Firstly, the Pulse integration that @Norm built into Blocs is incredible. The fact you can design without coding and export a template ready to go into Pulse - just drop in two contents folders - still blows my mind.
When at exhibitions and meetups and people ask about making templates for Pulse I always say, “you can code the HTML, convert an existing template to Pulse in a few minutes… or you could design your own with Blocs”. The look on their faces when they see it in action (in Japan Blocs is relatively unknown) is priceless
OK update stuff…
Check out the notes on what’s new and how to get it:
I totally agree with this. It is a really fresh new approach and shows the way forward. Other systems seem clunky by comparison. I think that for the vast majority of users, that this is the best approach and solution.
This does sound really good. I don’t have a blog myself but I could see this being useful as a means of luring clients away from a Wordpress site with a combination of Blocs + Pulse CMS.
Thanks @Flashman and that was the main idea. So designers can start to dictate what software they use for the job (Blocs + Pulse) and not the other way around
