The Webflow Custom Code Stack NOBODY is Talking About

[@GregFaulkner-l4k]

This is awesome! Safari always throws an error when I try to load localhost code so this seems like a great solution

Same with Brave!

So the S3 link is not used for other than a placeholder? If the code would be in S3 it would need to fetch it every time by the client? And if I publish from another computer without having those files locally?

[@webflowandcode]

The S3 is where the production code sits. It’s not a placeholder. My method works through GitHub so you should have access to your development code wherever you are working from.

[@tommisaltiola]

So the local is committed to git and the github is pushed to S3? I got confused. Anyways, Im setting this up as soon as I understand it, been waiting for a solution that works without paid 3rd parties..

[@webflowandcode]

You got it. There’s a bit of setup involved but you can play around with it by directly uploading to s3. You might even try Firebase

Thanks for this vid, so cool. But while you're editing you don't have access to internet?

[@webflowandcode]

Sorry maybe I didn’t explain. I can go hours with perfectly fine internet and then it’ll just drop randomly. A quick restart of Proxyman and it’s fine

[@MrRipSilver]

Thanks !! I’ll give it a try 😊

For codesandbox its essential for me to use since it has a compiler. I use vue. However that workflow does seem quite ingenius. No more updating dev cdns to live etc. Do you know of any way to allow vs code to have a realtime compiler?

[@webflowandcode]

You’d setup a Vue project locally. Webpack IS a compiler. Codesandbox is not doing anything you can’t already do here, it’s just a project stored in the cloud
