Client Transfers Are Live


Hey Slater Squad 👋

For Slater Roundup 23, we have:

  • Massive Slater Updates
  • Why Use Slater?
  • Thomas Carré Session

Alright - let's go!


Client Transfers & More

Thanks for all your feedback over the last few weeks. We've been busy making some updates based on your feedback!

We'll be doing a livestream this coming Wednesday, 10am EDT to go through these changes - a lot of updates here!

1) Transfers!

Give your clients control of their code and who has access to it. You can trigger the transfer to give your client control and still retain the ability to update code for as long as you need.

2) Add/remove collaborators from your team.

3) Public file urls are now fully public.

You don’t need to have an account to view code.

4) Cache busting support.

Add a version number to your Slater script anytime you need to ensure your users get your latest code.

5) Improved error handling.

This is most apparent when having issues saving your files to Production.

6) UI improvements.

7) Fixes and improvements to the Webflow Designer App

8) Improved the single script compilation.

We have improved the single script compilation. We are using Javascript import modules to solve issues that can occur with scope, error handling, and performance. This update is currently under the beta flag. Ask to get access to it.

We will be going through all these updates on Wednesday 10am EDT during a live session but we'll update you shortly on timings.

Come along on Wednesday 10am EDT to hear more


Why Use Slater?

A few days ago, someone messaged me this exact question.

People are clearly still unsure wtf Slater is and why it's a cheeky tool for any Webflower doing custom code.

So, Witt and I want to show you the following:

1) Why use custom code in Webflow?

2) Why use Slater?

3) How to use Slater


Thomas Carré Website

Thomas Carré is a creative developer that makes funkalicious websites (seriously - check out his portfolio here to see what I'm on about).
Anyway, he recently posted about an award nominated website he made with Webflow and Slater.

We'll be doing a live session this week on how he built this website and how he's using Slater generally.

TBC on timing but stay tuned on Twitter to see when the event will be!


That's all for this week folks!

See you soon,

Slater Team

How has your Webflow Conf 2024 experience been? At Edgar Allan, we are especially excited about Webflow Analyze and Optimize and how we can leverage it for our clients and with Wes. However, at Slater, we are most excited about the GSAP acquisition. We’ve been thinking about how we can better support you as you integrate GSAP and Webflow. Let’s explore how you can use Slater with GSAP: Slater Sessions - GSAP + Webflow via Chat with Witt Learn GSAP for Webflow with Aron Korenblit and Cassie...

Do you get confused when undoing (cmd + z) in Slater? We auto-format your code on save. The auto-formatting updates your code, and those updates get pushed into the undo stack. You can now improve your workflow by formatting the code when you choose—not just on save. To gain more control over when your code formats: Turn off auto-format code in the Code Editor Settings Use cmd + shift + f to format your code We added a handful of other improvements: Console logs and debuggers are now...

Last week, we announced that CSS updates were on the way—and now they're here! You can now generate CSS files just as quickly and easily as JS files. In the video below, we give a quick demo of the new functionality. If you have a Smart Script loaded in your project, you can instantly add CSS. In the demo, we also show how to add CSS in the Webflow designer. Give it a try and let us know what you're building! Community Library 🖍️ Text Highlight ColorCSS code for custom text selection. 🅰...
