You got this!

Let's count the clicks: click on plus click select group click select layout click for some reason again to select a layout click on the alignment icon on the panel click - full width selection click - select layout again Section installed click on plus click select group click on the navigator to select an internal group click on the desired group click on the alignment icon on the panel click - select by content width click - select layout The container is installed in the section In total, 14 clicks were spent on the simplest operation in Gutenberg, and 1 click in Bricks Do I want to continue working with Gutenberg? Of course not!!!

Kevin, an idea, while fresh, that I think would be great: same thing again, this time with ACSS and again with a stopwatch. Take those 5 minutes for us! Although it would be dangerous for the health of some...

After about 9 months of using Bricks Builder, the only thing that can be said is amazing. Also, your tutorials and important points that are usually not mentioned anywhere, along with this page builder, are very satisfying and surprising. Thank you for your priceless videos.

i legitimately feel bad for Rob, but when he claimed that 4 hours isn't long and it's only half a work day, it was blatantly clear that he hadn't used or even tried Bricks (or any other page builder of this sort). One would think that before debating someone on the internet, you'd at the very least give it 10 minutes of research looking into the other side's argument.

Rob's input on design 😅

Hi Kevin :) Thank you for your work, its amazingly helpful and im slowly starting to get better at all this. Looking at joining the inner circle too. I have a question about the video above. I followed it on my site and everything worked well. Except when i tried to add css to the content wrapper that houses the heading and description. When i tried to use css on this element then the heading link that was expanding over the whole card area reduced down to only the content element area. All i added on its root was a background color and backdrop-blur. Why would this be happening and is there a work around?

@Gearyco

5 ай бұрын

I would need a link to investigate, but it’s possible the backdrop blur changes the stacking context of the elements.

I have an important question. If we use the loop/list in many places, what is the best way to make it as as template as possible ? So when we change one , it also change the other but not breaking the difference query.

You forgot to riff on Dodge Charger. Lol 😂

I’m curious to see how much ‘quicker’ it would be using ACSS, because aren’t you just replacing manual values in those fields with a variable? Eg instead of 1 rem for the grid gap, you’d put var(-grid-gap). I get that it makes the decisions a little quicker (once you’re familiar with the various ACSS options), but not hugely so. Even the custom CSS would be pretty much the same, just with tokens sprinkled in there, rather than manual values. Thoughts?

@Gearyco

6 ай бұрын

The benefits of ACSS are mostly realized within the context of a full project and not an individual section of content. It has benefits in so many different areas and ways outside of any one particular section, so a section to section comparison isn't ideal. But with that said, it would have shaved minutes off this layout. If you count the time it took me to write the CSS for clickable parent and focus parent, for example, none of that would have been needed because ACSS has utilities for those. Same with the grid functions. And magic grid would have removed the need for breakpoints. Additionally, the contextual panels would have made it faster to add a lot of the tokens. var and calc expansion shave time off as well. This stuff adds up to hours saved across most projects, but only minutes or seconds on a single section. Another thing to consider is that I'm personally not the best to do a 1-1 comparison because I can do things many users can't do. I can write custom CSS for clickable parent and focus parent in seconds off the top of my head. If a user can't do that and has to look up how to do those things, it might take them 10-15 minutes. Maybe more if they make a mistake and have to try and diagnose what's happening. But with ACSS, they slap the utilities on and move on with their life. That's an immediate 10-15 minute savings for that user vs only a minute of savings for me. Same with grid. They might not know grid functions off the top of their head, but they can easily drop in a grid variable or use the contextual menu to insert a grid variable, saving them a bunch of time. Hopefully all that rambling makes sense.

@@Gearyco Thanks Kevin, makes perfect sense. The speed of your development comes from deep understanding of CSS as WELL as the ability of the tools at hand to make that knowledge easier to apply. As a newcomer to Bricks, ACSS and Frames, I'm still poking my way around, working out where to put tokens v utility classes (to avoid 'littering') and just the full potential of ACSS. I'm thoroughly enjoying the learning curve, along with videos like these that show their potential.

Been racing along with this video and everything looks fine on the backend as well as in the preview mode but whenever I view the page on frontend it's showing nothing?? what am I missing here?
