00:06 hey everybody it's been a while since we've done the uh the actual lives instead of a hangout so I actually was looking back towards the hangouts or the
00:15 the live streams we did uh and noticed that uh it's been a while since I've actually Gone live so I'm sorry about
00:21 that been crazy the past couple months excellent we got Mr Cole Mr Powers in the
00:28 house Mr Francis thank you sir the um the
00:37 jock Bill The Jock is in the house I did not know what a jock was
00:44 well I knew what a jock was to me but not what the jock was to you Bill for a long time as I explained to you so anyway for all you Americans out there
00:53 it doesn't mean he's a sporty guy Scott Sean
01:05 excellent okay um I took a few notes not quite as many as I had hoped I'd be so
01:12 um we'll go through kind of my list of go-tos and um I wanted to you know I I kind of ran out of time this morning I
01:20 was going to Ping like all the other guys hey what are what are your cool favorite releases for the year um you know like Scott's in the in here Chris
01:28 is in here I'm sure got a couple other guys that have released some awesome stuff in 23 um so um yeah and also I thought it
01:37 would be fun think about it but like you know towards the end or Midway through I want to hear what your favorite release
01:44 of 23 was like what was your favorite things of was it was it a particular live stream was it was it a product
01:51 release doesn't have to be mine um was it what was it what is a was it a specific feature that I added to a
01:59 particular step back or something like what was like one or two or three groundbreaking things for you this year
02:06 was or was it you learning something like like a light you had a light bulb moment do you remember that particular light bulb moment what was it for you um
02:14 so yeah I thought that would be fun we can get a little bit of feedback from you guys and hear what uh what your light bulb Chris hopefully your light
02:21 bulb turned on at all this year um that would that would have been nice um hopefully we have hope for 24 though
02:28 Chris we we have hope for 24 okay
02:38 um kumbre yep kumbre is a good one okay well we'll we'll we'll dip back probably halfway through and we'll we'll go
02:46 through some of your uh favorite uh releases um I actually really I you know
02:53 as I was going through I released a ton of stuff this year um and uh some pretty cool stuff I think uh I'm not going to
03:01 go and like do a full demo of everything right but I figured hey it would be fun to kind of just go through and um look
03:07 at everything that was released this year and uh oops let me set up my desktop sorry I had a bunch of windows
03:16 open that I shouldn't have all right all right let's share here
03:24 boom all right let's bring up Safari here let's go to Weaver
03:31 space um so actually a couple things I've been playing around with some things okay and uh I don't know if you guys can see it but see I like have uh
03:40 have this little dooy there that like puts a circle around my cursor um I don't let me go let me know if you guys like that I think it's kind of cool I
03:49 got a couple other things I've had them for a while um but uh but yeah I got this other thing that like we can likeo
03:56 you know do stuff like that um but I I graded it into my stream deck now so I can easily turn them on and off so um
04:04 but yeah this kind of a cool little doohickey for the live streams um because I know some people maybe it's hard to track where the mouse is maybe in the live stream so I thought that was
04:12 kind of a cool idea okay anyway uh let me bring up my my list first off we're going to go over like new launches new
04:21 products that came out this year okay and um so first off we're going to go to layers okay that was uh released back in
04:29 May and why does play come up when layers H interesting okay um so yeah layers
04:36 layers is a cool one um it just lets you build a lot of interesting layered layouts right now uh I'll I'll admit you
04:45 could do a lot of this stuff with there's a lot of different ways to skin this cat right um you know like you could build this with F6 and swatches
04:53 you really could um but layers is just the quick and dirty way to get some of these layouts done right so cool
05:01 overlapping layouts um layers just kind of makes that easy okay um yes you could
05:09 do it with Target you could do it with position swatches you could but layers is just convenient it makes things super
05:17 easy to to do you can have stacks or images all kinds of stuff in the background so layers that was a cool one
05:24 um actually had a lot of people asking that because if you didn't know um on the Weaver space start page this page
05:31 here uh was built using layers um and I'd been asked for years how I built
05:38 this web page so um it was layers was one of those things of I need to ship this eventually you know and so I
05:45 finally finally shipped that for you guys um next up is actually an interesting one um it's definitely not a
05:55 highly used stack but I I released version two of this this okay this year um compass and uh what Compass allows
06:04 you to do uh what do I oh no is compass uh oops oh no I got to turn that
06:12 off that's annoying right uh demo I need to fix that where is the compass
06:22 demo uhoh I don't have a Compass
06:34 demo that is what a that's my how what the heck that is weird something's funky there
06:43 I'm not going to debug that now even though I really really really really really want
06:49 to I was that that shocked me okay um wow I'll definitely have to figure this
06:57 out actually I think you know mosimo has this uh this review here MOS if you're watching how you how you doing um and
07:06 actually I think he was a lot of the inspiration for version 2 he had asked for some features and I was like man adding those features will be like
07:14 complete rewrite so I redid completely rewrote it and redid it um and it really bothers me that the demo
07:23 isn't working but anyway um it does a couple things it allows you to have like next and previous so you can do like timeline based on web pages right and it
07:31 also integrates directly with blog which was one of the really big features of this right so um you could easily integrate with blog um so anyway and
07:41 that the blog like you know a lot of people want the ability to like have next and previous blog posts um links
07:48 inside of a blog post page so uh and that feature isn't baked into total CMS um so Compass gives that to you um so
07:57 that was one of the major feat features of this was total CS integration it also has a lot of really cool stuff baked
08:05 into like building out your list of pages to link to next and previous and stuff like that so it's a lot more
08:12 intelligent than the previous version and it really bothers me that this demo I'm going to blame Chris um because I'm sure it was him because this page is
08:21 orange Chris and you know I thought orange was the way to go but apparently it's not I'm going to have to change
08:28 this from Orange now all right uh next
08:37 up oh Chris says it needs to be more or oh that was the problem I I it's not orange enough that's why the demo
08:43 doesn't work got it Chris got it um okay next up is actually a really
08:51 cool one okay um and it is as you know feeds is a
08:59 super awesome stack okay and um so I released a new pack for it this year the feeds files pack
09:08 and I didn't think it was going to be as cool as it is until I made it okay and uh I'm really stoked with it and oh
09:17 there okay I was like what there's no demo okay um it allows you to build like interactive well a the demo has file
09:26 like a file browser right and what's kind of cool is here you can actually drill into folders okay and you can see and you can
09:34 go back so you can build like an interactive file browser um directly with feeds files which is really really
09:42 cool okay you can even make it look like finder or or you can have it more of like a grid based layout right let me make this a little smaller cuz I
