Hello Webflow Sailor,
I am working on a smol framework to let you integrate with APIs using data attributes so all design happens in webflow, but data can be pulled from anywhere.
Is it an idea worth pursuing?
If yes, send me a DM with your email if you would wanna help shape Galleon Data Attributes by being an early user and providing feedback.
That sounds like an amazing idea! Using data attributes to integrate APIs directly into Webflow designs could open up powerful possibilities for non-technical users. It simplifies workflows, allowing seamless data integration without custom code, which many Webflow creators would find valuable. If you’d like feedback or early user insights, feel free to share more details or DM your email—I’d be happy to help shape Galleon Data Attribute
Hi Raae,
I generally reserve data-*
attributes for application-level use. It’s uncommon to see the prefix used in libraries. Neither Finsweet ( fs-*
) or SA5 ( sa-*
and wfu-*
) use them.
Are you familiar with Alpine.js and HTMX? They’re both standard libraries that perform fetch-and-render operations using attribute configuration. If you’re not familiar with them, I’d get very familiar with both so that you can identify gaps / inefficiencies where something better could be designed for Webflow designers.
