Thanks for your support! 🤟

[@bashar420]

This series is going to be awesome. A second part would be much appreciated.

[@rhinoreign1324]

Amazing & INSANELY helpful! Helped me overcome a hurdle that I've been pondering on for a couple of months. I'm sure there is SO MUCH more to learn from the Master himself... Mr. Alex Iglesias. Thank you for your transparency Finsweet team!

[@skrobonja32]

Damn, this series'is pure gold! Alex, you're explaining all the technical stuff extremely well. It's really easy to follow for anyone 😉 Can't wait to watch the next episodes!

[@babusgabriel]

So glad you guys are diving into this kind of content. I didn't manage to watch this live, but I'll be watching/ re-watching this a couple of times 💪🏼

[@jasinAmsterdam1976]

I feel like this episode was made for me 😄 I got more into javascript since I got serious with Webflow, and learned a ton in the process! Too bad I missed the live one!

[@vagifmammadov6555]

Thank you! This was awesome and very helpful. Love this series idea. Waiting for the second part!

[@KeeganLeary]

Lots of great advice in this stream. Thanks Joe and Alex!

[@alex-pattison]

Great series. I’d love to see a part 2. Thank you!

[@justus4711]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! If you guys put out a course on JS and any other dev stuff I would pay for it in a heartbeat.

[@GregDolan]

Great video 🔥I love the technical content. Really helping us get to the next level 💪. I would love to see more of this and also examples of what can be done with code too. I think a code snippet repository of useful code, examples and walkthroughs would be great too, for where the Finsweet Attributes and Webflow Hacks don't cover what's needed. There are some code snippet places out there, but one with Finsweets magic touch and walk throughs would be great. Looking forward to Part 2. Thanks lads 🙌

[@gemin1546]

Mind is blown. Have been wanting to add source control to Webflow for awhile but would always run into issues. Will be watching multiple times. Part 2 pls! Would love to see the private repo route

[@freshlesh3019754]

This was great. Really needed this kind of explanation for these tools and concepts. Very helpful

[@fs3000]

Hey! This tutorial is start of a next chapter for my development as developer. So happy. Please continue on the subject. Super interesting and eye opening… i already have a question: if i put exported webflow site to src folder, is that enough or i need to ‘convert’ js files to typescript? And then run build command. Thank you very much. Please go on!

[@jameslavine]

This was amazing, thanks Finsweet team. I did have an issue installing pnpm though. I got the following error on MacOS: Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pnpm'. If anyone has any idea how to resolve this it would be much appreciated!

[@labruda]

Love this developer series! Please more :)

[@dmp9356]

You should do a video showing how to do this for webpack projects. I've been struggling with getting it to work since I saw this video lol. Great content regardless though!

[@jaroslavdlask]

I love that you started this series. Webflow is definitely not a no-code tool as they like to present themselves. Not if you really mean it with Webflow.

[@joridrilboor]

This is great!!! Thanks, great workflow

[@Robert-Junior-Studio]

Really helpful! Thanks a lot guys🙂

[@mertma52]

perfect video, you guys are really the best

[@AndreyBest2010]

Good job guys. Thanks!

[@urszulakrawczyk5924]

Great episode! Thanks for that. I just wonder how you deliver the production code (from dist) to the page that is ready. I mean the right way - without changing the rule of gitignore and everything....

[@urszulakrawczyk5924]

Ok I've found everything in the next episodes:) Great work, thanks a lot for sharing such a valuable content!

[@HunterReynolds]

Question: how can I rename my javascript file from the 'index.js' to something more specific like 'website-calendar.js'. I tried renaming manually in VSCode and got an error saying "could not resolve "src/index.js".

[@alexandrsokolov1458]

Thank you very much for this! Can you help on building different scripts for different pages? Like for /blog or /product pages? Rn it bundles everything in single index.js file. Is it the build.js file that needs to be edited?

[@leonvermij7893]

This was awesome! Isn't atom more integrated with GitHub? so why using visual code what is the motivation on that?

[@alexiglesias_me]

Atom was discontinued by GitHub in favor of VS Code!

[@leonvermij7893]

@@alexiglesias_me a really good to know! used to use atom a while back hence the question. thnx for the reply

[@steveturnbull9269]

Yeah - I wondered the same. I can still set Atom as the "open in" default editor in GITHub Desktop, but I've been using VS Code for a while now anyway. Atom seems to have been overtaken by VS Code for most of the serious dev's I know of.

[@robertholtz]

Microsoft makes VS Code and acquired Github. Consequently, they killed Atom and made superior integration between VS Code and Github than anything previously available on Atom. VS Code has quickly become the de facto standard for professional web developers.

[@The-Heart-Of-It]

Darn, my prettier is showing that the formatting is wrong but not updating/formatting on save. Ive made sure the box in setting is ticked, anyone have the same experience?

[@AJ-th2fy]

really good video