09:50 increased my screen resolution now these look ginormous um so here's a feeds you know and drill into these right and and so as
09:59 you see it you can actually display the files right so here I'm actually going and you know kind of display making it
10:06 interactive which you can but you can just if you have a a grid of images or um I know someone was using this to
10:13 display he had a folder full of PDFs and he was just looping you know using feeds files to display all those PDFs on his
10:21 web page right um using PDF ined um and so yeah that worked great and so there's a lot of really awesome some um Nifty
10:31 Integrations that people have built using feeds files okay and I I know the demo just shows you a file browser but
10:39 if you think a little bit outside the box it just Loops through all the files on your system you can build logic based on it like here if it's a folder I you
10:47 know show the folder icon else if it's an image I display the actual image you can say if it's a PDF display the PDF
10:54 right so you can make it a very um you know not only Interactive but you know interesting page that dynamically
11:02 changes based on the the what types of files you have in a folder on your server so super flexible oh here's an example PDF embed and there we go
11:10 there's an embedded PDF pretty cool so yeah feeds files is awesome
11:18 we'll go into some of the awesome feeds updates that happened this year too there are some really cool feeds Updates this
11:24 year um next up is Geo Target all this is a version two okay um of Geo
11:34 Target and uh Geo Target if you didn't know uh it allows you to customize the content of your web page based on the
11:42 location of the visitor okay now um if you used older versions of geot Target uh what you might know or maybe you
11:50 didn't know is it actually queried an online database okay so there is an online database of Ip information and
11:57 queried for the location of those and uh so one of the big updates with version 2 was that the database now
12:06 resides on your server which is cool because that makes page loads like super fast now it's like insanely faster than
12:14 version one um now I have been releasing routine updates to Target to update that database okay I'm actually probably doe
12:23 for one so that's a reminder that I need to uh ship out an update probably uh this week uh for geo Target just to update that database okay so you can
12:31 publish and you have all the latest database information on your server okay um and so yeah depending on where you are in the world like you'll see a
12:38 different message here right so if you're in the US you see your you you see this um but uh and then if you're
12:46 outside of the US you see a different message okay so do targets really cool uh and again the the big the big one
12:53 here is that the database everything is on your server now nothing ever reaches outside inside the outside your server
13:10 I always forget the order I always want to say SVG but I think it's dvsg or something like that okay um so all those
13:17 privacy acronyms um this will save you because everything is local on your server nothing ever goes out cool stuff
13:25 there okay um now here's a this one was a treat uh because I accidentally shipped it as a free update to everybody
13:35 uh Lin's version 2 um so I shipped version two this year and I accidentally shipped it as a free update to all
13:43 existing lines users so that was a little present um if you have lines one you should have automatically got lines two and it's just styled fancy dividers
13:52 okay um so as you see like gradient ones we have little oh my little characters in the demo are uh uh getting smooshed
14:08 it's a nice little update um it's you know a cheap stack uh that does what it says on the tin it creates you know
14:15 styled lines and dividers on your web page so um check it out layers or I'm sorry lines um and again it was a free
14:22 update for everyone that had it um this is one of my latest um ones is is measure okay if you don't have measure
14:31 measure is a slick way to measure things on your web page okay and it's it's got some Nifty little features like if you
14:38 double click to hide um actually I got some uh some High Praise the other day on someone really loved this double click to hide feature um because he was
14:47 having them all over the page um and then it also comes with a device viewer right so um this device viewer is pretty
14:55 slick as you know what birth the device viewer was Apple removing and completely demolishing responsive View
15:05 mode um in Safari so um my response to that was I built my own okay um and yeah
15:12 it's it's actually really cool I like it a lot um there is a bug in Safari where each individual one opens in a new
15:19 window that kind of bugs me come on Safari um but uh in Chrome and Firefox it just morphs the existing window um
15:27 but you can have multiple windows open and uh yeah it's really cool I uh I I dig the uh the the device viewer if you
15:35 didn't know if you click on this you can see all of the latest devices Android and iOS so you can you can see exactly
15:44 like what something looks like on a pixel 2 and there we go oh that was a pixel 4
15:51 right so yeah it's a good one
15:57 um let's see next up is oh probably one of the bigger releases this year okay
16:04 was moving box 3 so um huge update to moving box uh I'm not going to even D try to dive into all
16:12 the features um if you want a slider moving box is the one you want okay um it
16:21 does it is the best I think most versatile you know uh general purpose slider out there um some of its favorite
16:29 features of me uh of version 3 is the the new animation features so as you see we can animate stuff as we change
16:36 slides um the slider syncing is really cool I added some new timer stuff um in version 3 um the slider syncing isn't
16:45 new but um that is definitely a very cool feature of moving box 3 um and then there there's a bunch of new oh and a
16:53 lot look where happened to all my images in my demos man my demos are just I'm finding all kinds of issues um the slides are there oh the videos
17:08 Jesus okay um So Right Moving box I think is if you have to pick one slider get
17:17 moving box Okay it definitely is extremely versatile and Powerful right uh there I have even I have a lot of
17:25 other uh sliders and they're like oh why do you have other sliders Joe if moving boxes the best well the other sliders have some you know some other features
17:33 that you you might need uh impact has a different sort of feel to it um tabulous has like a tabbed container right gyro
17:42 has this like little ribbon thing and a completely different type style of Animation so I mean and if you like those you know for your fit right it
17:51 works right but I think for a general purpose slider moving box just it's hard to beat it okay
18:09 version two and it was a paid upgrade and uh yeah I just think
18:16 the version one used a different Parallax uh Library effect um
18:23 this actually this version uses the same Library as drift Pro um which I shipped last year okay which actually have some
18:32 interesting cool ideas for drift in 24 okay I won't even go into that right now but um yeah uh I just think the
18:41 animations are like a thousand times smoother in this version um and uh yeah so if if you need Parallax effects on
18:49 your site for backgrounds or things kind of coming in um as you scroll up and down the page um check that out okay
18:57 it's a good one uh another one that uh play uh was released uh that was relatively when
19:04 when did I play that was in June man time flies I thought it was like August um so you know this player that's
19:12 on my web page that has that cool animation right super slick right um
19:19 yeah that's play okay I've been people have been wanting this for years as well they're like what video play are you using on Weaver space or on the email
19:28 stacks.com like because the the animation of the thumbnail is I could sit here and play with this this animation like all day it's just super
