I Just launched Blocs v4 (No Code Web design Mac App) with a Black Friday Discount: https://blocsapp.com/
Size doesn’t effect app performance. It’s takes up disk space, if you are on a laptop this may be something that bothers you, it could also be argued native component driven apps are less system intensive. The only reason I asked about size was because I initially thought the app was of native Mac construction ( and by the I mean native webview etc).
Thanks man, the dark mode work you did looks great, well done!
I didn’t think you used Electron, thought it was native. Still very cool.
Maybe we should join forces :)
Yo I just released something similar last week. I opted not to tinker with the UI so it’s cool to see this.
I’m wondering how come the apps 59MB?
Yeah it’s limited only to actions that have keyboard shortcuts. I didn’t want to inject JS into the app to calls stuff as I could effect the core app.
I’m not sure I haven’t really tested it in depth that much regarding consumption of resources. Because it’s free and a side project I can’t allocate lots of time for development and testing, so as the feedback comes in I’ll make notes :).
That’s correct, I don’t alter the ui of Figma at all, so Figma is technically loaded into a browser and this is how it works in a browser.
Yeah I missed that during testing. I’ll get it patched in the next update.
Oh I’ll take a look at that.
