@FinlaysonConnor @iamjomor /goal clone webflow and bail Not THAT easy, but we did it Monday as an experiment. Handled migration VERY well. Below I’m doing it with our CRM (while also out at dinner Friday night)

It takes a lot to shake @iamjomor, so this really tells you all you need to know lol. Things have really gone from “make building websites fun” to “look at this new AB Optimization AI thing (Enterprise Only)”.
Jo Mor@iamjomor

It’s really getting annoying @Webflow. My clients & I don’t care bout 99% of the new bells and whistles. Instead of chasing more Enterprise customers, focus on improving the product for us designers & builders. U lost ur way #webflow This unbridled growth is shaking ur foundation

@juneleedesign I think for them this was always part of the longer term plans. They stopped working on new components in Webflow at the end of last year to rework how Relume works. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like.

🚢🚢🚢DevLink Export is now GA. DevLink connects designers and developers through a shared component system via the @webflow CLI. Export to code: webflow devlink export Import to Webflow: webflow devlink import Let's dig into how your whole team, and AI agents can work with Webflow CLI.🧵

@leinwand @webflow Woah. Full round trip? Build in app -> import to Webflow -> use the designer to style the component -> export back out to app? This will solve a lot of design problems in the ai coding world. Congrats.

If you have 100k MAU -> $213/mo, 1m active users -> $1370/month doesn't seem like a bad deal? Am I missing something?

@YS Agree. The inability to manipulate the code via the canvas is something I consider a huge limitation too. At the moment, it’s more a visual prompt builder rather than a true visual code editor

Understood. That's better. The ideal setup would be something as good for design as the Webflow Designer but not locked to the Webflow platform. So imagine a blend between something like VS Code, Cursor and the Webflow Designer. That would be awesome. Replit (below) allows you to select an element and style it, but it is pretty limited and feels like Squarespace. We need something that takes design seriously, like the Webflow Designer, but also takes development seriously like an IDE.

@YS Does that fall into the category of acceptable design canvas tools, if it is simply a visual abstractions of the generated code?

@YS I was actually quite interested to hear your take on this. Ignoring the Figma MCP for a second, I’ve been using a tall called Pencil that converts react code into a Figma-like canvas, and you can use that to make the design refinement and then sync it back-and-forth as code…

@YS @ryolu_ I am (for now) still using Webflow for the front-end, but anything CMS/Animation/Logic related is done with AI. But I honestly think we are on the door-step on moving design work over too.

@joshgonsalves_ @v0 I just feel like the opportunity cost of switching to a D.I.Y solution is just way too high for most of their customers. It's not just the building of the app, it's also maintenance, retraining and so on. It's prob cheaper to just stay with them.

@FinlaysonConnor @v0 $14b is absolutely nuts. I still think small and medium sized businesses will either build their own lightweight solution or subscribe to a cheaper alternative. Maybe even a few savvy enterprise businesses.