19:37 cool right um so yeah that was play I finally that was another one I finally shipped this year um it's got some
19:44 really cool um Integrations with other Stacks as well um so yeah check it
19:52 out uh oh share it uh Sher it was another one that was fun uh I I think it was kind of a due
19:59 for an update because yeah uh sharing over the past few years has changed a lot with all those social networks you know we don't we have Twitter's now X
20:08 and some of the other ones that that were in there like were Google Plus and app.net right so those are all different
20:15 um and we also now live in a world of ad blockers and so um you know traditionally share stuff gets blocked
20:23 by ad blockers and it doesn't by share it so um I added every possible um
20:30 Network that you could want even ones that are still kind of being built in like threads for example is relatively new right um so yeah if you want to
20:40 either use this to launch or share a web page on your local or link to your social profiles and stuff like that um
20:47 yeah it's a good one okay it also has uh share sheets built in oops it also does mastedon which is slick okay I thought I added share sheets oh yeah it does share
20:56 sheets as well super easy right so you you can click on this and you can share this particular image or share a post to
21:02 anything which is cool okay so yeah share it is a fun one I let me just make
21:10 a quick note this little satle so this a part I call it satellite um um share it satellites that is so
21:19 cool um just how you can have any number of circles and they fan out um I had
21:27 I've probably said this a lot of times so for those of you heard me say this I had to relearn trigonometry to to build this um and I completely rebuilt it and
21:36 made it better for version 3 um so yeah uh I this is one of my favorite little doohickeys just this little and they
21:45 kind of fan out and pop man that is just slick absolutely slick I really love it super
21:51 cool okay sweet um hey cool that had to do those
21:59 so those are all the new products or you know paid upgrades right the the new products this year that was a lot how many let's see that was one 2 three four
22:08 five 6 7 8 nine 10 now I did have one more I don't I don't have a product page
22:15 for it I did a pre-launch of Bento uh bentu Bento whatever way you pronounce it potato potato okay that will be
22:24 officially launched next month um it is ready I have one more upgrade for bento users okay um hopefully before the new
22:32 year um so yeah just to kind of smooth the edges for the final release okay um
22:40 and I don't even have a demo page to show that off um so but that will be if you if you're not familiar with what Bento is pretty sure most of you that
22:48 are watching live are familiar it's this grid here right as well as others right so that grid um as well as this grid
22:56 here on the homepage it's kind of that's what Bento is based off of okay um all right really quick that took
23:05 me a little longer than I anticipated it to um some of my favorite updates for the year um so here's some uh let's see
23:14 I let's see let's look at agent really quick sorry I'm just going to look through some of my release notes Here I
23:23 I uh was it n that that one wasn't I that was a
23:30 cool update but let's see uh feeds feeds had a lot of growth
23:38 in 23 okay um so a there there I added a bunch of new filter options as you know you
23:47 can filter out content and so we added a bunch of filter content um ways of filtering your content out which is
23:55 super slick um in version 1.5 five I added a lot of Integrations with total CMS okay so you can you can query for
24:03 things like categories and the blogs and basically it kind of turn feeds into what blog list is right uh to some extent so it makes you know I've
24:12 actually built out a couple projects um my son is is was building was building a total CMS um integration for some
24:19 contact some team management and um yeah we decid to use feeds to build the layout and set a log list just because
24:27 beads is really good and uh yeah the integration that it has with with total CS blog is uh makes
24:34 it very easy to to do okay um I think here here's a cool one actually we'll we'll I'll dive into this
24:42 one a little bit because I I don't not sure everyone realizes this cool feature okay and it's the new feeds preload
24:49 stack let me just let's let's open up a project really quick I've been watching the chat is
24:58 there anything hey Dave thanks for coming
25:04 in frankco excellent why am I not sharp as usual uh
25:13 I don't know am I not sharp I don't know um could be YouTube I don't know uh
25:22 my output settings I haven't changed anything I should be outputting in h full HD uh not quite sure why I'm not why I'm
25:32 blurry uh maybe you had too much Brandy and eggnog Sean maybe you're tipping
25:39 tipping the drink too much Sean I don't know hey Jody's
25:46 here okay um excellent so some people it's sharp some people it's not I think some people
25:55 drank more than others so you know there we go okay um what was I talking about oh pre-loading CS uh
26:03 feeds okay let's find an example that would let's just take this example I
26:12 have no idea what this demo is doesn't really matter okay this feeds brings in a Json file
26:21 okay now I know there are sometimes on a page where you might need to bring in the same feed multiple times okay Le
26:29 let's say I wanted um this layout and then further down on my page I wanted a different layout with the same feed but I wanted to build something different
26:37 oops sorry about that um maybe it has different filters or different layouts or whatever right but the data that
26:44 you're bringing in is the same okay now um prior to 1.6 I think this was 1.6 um you would load you know the Json
26:54 feed each time and essentially you're loading this the data twice so you're being a little inefficient okay um so
27:02 what we have now is preload
27:08 feed okay um and so when you set preload feed uh what you get to do
27:17 is uh you give it a feed ID hold on one
27:26 second I I built this and now I dat a path feed
27:44 ID maybe oh I know what it was there it is okay so sorry about that
27:53 what you want to do is here you do feed you add a feeds preload stack and then you add in all your feeds here so in this case what I would do is I would
28:09 feed out up on the top it's I'm centrally loading it and then inside my feed stack you would then uh preload
28:17 that feed right so um at this point my data is loaded once and then this loads
28:24 in data from that feed and this stack also loads data from that feed right so yeah sorry I forgot how that was
28:31 implemented for a second um so here we go again feeds preload and you can add multiple feeds and you can even add some
28:39 sort and filtering um and if you wanted to you can then sort and filter differently on each individual feed stack okay um so yeah feeds preload was
28:49 actually a really huge game Cher for some web pages that were loading let's say large database queries multiple times or you know loading total a lot of
28:58 total CMS data multiple times on the page um this just makes things a lot
29:06 faster okay um let's see then we had 1.7 what was oh the oh all the twig helper stuff that was really cool we'll we'll
29:14 dive into that too uh more twig stuff added a bunch of twig stuff and support for the review stack if you guys don't
29:22 know Scott's review stack there we go if you want uh sweet managed reviews on your website check out Stacks review for
29:29 made for Stacks or from Stacks app stacks.com okay um let's look at in My Demo file
29:38 here um I actually do something let's see is it one of these
29:46 uh oh I just crashed man can't wait for 24 cannot wait for
29:56 2024 oh it's open back over here all right there we
30:18 go which one of these layouts was I using twig stuff in
30:25 it ah here we go here's yeah here's one okay um so in this particular layout I
30:33 was I and in some of my videos I use a stack called HTML WP which is part of my starter pack so it is a free stack um
