Interaction Manager - Blocs 6 Plus ⚡️

Announcements
1

We have an exciting new feature coming in Blocs 6 Plus that we want to share with you before the launch. We know many Blocs users want a way to do more with their Blocs websites, without the need to add extra code, our response to this request is a new feature we call the Interaction Manager.

We think it’s going to be a bit of a game changer for many of you and it will expand what is currently possible with Blocs in many exciting ways.

To help give you an insight into what is possible with the Interaction Manager, we have released a short free video tutorial course on the Blocs Academy.

These tutorial videos demonstrate how you can use the Interaction Manager to create a mega menu, a welcome popup that shows when a page loads and a way to customise a website based on the visitors operating system. All done with Blocs Plus and no custom code.

We have also published a knowledge base post all about the Interaction Manager, which covers all of its core functionality.

I’m pretty sure many of you will come up with some amazing custom interactions of your own and we have plans to add many more tutorials over the coming weeks.

Just the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Blocs users.

Nifty approach, curious how this potentially expands into further advanced possibilities. Reminds me of visual programming tools such as: Alice, Scratch, ArduBlock, Blockly, etc., inside Blocs. :nerd_face:

Thats great. So you export / save from the Interactions Manager, I didn’t see that as part of the knowledge base article, but didn’t sit through the videos. :blush:

No export right now, but we can share projects.

Yes it’s basically lego javascript, inspired by a tool my son uses in first school! So hopefully we can all get to grips with it :sweat_smile:

Lots of new features, the most interesting being in the Plus version. I think I will buy the upgrade, despite of the big jump in price.

I think that to be able to use it on 2 Macs justify this price target.
Also the custom interactions and the Extract live website content !

Can’t wait to try it :star2: :dizzy:

@svimic And as a Blocs user you get a huge discount of 40% (that’s a big saving :euro: :dollar:) in the first days after release. Don’t miss out on that.
