   Amazing

   Designing websites with Webflow has been an absolute delight. Its visual interface makes the design process intuitive and efficient. The drag-and-drop functionality for elements is a real time-saver, and the real-time preview allows for instant feedback. Customizing designs to be responsive for different devices is a breeze. Webflow's ability to handle complex animations without code is impressive. All in all, Webflow has made website creation a smooth and enjoyable process. Definitely a game-changer for web design!

• BambuStudio has been violating PrusaSlicer AGPL license since their fork

  There is an open source web browser proxy thing called finicky [0]. I use at work that lets me redirect urls clicked in other apps like slack to specific browers (firefox / chrome) or even specific chrome profiles. It'll also allow you to rewrite the urls.

• McLovin: the cross-platform link router

  On Mac I used Finicky. I switched to Linux with Omarchy almost a year ago and went looking for an equivalent. Junction only asks every time, mimi doesn't carry routing rules. The remaining path was "build your own", and I did. It worked well, with a TUI that paired nicely with Omarchy. Then I thought: this should be a built-in feature on every OS, the same way each OS has a rule for which app opens PDFs. So I... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Link routing: the feature OSes and browsers pretend isn't there

  On Mac I used Finicky for this. For anyone who never saw it: it lets you write rules that decide which browser opens each link. You set Finicky as the system's default browser, and it applies your rules to every link clicked in any app, picking the right one. Rules are short scripts in JavaScript, simple or as elaborate as you need. It can even rewrite the URL before opening it: force HTTPS, strip tracking... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Want to piss off your IT department? Are the links not malicious looking enough?

  In addition to making the link look shady, it adds considerable lag to opening the link. I'm using Finicky[1] on Mac to rewrite the URL by extracting the original URL from the query params[2]. 1: https://github.com/johnste/finicky 2: https://github.com/fphilipe/dotfiles/blob/31e3d18fe5f51b2fd86cb7f1762453c1c4779ef9/finicky.js#L4-L8. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Agency stole bestselling author's book, used AI to relaunch as their own

  You tell me: https://webflow.com/@qontour?msockid=0946eab0f6bf6a55192dfccaf7bf6b3f If that doesn't look like a marooned freelancer down on their luck I don't what does. I mean, what's your read on this? Is this a person who secretly hates the book and the author and re-published its contents because he knows that people who have the content will never, ever purchase a book, no matter how much they like it? And he... - Source: Hacker News / 12 days ago

• Add Authentication and RBAC to a Webflow App

  Authentication and authorization are essential for controlling user access and actions within applications, ensuring the right people can do the right things. However, implementing these features can be complex and error-prone, especially in Webflow, where server-side logic isn't easily accessible. Ineffective management of sessions and user roles can expose your application to security vulnerabilities. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Death to Scroll Fade

  Https://webflow.com/ is what I blame for the fade-in on scroll module. 15 years ago it did look very polished, boutique, professional. Now that it's a module everyone can do, everyone literally does it for every module. Also there's tailwind that likely has a module for all the modules in webflow. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