30:41 and basically you can write out your twig stuff now I realize this is cool but it also can be confusing for some people
30:50 having to learn this syntax right so in feeds what we now have access to oops I clicked the wrong one
30:58 we want this one I now have a a couple uh twig um helper Stacks here so we have
31:06 a cheat sheet as well as a for Loop and if condition okay so for example I'm going to use this for Loop and essentially basically I could use this
31:14 for Loop instead of this HTML wrap right and I can say here if I could do four tag in tags instead I could just do four
31:23 tag in tags okay and at that point it's just the
31:31 same right so now basically this is now using the twig 4 Loop instead of the um
31:38 the HTML wrap right so it just it's just a little helper for people that I forget the four the looping syntax right in
31:45 twig so there we go and same thing we have um oops I clicked on the wrong one again up here twig if condition right so
31:54 you can do things like you know if this value equals you know blah blah blah right so you can do some if conditions and it's kind of cool you can do else if and else and all kinds of stuff so it's
32:02 it's a sweet little stack um to help you build some logic into your layouts okay um so that was that was some of the
32:12 cool updates with feeds uh let's dive into some of the awesome stuff that came into Foundation right uh we had a lot of cool stuff in
32:21 Foundation this year actually too um so we have native share sheets now right um so all you have to do is add a share
32:29 sheet class to anything okay I think I have a demo of that on let's see Foundation stacks.com
32:39 demo um I I know I added a demo
32:49 somewhere it was navigation
32:58 h i it doesn't require the Swatch pack know
33:05 that let's go to navigation buttons oh it would probably be under
33:13 buttons oh share sheet here I knew I added it somewhere so yeah there we go um and I I this while this demo is for
33:21 buttons okay um you can add that class to anything you want okay um so there we go you don't uh you know I did show this
33:29 earlier Shar the Sher it stack has this um makes it super simple um but you you know it is uh the share sheet feature uh
33:38 only is built into um Foundation 6 so that's nice if you didn't know that that shipped we got
33:45 that okay um let's see 13 oh um so a couple new Stacks that were shipped that
33:53 you might have missed in Foundation 6 they are inside uh the code Foundation 6
34:02 code okay and they're if preview and if publish and um what this does is it
34:09 allows you to whatever on the if preview whatever is inside of there will only be visible in preview okay um and the if
34:17 publish obviously that means anything added to here will only be visible on publish okay so uh a couple you know
34:27 useful Stacks that uh you know for certain situations where you're like I I only want to show this on publish or I
34:33 only want to show it in preview um useful okay um let's see uh version 6.14
34:43 oh this one got bit oh this was this was the big update where Foundation went on huge diet I'm not going to go through all the this was a actually a really big
34:51 update U watch the video on this one um I go through all the various performance stuff um yeah Foundation the theme it
34:59 was the biggest update the theme has ever gotten um so super big update okay one thing to note uh with this one
35:07 though if you're using site Styles okay um by default the utility classes are
35:13 turned on okay chances are so one thing this update did is it split the utility classes into two so you can kind of load
35:21 half of them if you don't want to okay um this extra utility classes I'm willing to bet most of you don't use
35:29 them they are turned on by default okay but if you remove that it removes about
35:36 66% of the CSS um of the utility classes and chances are you're not using them andless you're using any of the like SM
35:45 colon W colon Something like it's all those those media query utility classes
35:51 um most people don't use those and if you can turn those off um just go into site Styles and turn them
35:59 off here I left them on by default purely because um yeah if someone is using them I don't want to break their
36:07 website right um so uh while I split them up they both are turned on and if you're sure you're not using any utility classes at all um you can remove this
36:16 one okay um if you're 100% positive you're not using any utility classes you can turn that off okay um I recommend
36:24 leaving this one on it's actually quite small it's quite tiny um whereas this one again that's like a bulk of the utility class the size of
36:31 the code that CSS is this extra classes so I recommend turning that off if you know you're not using them I'm willing to bet most people
36:39 don't okay uh 6.15 oh yeah this G gave us a couple um
36:47 new swatches in the Swatch pack okay um some scroll bar styling uh here let's quickly show you that I actually had a question about that the other
36:55 week if we go here you'll see that here we can style the scroll bar if you look at the scroll bar here it's nice and styled and uh there's also a protect
37:04 stack which lets you like you know disable right click or disable um oh here it is it's right here um like here I can't select this text right even
37:12 though I'm trying to select it you can't rightclick on it right so if you want to protect a particular part of your page um you could protect the whole page I
37:21 really dislike that like I don't know uh just personally I like ah I wouldn't I wouldn't like disable your entire page
37:29 you could do that with this Swatch um I don't recommend it though it's just a personal pet peeve of mine like what's the purpose like here I can select the
37:37 text but here I don't some people make it so you can't select or right click or do anything on the entire page a little Annoying um because that also you know
37:47 removes some functionality like you know if I want to you know select this and actually do something good with it like translated or do you know there's other
37:54 stuff that the browser allows me to do that isn't me just copying your text right um so anyway um pet peeve mind that a lot of
38:03 people will disable the entire page and then 16 was oh yeah I just I I added some caching in the theme for preview
38:10 mode so yeah some nice updates as you saw with Foundation here uh we're running out let's see was the next
38:19 one uh oh Google Maps actually got a a cool update um this year
38:28 I'll speed it up because I want to get to your favorites okay guys I want I really would like to get that so hopefully you're you're typing those in the chat
38:36 now uh map swap um so this feature here was added this year into the Google Maps St
38:43 Google Maps stack okay and allows you to let's say use case here is uh let's say you have um multiple locations uh for a
38:52 business okay and you wanted to quickly you know tap on a location and load a new map um in this viewer right so it allows you to here I'm just toggling
39:08 with a click of a button which is pretty cool okay
39:17 um see last let's see let's look at a couple more here um I think I think it
39:24 was slot machine it 4 one oh no that was a cool update but nothing nothing to brag
39:33 about um x-ray okay I know this is a now if you have feeds files okay let me just
39:41 show you let's go to x-ray because it it got a really big update too while I was working on feeds files I
39:50 also updated uh X-ray and I shipped it as a free update but um it just makes
39:57 x-ray a little bit nicer to use um x-ray isn't interactive like feeds files is but just I I did ship some uh some nice
40:05 updates to it so it just it works a little bit nicer you can basically give it a file and you can list things out um
40:12 nowhere near as close as powerful as feeds files um but it is for a quick and dirty solution um it works well okay for
40:21 just listing out files in a directory um and let's look at I forget what all the stuff I did in total CS
