I have never been more impressed with both the quality of the software but also the openness of which bricks shares with the community. if you are on the fence BUY THIS, it is simply that good.

[VanfireOfficial]

Thank you, Thomas. We really appreciate all your efforts.

This is by far the best thought out page builder I've seen to date, and I've tried them all.

[VijayKumarIM]

Thomas just cracked the code of improving workflow speed, which almost every builder ignored. "Details matter"

Just see how many quality improvements. Can't wait to play with 1.5.

Thanks for this video. Please keep more videos coming. It is very important for developers to understand and use the CMS as standard practice.

Curious how do the dynamic styling options (animations, parallax etc) modern styling compare to Elementor?

[vigilantezack]

I'm curious about the conditional logic filter. The filter seems to be generic in the sense that it filters every single possible element that Bricks renders. This means the logic always has to do some kind of test for which element is being rendered. And this, in turn, means that this logical test happens as many times as there are elements on a page.
I can see that if a page has a lot of elements, say 2000 individual elements, and you only want to filter 1 of them, testing for that element 2000 times doesn't seem efficient.

I think what I'm saying is that you could maybe reduce processing time of "testing the element" by making the filters a little more granular. For example a filter that just does sections and another that just does containers and then divs. Maybe even filters per block type.
If I only want to filter an image or a paragraph (special discount code text etc), it doesn't make sense that the filter has to run 2000 times and each one has to run a logical test just to see if it's my specific paragraph ID. If there was a filter narrowed down to just text elements, there is no extra processing for all the rest of the elements.


So I think dynamic named filters that are per block type or even by ID or major sections only, would help reduce processing load for these conditions.

[DenGradel]

"27:30 Media Query Loop (e.g. Image Gallery)"
- I don't understand the Structure: why the Block is inserted in the Container? Why can't Image be inserted in the Container directly? Cause when you were changing the direction to Horizontal, you we doing it on Container level and you were unable to do it on Block level. So, what's the use in the Construction: Container -> Block -> Image, if we can do without Blocks?

[Multilive]

Please make something simular to the menu builder of Breakdance. Its so nice to have in Bricks.

Would love to see a place/ui for management of vars so you do not have to place them in with code. And give and make categories for them. Than everywhere where you type var( it loads them and autocompletes it.

Could you post some links to some dynamic modern site examples built w Bricks pls?
