Here’s an analogy: If I were to give my housemate these instructions, they’d be clear: “Go get the salt from the kitchen.” To someone who doesn’t know where I live, how to get to my house, where the kitchen is inside the house, and where I keep the salt those instructions would be totally baffling. Please, please, please have them reviewed by someone who doesn’t know RapidWeaver (Some developers need to do this, as well). The basic documentation and instructional videos. I love RapidWeaver, but there are four things drive me crazy about it:ġ. But I can’t help to see it as a niche product when seen from the outside, and those simple changes could put on top of the other solutions in a breeze. I still think RW is an great piece of software made by even greater people, the developers and community are just fantastic. Also I don’t see much inconvenience on predefining the framework (Bootstrap, Foundation, though I think they should go with something like Skeleton) because as I mentioned before, RW exports good working code, but not very usable because it is a mix match between dozens of programmers way of thinking, so either you choose one or the other its not like you can or will ineract with the code on regular basis, so the ability to choose a framework has little to none benefit in this case. More so, Stacks is so intrinsic to RW’s function that it has its own category on the market place. ![]() ![]() I’m all up for developer’s add-ons and plugins, It’s just awesome to have so much to choose from, I also agree freedom of choice is what makes RW powerful, but Im talking about the core functionality of the product, sure you can argue that you can build something right out of the box, but I honestly doubt many people are using it that way. ~$374 The following years with upgrade pricing.īut setting pricing aside, a fully equipped RW copy with stacks and all, leaves less than half of my MacBook Pro’s 15" screen usable for building, everything is fighting for space.Īlso I’d love being able to use the output code for many projects, but that’s just not an option right now, not because RW can’t do it, but because is just a messy code, it takes longer to clean than to remake the site on Webflow (which I also love) and export clean code. Lets take Blocs app as an example, comes with a layout engine (Stacks $50), Bootstrap (Foundry $85) That’s $80 for Blocs vs $235 for RW, that is if you don’t need a full blown CMS with blog, then the comparison would be Squarespace $216 a year vs $455 for RW + Total CMS + VPS. The way I see it those things should come default because otherwise is a pain for new comers just to get your head around on how the RW ecosystem works, then of course there is the investment, so far (and happily) I have spent a small fortune with RW, but I’m not sure if I want to do it again and again because is not just RW paid upgrades but most stacks get major updates often, which I totally understand and support, but that doesn’t take away the fact that it is just an expensive platform. A theming framework be it Bootstrap or Foundation.I know this has been said thousand times before but this core functionalities should be built in: If you ask me, what I’d really love to see is RW on iOS, that train is coming faster than what you think guys, anyways…