40:27 this year okay um I shipped out 1.11 1.12 and 1.13 oh
40:36 wow I got a lot of Updates this year um oh we did the strip HTML macros this year okay um so if you are ever using a
40:46 a macro okay in putting that macro into let's say meta tags on the web page and let's say you you you were using hip wig
40:55 for that text are area hipg generates HTML and that would actually end up putting HTML inside your
41:02 metatag data okay so um what we did is I we created um similar you know macros as
41:09 before we just added strip HTML to them um so we added strip HTML to a bunch of macros so that you can actually make sure that the data that gets added to
41:18 your meta tags um doesn't contain any HTML okay um so that was that was that was a nice update
41:26 let's see uh 1.12 oh this okay this was a big one uh here I I will actually point this one
41:34 out um because I think a lot of people don't realize it's there um here inside admin
41:43 core okay there is a new setting here called throttle delay and the default is 200
41:51 milliseconds um and what this does is let's say uh let me let me I guess let me back up let me tell you why I
41:59 developed this setting um sometimes users will um create an admin page and instead of like creating separate pages
42:06 they create one page to manage everything and they they break it up into tabs or an accordion or something right but there could be like upwards of
42:15 a thousand CMS editable areas on one page now when you load your total CMS admin area what it does is it it it
42:24 queries the CMS for that data so that it can populate the admin page and if you have a thousand editable
42:32 items on one page yes maybe they're broken into tabs or something like that but it's still on page load it has to go
42:39 and query your system a thousand times and what was happening is that was
42:45 overloading some especially shared web servers and uh it was causing sometimes you'd load your admin page and not
42:53 everything would load like some things would still be blank and you be like what's going on was because your server was overloaded like you sent too many requests we sent too many requests at
43:02 once um and your server just go right and puked okay um that's a technical
43:09 term by the way and um so what this throttle delay does is it actually adds a slight delay in between each request
43:16 now if you have a thousand of them um you know delaying of 200 milliseconds it could cause some delays right so the
43:25 ultimate solution is if you have a huge admin page you really should break it up okay but this setting at least made it
43:31 so that we weren't killing your server um so um if you want it back to the old Behavior go ahead and set this to zero
43:40 uh by default it is 200 milliseconds so I remember it was a month or two ago I think someone was like you know my admin
43:48 page doesn't everything doesn't load super quick anymore and a lot of times what happens is it's because of this right it's it's delaying a you know 2/10
43:56 of a second um you know between each request so if you know that you are
44:04 responsibly adding things to your admin page and you don't have a thousand of them just go ahead and set that to zero and you'll be back to the old Behavior
44:11 where everything gets sent at the same time on page load okay so there we go there's a good little a good little tip
44:18 there okay um and let's look at the last the last update was 13.0 what was that
44:26 improve total Loop uh oh this one was the integration with moving box okay so we added Integrations with moving box um and then
44:35 we got a you know a bunch of other dot releases that have various bug bug fixes and whatnot so there we go um that's all
44:43 I had for updates one thing that would have been cool um here while you guys are adding in what your favorite please go ahead right now go ahead and add what
44:52 your favorite release or update or light bulb moment or or whatever of 2023 was put that in the chat now and um one
45:07 streams were okay thought that would be
45:19 fun oh let's go to videos
45:31 let's go to live testing websites locally I know
45:42 that has been a game Cher for some people okay we did that a couple months ago um using M and um yeah so that was a
45:50 really good one uh testing websites locally uh let's see Hangouts moving
45:57 boxes this um man this I forgot about this moment in 2023 when my website got
46:03 hacked um that was fun right um and yeah this if you want all the details check
46:10 out that live stream and I go through all the details of how I discovered it what happened how I resolved this
46:19 situation and yeah so uh it was interesting someone hacked my total CMS demo website and uh it was because the
46:27 admin area was completely open anyone can do anything they wanted and um yeah they exploited some holes so um those
46:34 holes have been fixed a long time ago um and uh yeah you can no longer do it but uh that was that was a fun couple
46:44 weeks let's see
46:54 uh uh a lot of announcement stuff oh advanced advanced style text and total CMS that was a good one if you're using
47:02 total CMS and then you want some some super kind of advanced ways of getting you know leveraging hip wig in amazing
47:10 ways definitely check out this live stream the advanced style text and total CMS that was a good one okay
47:18 um launch oh we launched ma for Stacks this year man how did I how did I not think of that that is a huge win for
47:26 this year um made for Stacks launched and we are now at in less than a year 622
47:33 add-ons um on made for Stacks so super cool uh we have some I I'm working with
47:41 David uh we're building a sister site to this um for 2024 called madewith stacks.com um and that will be a a a
47:50 great thing for next year um so yeah made with Stacks is coming um and they'll the two sites will actually kind of work together um a little bit so yeah
47:59 that'll be fun can't believe I forgot made that's a big win madefor stacks.com um this image of the page speed one that
48:07 was a good one actually I remember this one uh we went over some really great uh you know page speed uh tips and improvements how to improve your image
48:16 loads your video load times and all that jazz um if you are using feeds um this
48:23 twig live stream was great um twig is the kind of the templating language for feeds as well it was it will also be the
48:32 the languaging uh template model for total CS3 okay so um learning twig is a
48:40 good thing um they're actually working on twig version 4 um which I'm keeping an eye on and I'm I'm actually conversing with the guy a little bit um
48:48 some things I would like to see added um so we can get those uh awesome things into total CS 3 okay so really cool stuff there
48:59 fun with circles that was a really cool one I that that says one year I'm not exactly sure what month that was but if you haven't you haven't watched that one
49:06 watch that one um because a lot of things on the web are squares right or rounded rectangles and that just talks
49:15 about how do we get make things circles right so check that one out right um those were some of my favorite live
49:22 streams of the year um made for St uh we have a new I know we have a new um
49:30 developer stack developer this year and uh so Stacks Weaver launched this year so Josh I'm sure you're all familiar
49:38 with Josh um he he launched this year and I'm pretty sure Scott's been
49:45 around since 22 but uh there check out Scott's stuff I know he's released some some cool
49:53 stuff this year um and of course we have stacks base camp uh that launched kumbre this year which
50:01 is probably you know one of the projects of the Year definitely deal of the year um when that was around so definitely
50:08 check out kumbre if you missed out on the deal sorry um it was but it's still a great deal at 80 bucks saves you tons
50:16 and tons of time Chris what's up with these zeros down here don't know what those are might want to check that
50:22 out okay um and here let's what I know mosimo released some stuff right um RW pro.
