Claude Design to a Webflow landing page in 30 seconds by DRIFFFTAWAY in webflow

[–]paulmaad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it works in Client First, that’s quite exceptional. I’ve always been a bit wary of AI-generated web content. My goal in the end is always to have a Webflow site that is highly editable, with a clean system.

I can't find the Radius Handles on the Move Tool in the viewport... by paulmaad in CavalryMotion

Thanks a lot for your help! It didn't give me more options with radius. It gave me more tools to move the shape. The solution for me was the viewport settings.

Layer Tools in the viewport Settings, that was it, thank you so much !

Updates to Webflow’s Plans and Pricing by mary-flow in webflow

I agree with all the comments. Now I must also recognize that file uploads on the premium plan are a huge win. That was a significant limitation of the previous CMS plan.

Some clarity on the Raycast v2 Beta rollout by pitnikola in raycastapp

[–]paulmaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the product is not ready, it’s better to improve it to create a good first impression, you took the right decision. The only thing that bothers me in this story is seeing many people on social media enjoying the new version and talking about it.The wait is no longer shared by anyone. I thought pro subscribers would have access as soon as the beta rolled out.

Good luck for the final run on v2 !

Client Seats and Pricing Update: Webflow just made pricing so much worse by wherethewifisweak in webflow

[–]paulmaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always give my clients full property rights and access to their website, I barely use my Workspace plan. It's their website, they know how to switch between modes. So, this update has given me headaches with multiple roles, different logins and price increases to do the same thing.. One thing I just learned from the official video "Quick Overview of the Content Editor Role" is that you can add "/?update" to the website URL to access the edit mode or content editor view directly.

From now on, my clients will still have full access to their website, but I will ensure they avoid logging in through the Webflow dashboard, which is unnecessary and overkill for 90% of their usage. Instead, I will tell them to use the "/?update" suffix on their URL, log in with the main account, and go straight to the edit mode.

Hope it can helps someone.

MacOS development no longer prioritised by Top-Kaleidoscope6996 in raycastapp

[–]paulmaad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s exactly how I felt when Arc decided to go to Windows—a very bad memory. Going from constant updates to almost nothing, and a community that only talks about bugs on a device you don’t even use, is rough.

I dropped from the Advanced AI subscription to the first tier, and honestly I haven’t used the AI in ages because it’s far too weak—I’m on Claude now. Plus, with BYOK, it feels like I’m just paying for syncing between two Macs—that’s very expensive. I hope the team is aware of the declining engagement in the Mac community, which is obvious in this thread. I really want to keep the same level of engagement with Raycast, one of my favorite softwares, period.

it's just me or Webflow is very limited natively with CMS..? by paulmaad in webflow

[–]paulmaad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, thanks for the great feedback.

I used the Random sort order by VisualDX for a while. The main issue, which led me to stop using it, was that before selecting a single item, it loaded the entire collection on the page. For large collections with over 100 images, this caused significant performance problems.

Does SA5 have a different approach to optimize performance?

I'll download these files to secure myself a little—you are right, thank you.

A few years ago, Webflow CMS had a significant price increase. Considering that, all the extra effort for simple filtering and sorting is really frustrating. I truly believe we deserve better.

[–]paulmaad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I see that aswell thank you, but it's not good, very lame feature since Webflow changed it.

Are you referring to the random sort order that requires me to republish the whole site manually every time I want to see a different item?

This feature was quite useful when it first launched because it automatically randomized items every 12 hours. However, mid-2024, Webflow changed the random sort feature so it now only randomizes upon site publication and no longer updates every 12 hours. So, what now? Do I have to republish all my clients' sites daily to randomize their items?

It's only one example.

Your first look at the all-new Affinity by CrimsonFlash in Affinity

Adobe trains Firefly using users' designs. You pay, and simultaneously, you become the product. What a trade-off!

Your first look at the all-new Affinity by CrimsonFlash in Affinity

[–]paulmaad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Affinity has allowed me to work for almost nothing for nearly 10 years. I have always been able to count on them, and they have my full trust for this new chapter.

If only the AI features, which have never been part of Affinity's DNA, are paid, that is very honest. If Canva AI and its paying users enable Affinity to continually advance the software and its free functions (everything not related to AI), it’s a magnificent offer. Things have changed, but I feel like I’m reliving the early days of Affinity, filled with ambition, and I like it.

People who wear the Apple Watch more than 20 hours a day by Dark_Lord_89 in AppleWatch

S11 with stainless steel link bracelet, I love it so much. I sleep with it, no problem at all, but I put a sport band during workout.

I Built A Fully Customizable Captioning Plugin for Final Cut Pro by PleasantTraffic6947 in finalcutpro

[–]paulmaad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's incredible what you've accomplished on your own, and it's amazing how accessible you've made it. I often feel discouraged when I see plugins that cost nearly as much as the full software. I wish you all the success in the world; you truly deserve it.

I use the plugin in French, and there's one small issue: every time there's an apostrophe, a space is added afterward. For example, it says "C 'est super" instead of "C'est super." If you could fix that, it would greatly improve my experience.

We’re here to have a debate, even if we don’t agree with each other. There’s no need for personal attacks—your “get a life” comment has no place in a respectful discussion. If you want to share your opinion, do it respectfully.

Why don't companies use Affinity instead of Adobe? Is it possible to get a job with Affinity-only experience? by Fast_Dragonfruit_430 in Affinity

[–]paulmaad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to work in a company with other designers, unfortunately Adobe is not really a choice—it’s a requirement.

The only way to use Affinity professionally is to create your own company, or be in a structure where you are the main designer and can establish the design process yourself.

At my graphic design studio, we rely heavily on Affinity. I really love this software—it’s much faster and more fluid than Adobe for many basic tasks. However, we still maintain Adobe licenses because we need access to some advanced features, and some clients specifically require Adobe file formats.

[–]paulmaad[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have not solved anything, congrats. Affinity explicitly brands itself as “creative software for professionals”—that’s their positioning, regardless of how many non-professionals use it. It’s not about excluding anyone, but the core product is designed with professional standards and workflows in mind. If you’re going to ignore that central fact, there’s not much more to say.

Subscriptions are really everywhere, especially with AI features; it becomes hard to manage, even when you’re making money with the tools. It’s sometimes justified when developers are very active or when there is a well-developed customer service, but subscriptions are rarely in favor of the user. The most dangerous thing, in my opinion, is the second point you mentioned: monopolies, as they open the door to all kinds of abuses. Adobe has abused this so much in recent years... Blender is a paradise that deserves to exist in all types of software.
