?
IA won’t be able to do this, and noobs would be able to make great and fun (and having fun !) with Blocs (the only one non-coder solution to propose this in wyswyg…)
All creatives would then know and LOVE Blocs (and then others know… and love…), that would then become a game changer and leading solution as the best one for stunning next-gen “dynamic” websites for non-coders.
( Nothing to do : with Hide | Padlock | Unexport icones on each layers (bloc, bric, containers…) as photoshop… )