50:37 space does he have like a chronological thing here the menus pack I know is new uh I
50:47 think he revamped the email templates pack I don't remember um yeah some cool stuff here I'm not exactly sure which what he what he released this year
50:56 pretty sure this menu pack is from this year though um so anyway there we go and then last but not least um we have
51:03 Foundation box doc
51:11 studio and pretty sure Cleo and entree were
51:21 shipped this year from Dava day pretty sure those two was another one I think that's it I think yeah I think Cleo and
51:31 entree maybe Rose as well oh yeah Rose so there we go that was shipped in July and soon maybe it was soon too I
51:39 don't remember Mercury I don't remember which one which these I know as C these top three were definitely launched this year um and maybe soon um maybe it was
51:49 even Mercury I don't remember now time flies you know uh some so some great stuff there okay let's let's go through your lists cuz I am super interested to
51:58 hear that let's see okay um let's see that my fav I'm not sure
52:07 Sean which one you said was your number one uh let's see I look blurry now blah blah blah blah blah Olaf from
52:21 Mexico let's see Chris says his favorite his favorite live stream from the year M okay
52:33 um Franco says oh Franco said he didn't get the I I'll check back to you on the on the on the April on the summit email
52:43 um Franco if you want to ping me on the community you can do that or shoot shoot me an email make sure I don't
52:50 forget um all embracing well-designed projects so uh Dave two things actually embracing
52:58 well-designed projects to then sell to clients three TS sites awesome and then using chatty G oh chat GPT to help me
53:07 code okay yeah so that's actually probably a huge win uh for a lot of people in 23 right was
53:15 the you know using chat GPT right so here here here's something fun so matius
53:22 wolf okay if you're still on here uh let me share my screen okay so he asked a question on
53:30 the community and I told him the answer was chat GPT okay
53:38 um so here no what isn't this one there we go all okay so
53:47 um he wants he wants to have a a page that displays the the the I guess a support page for his clients that he
53:55 wants to display this information okay um I don't have a stack that does that
54:02 um I don't know doesn't seem relatively useful to me but I mean uh this seems like a perfect example of what we use
54:10 chat GPT for right so here what I would do is let's
54:17 launch so I I use I use a Mac app called Mac GPT um just so it's like yeah it just
54:25 loads the web interface it actually has a native chat client as well but let's just go into here say um I need some js
54:34 that will nice uh JS HTML that will
54:42 nicely um display the following
54:51 information about the we website visitor we
54:58 need the browser the browser version
55:05 the name and version of the browser the
55:13 operating system and its
55:21 version I also need to know if J uh
55:30 Java well if JavaScript is disabled then none of this will work because all of this has to be JavaScript so I can't
55:39 imagine people disabling JavaScript nowadays if JavaScript and cookies are
55:46 enabled all right there we go now um so in order to do this right I
55:56 I know while this is building out its information okay
56:03 um it's using What's called the user agent information um I believe I well let's
56:15 see interesting all right uh if you're curious I'm using GPT 4 which if you're
56:23 not using GTP you're probably going to have different information here right but essentially um here we go basically you would uh let's go ahead
56:32 and I'm going to take this we're going to copy that let's go into my sandbox
56:39 project uh I don't need this don't need this all right and um I'm was going to
56:47 Chuck in a HTML stack and to paste that in there
56:55 right and then we're going to do a JavaScript stack put that below it and we're going to copy that
57:14 code all right let preview ising well it says browser name Netscape
57:22 uh it said that we're on a uh Mac OS it's not perfect okay it's not perfect the operating system is Mac OS
57:30 version is Macintosh um but I guess you could probably continue to work with uh um you
57:38 know GPT on getting the information uh I actually didn't read this explanation either um so there could be some
57:45 information in there but yeah
57:52 um chances are I think he's using this thing browser check. NL what they're doing is they're sniffing um you know
58:01 the user agent string of a browser and they probably have a a mapping uh like a little database that has all the
58:08 possible um you know user agents for Safar with this version of os right um so yeah yeah Netscape exactly funny all
58:18 right went off on his a little side tangent there but I I definitely think chat GPT was definitely a winner this year for a lot of people um including
58:25 myself like small little scripts like that like why think about it just build it now that one wasn't perfect but there we go
58:33 um but yeah I I know a lot of people that were you know little tiny things that were like I need to do this right I need to do that right it's like what's
58:42 the CSS to do this right or you know JavaScript to do that um GPT is really good at that and as you see I mean you
58:49 just copy the code paste it into rap wever and see what it does right um now if this is something you need to support you're going to I wouldn't recommend
58:57 necessarily building a stack a sellable product with GPT if you don't know how to code because then you're going to have problems like debugging it and
59:05 troubleshooting it and supporting your customers okay but um definitely awesome
59:13 uh I think GPT especially version 4 I pay for it proudly because I get a lot of value from
59:19 it okay um good so good good one Dave I know Dave also um yeah he uh he's he he
59:28 kind of got pushed into the full-time freelancer realm already uh late this year so um good luck to you Dave and
59:35 hope your 2024 is awesome so good job let's see um Irwin says his favor was was mine and
59:44 Joshua's setup with Git circumstance that prompted the video was less fortunate yeah yeah actually my good
59:52 because I uh you know in my hacked video uh because I use git to uh publish my website it kind of saved my behind like
01:00:01 uh I could easily clean things up um so yeah I know Josh is kind of refined his workflow a little bit it was a little
01:00:09 bit different than what I did um and probably within the next year maybe I'll I'll revamp I'll rethink mine uh maybe
01:00:17 do a a a a tutorial on it or something like that or Another live stream
01:00:23 um all okay the whole the whole feeds pack oh so Sean says the whole feeds package is his favorite yeah it's just
01:00:32 powerful people have been doing s such amazing stuff with feeds this year um it's pretty mind-blowing and integrating
01:00:39 with all kinds of stuff um you know databases because I know a lot of people have been wanting database stuff for years and um I think feeds really is
01:00:46 like the ultimate package for displaying data from a database um it it's really good okay um so
01:00:56 good um all were there any other what any any other things what were your favorite
01:01:04 maybe you'll create a post on Weaver space and we could just talk about what our favorite things of 2023 were um so
01:01:13 yeah uh 2024 what's what's happening so uh I'm sure you guys already know the
01:01:20 next Weaver space Summit is coming in April so April 5th to the 7th um I already
01:01:27 have I think nine speakers lined up already so um we haven't ironed out exactly what all the talks are but we
01:01:35 have nine speakers so um we do have we do have a few spots still available if you want to speak um I always love
01:01:44 having um new victims I mean new speakers and new users coming in and uh
01:01:50 giving out your experiences so um if you feel you have something everyone has everybody all of you here have something
01:01:58 to share okay we all have different experiences and different knowledges um and you definitely have something to share that other people in the community
01:02:07 want to hear okay so it's not if uh if if you're brave enough to step up to the plate and share your experiences and
01:02:15 teach others um you know what you have learned no matter your experience level
01:02:22 okay um yeah uh I would appreciate it shoot me a note I'm happy to help you come up with a a great topic and help
01:02:30 you refine your what what you can speak about okay um because again I think everyone has something to share to
01:02:38 everyone okay so please feel free to uh let me know and also you know this year I'm trying to think about actually spent
01:02:46 quite a bit of the time this morning in the shower thinking about what is going to be like I always like to have one talk that is like completely outside the
01:02:53 realm of what design right and um trying to come up with with what that one talk would would be so I have a couple ideas
01:03:01 but I'd like to hear what would if you guys got any other ideas shoot me an email I would appreciate that okay so um of course you do know Isaiah is going to
01:03:10 be given a a talk or two um at the summit as well and uh he will be showing off some awesome stuff will it be
01:03:19 something that we can buy at the summit I don't know yet okay um I I don't know that hopefully maybe maybe beta Alpha I
01:03:26 don't know um but definitely um finally I'm glad other people the world will be able to see um some some awesome stuff
01:03:36 so um and hopefully get our hands on it okay um after that we got some other cool stuff coming this year I already I
01:03:44 already mentioned madewith Stacks so working on madewith stacks.com uh which will be a a gallery of your websites so
01:03:53 um yeah it'll be a Galler where you can submit your websites and you can kind of um say what products you used um so then
01:04:08 products and maybe not all the products because it would kind of it would be it would be tough to list every product used uh throughout every you know the
01:04:17 entire web page or website but um yeah come up with that idea um
01:04:24 I got a couple other projects I'm working on um so not ready to reveal one of them
01:04:33 okay obviously total CS 3 is going to be worked on um so I really really really really wanted to ship total CS 3 this
01:04:40 year and it didn't happen um I shipped a ton of other products though um right
01:04:46 and um oh yeah I see Matias says total CS 3 um I'll give you guys a current kind of status of what's told cms3 is um
01:04:56 so this year I've I've finished like all the the design aspects of the admin Pages like what the fors are going to
01:05:04 look like uh you've probably seen I've I've given out links and URLs to kind of show you the smart fields that it has um
01:05:13 the API and generation of all the data is actually I think it's shippable it's done like I have more ideas that I want
01:05:21 things I want to do but it I have everything that I had on doing for launch okay um what I'm
01:05:30 currently working on uh I admit I haven't worked on it
01:05:35 since probably September okay um is the automated admin uh center right or the admin Pages
01:05:45 um so from talking to users uh one thing
01:05:52 that stops some people from using total CS for all of their we websites or all their client sites is that uh they have
01:06:08 um you know some people just see it as unnecessary work um because other cms's
01:06:15 out there um that shall not be mentioned right that aren't even in our our community life cycle um have while
01:06:25 completely hideous and ugly and unmanageable um they have done for you admin areas right um so I don't know I
01:06:36 think there's a lot of other drawbacks to Wordpress and you know other things that I I find it completely unattractive
01:06:45 um but I take I take point that you know having the ability to have some sort of
01:06:52 pre-done for you admin area would would make uh a huge benefit to the product now I don't plan on getting
01:07:06 extremely valuable um I've I know some customers you guys have made some really
01:07:13 amazing backends for your clients that make it look completely custom and premium and you're able to charge your
01:07:22 customers for that premium having like a custom backend for your for your clients is huge okay and um it
01:07:31 definitely makes you look more professional okay rather than having a hideous ugly horrible to use backend
01:07:40 that sends you notifications about updates and stuff like that that that just scare your customers away right and they don't they don't want to go into it
01:07:48 it's not it's not nice to use so I want something that is going to be nice to use um
01:07:54 and uh yeah it's kind of done for you obviously you you want to have full control over the look and feel of it because it's done for you okay um but
01:08:03 it's a great starting point so um that's what I'm currently working on uh once I get that part done
01:08:13 um I think we'll be able to start some sort of testing okay um so
01:08:22 yeah um some sort of external testing right not just me so I'll you know we'll see I'm going to get that done and then
01:08:30 once I you know there there's a lot of other things we need to make sure we get done but the content I already have content working like you could display content from the CMS um I haven't stack
01:08:39 ified everything yet now remember total CMS 3 will be a standalone product it won't require Stacks it will definitely work with Stacks but it's not going to
01:08:47 require Stacks any longer um so yeah I'll that will expand total
01:08:55 cs's user base as well hopefully uh moving forward obviously day one like I'm going to be you know it will be
01:09:02 about Stacks right um because that's a big thing on my part but I want to try to expand our Horizons maybe even help use that to help build the stacks
01:09:10 Community as well because I I love Stacks I think it's amazing so um this will be another way of getting people in
01:09:17 smooth upgrade from Total CMS 2 would be fine um preaching the choir yeah my clients love
01:09:25 the backend a total CS yep exactly um so upgrading from Total CS 1
01:09:34 to Total CMS 3 um your data will be migratable okay
01:09:42 um now you won't have to redesign your entire site but you're going to have to rebuild some some parts of it okay um
01:09:51 it's not quite a foundation to Foundation six jump okay where that was like you have to rebuild a site okay um
01:09:59 you're not going to have to do that with with total CS because you total CMS in an Ideal World total CMS just manages
01:10:06 your data right it doesn't have much to do with your design a little bit I mean there's like the blog list and stuff like that that
01:10:14 definitely is a part of the design right but replicating let's say your blog list with something like feeds or whatever I come up with for total
01:10:21 cms3 um again that's replicating maybe some rebuilding parts of a web page or integrating new ways of integrating
01:10:30 right um so I don't want to say there's going to be a zero work from your side um but it's not a complete redesign
01:10:38 either okay um but I will guarantee that I can migrate the data right so you you're not going to lose any data U
01:10:46 we'll move everything over to the new uh and it will it'll be a copy right so it'll it'll create a it'll leave all your existing CMS data intact and then
01:10:55 it will create a copy of it for version three right so that way we're not modifying anything um and breaking you
01:11:02 know your existing site right so maybe you you know yeah uh I I think that'll be the best
01:11:10 approach okay um okay other things for
01:11:18 2024 um man I got one big thing outside of to Total CS 3 made with Stacks in the summit um those are things that are are
01:11:26 definitely happening hopefully sooner you know they're happening relatively soon in the year I have another one that's going to happen after Stacks
01:11:35 launch um that's going to be fun I think right um it's a big big project that will take probably more than a year to
01:11:44 to do um but I have someone who's going to be helping me um to do that um and uh but and we'll be trick trickling over
01:11:53 over for a year or two um getting it all done so um that'll be fun it's going to be a fun project and then uh another
01:12:01 thing while I said that popped into my brain oh man it just
01:12:11 left oh um so another thing I will be doing is so if you're curious
01:12:17 on Stax Pro um theme migration right so um prior to any of you getting Stacks
01:12:26 Pro I'll make sure that I ship um an update to Foundation 6 that will contain
01:12:33 a foundation Six Theme that will work in Stacks Pro okay and you know what for I
01:12:40 know there are a ton of foundation U one sites still out there um you won't have to twist my arm too
01:12:49 hard to make a foundation one theme um that will work in Stacks Pro um I you I didn't even thought I
01:12:56 didn't even think about that until right this very second when I was talking so um I could probably make that happen to because I know a lot of you are are have
01:13:03 Foundation One sites um and we want to move as as soon as possible to stack Pro to the new fangled stuff right so um
01:13:12 yeah I could be convinced pretty easily to do that and stuff like you know portal also has a theme so all that stuff will will make migratable
01:13:19 obviously all your Stacks will um migrate seamless to Stacks Pro um so you won't have any issues migrating all of
01:13:27 your existing Stacks to Stacks Pro okay um so that's exciting um other
01:13:35 migration questions um there are some question marks in terms of if you're using style text um there will be some
01:13:43 sort of I don't know I don't I don't want to there will be some sort of migration that has to happen um will the all your formatting move over I don't
01:13:51 know I don't personally use any of the style text I haven't for years because I I really dislike the the HTML that it
01:14:09 actually have a style text box um again I never use those um I I tend to stick
01:14:16 with markdown or plain text and uh um and then yeah uh I recommend that so if
01:14:23 you are using style text right now um in any of your Stacks pages I recommend stop um don't use that um and try to
01:14:32 learn how to create those Styles in other ways okay uh better ways um learn markdown it's not scary it's pretty
01:14:41 simple just do paragraphs and headers and bullet lists really really easy okay you don't need to learn all the advanced
01:14:49 stuff um for all the advanced stuff even I have to look look it up still but like creating headers paragraphs of text
01:14:57 making things bold and italic adding links it's really really simple okay um
01:15:04 don't be scared of it it's pretty good um although I do know that there's I don't want I don't want to talk about that never mind I can't I can't mention
01:15:12 any of that so um are you referring to paragraph Pro Stacks by chance uh paragraph Pro uses
01:15:19 markdown from what I understand so um you should be good with paragraph Pro I don't believe it uses style text um here
01:15:27 I'll show you what style text is goe all right uh let's just close this
01:15:36 all right um let's go to think the yeah right so if you add in a default text stack okay if you edit and you see bold
01:15:45 italic you know text alignment and font buttons If you see this toolbar you are in a style text box
01:15:54 okay um and I do not know what what of this formatting will be
01:16:02 carryover if that's convertible okay into Stax Pro um so this this style text view is something that is it's
01:16:11 subclassed by rapid Weaver it's maintained by rapid Weaver the code it outputs is done by rapid Weaver sta Pro
01:16:18 will have its own thing that hopefully is better um but but this particular style text
01:16:25 component is a rapw weaver thing so while it it will the content won't be lost some of your Styles in Con the
01:16:33 conversion to Stacks Pro might not be able to be moved over I don't know it's
01:16:39 just a word of caution um I don't feel like you should be using style text at
01:16:46 all like I've said earlier I haven't used style text for years because the code that it gener generates is horrible
01:16:55 um it really is bad okay it makes it so like if you try to move to a proper way which is like your Swatch the way
01:17:02 swatches work um like swatches won't override style Tech stuff like just
01:17:08 really bad so um yeah use um use either markdown um which is you know obviously
01:17:15 markdown um you can use HTML which would just be plain text okay or obviously if you use like if you're using Foundation
01:17:23 go ahead and use um use the text stack which as you see is just marked down um
01:17:30 and so yeah there we go I recommend the text stack okay also
01:17:37 if you're using my starter pack uh I think I call it text in there oops that's not the starter pack this one's the starter
01:17:44 pack yeah just use text in here as you see that and it's effectively the same as the foundation 6 Tech stack okay um
01:17:54 so there we go and oh where I was going with that is
01:18:07 another thing okay all Le all leak some exciting information okay so I know in in the stacks World um
01:18:18 pretty much every almost everyone's using um a framework based theme okay so
01:18:24 either Foundation or Source or Foundry or I think I'm missing UI kit right um
01:18:33 maybe there's another one out there okay um think there's platform something like that I don't think that one's too widely used but um you know basically you know
01:18:42 it's the blank slate theme okay where you're you are responsible as a designer
01:18:49 to build everything the entire web page yes one more thing SC
01:18:57 um and while that is awesome and that's the way I I would prefer it too right sometimes we just we just want to start
01:19:06 from a theme right um and the Rap weever Theme ecosystem has kind of died over the
01:19:15 years um a because their their theme API it it sucks okay um and
01:19:23 I think something like Foundation the flexibility that we have now with all the foundation Stacks is just Second To None
01:19:30 right now over the years there have been a lot of extremely talented theme designers
01:19:38 from um on rapid Weaver okay and uh we've lost a couple over the years and a big one is Nick Kates and as you know I
01:19:48 did take over all of Nick Kate's Stacks now what I haven't publicly said is is I have also taken over all of his
01:19:57 themes um and one thing I want to do after Stacks Pro ships is I'm going to be I don't know if I can to do all of
01:20:04 them but I am going to be uh reshipping um Nick Kate's themes for Stacks
01:20:12 Pro now I'm also going to do some interesting other things because um I think I want to theme with the power of
01:20:21 foundation right um so I'm going to make them Foundation 6 compatible right so so you'll still be
01:20:28 able to if you you're you don't you're not required at Foundation they'll work without Foundation but if you have it you'll have a a much bigger level of
01:20:37 customizability than you would uh without them so that way you can use it as a a theme as a starting point you probably won't be able to customize all
01:20:45 of the theme right um I don't know how that's going to exactly work yet right but I am going to be making shipping
01:20:54 themes um I have my own designs um I've acquired as I said the entire Nick K Nick katees catalog minus I think two
01:21:03 themes Aspen and another one um that were requ that were acquired by real Mac okay um but outside of that his entire
01:21:11 catalog um I will be reshipping uh hopefully all of Stack pro versions of all themes so that'll be fun so we can
01:21:18 start using themes again um and they'll all be compatible with Foundation six so you can use all the foundation 6 Stacks
01:21:25 in them um and I think that'll be exciting I think it'll be a isue a a new era of of
01:21:33 um yeah of cool web design using Foundation um and Foundation powered
01:21:41 themes I think it'll be a really cool thing so um there we go that's kind of my my there you got a big huge leak today I
01:21:50 hadn't really told many people that or a couple individuals that knew but um yeah it's my first time I've publicly said that I'm going to be doing that and I've
01:21:58 taken over all of Nick Kat's themes so that's exciting um so yeah I look forward to that um any other comments uh
01:22:05 let's see before I leave uh Matias I see you like that uh that the Nick Kate stuff cool platform scribe uses
01:22:15 markdown a paragraph Pro does use style text okay scribe was the one that uses markdown yeah scribe was I think scribe
01:22:23 was like the the next um you know par paragraph Pro sort of Stack so yeah I
01:22:30 would recommend don't use paragraph Pro then um obviously keep it in your library so that any existing stack or you know uh sites that use it doesn't
01:22:40 break but yeah I wouldn't use paragraph Pro anymore um scribe uses markdown to use that or use the tech
01:22:48 stack okay cool sweet guys I'm looking uh super excited
01:22:56 you need the strata theme with F6 version oh yeah strata huh okay I don't remember what strata was I'll look into it but I know I have it so there we
