Webflow has secured $76m in funding, are we going to see any improvements in your dev team?

One thing we can all tell from this thread is that everyone loves Webflow. There’s so much passion being expressed here it’s amazing :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

But I have to join the crow expressing the frustration of hitting some product limits way too fast.

Personally I can not really disagree with anyone here, most of the points expressed are somehow valid (I didn’t everything so can’t say “all”) :

  • There is a lot of dev work and releases being done on Webflow and we love them
  • However some essential features updates are not being addressed (Designer reliability, or even mobile breakpoints for example)
  • Small features that are basic with other CMS can’t be done without custom code or done at all (CMS live filter for example)
  • The frequency of major releases is too slow (3 years since the last one if I’m not mistaken)

Finally, the lack of transparency regarding the Dev pipeline is adding A LOT to that frustration. Only 2 elements from the Wishlist being marked as “in dev” is a joke…
It’s great to have regular updates from Vlad and @PixelGeek is doing a decent job communicating but the reality is we don’t know what’s happening when and can’t tell our customers about it, which has a business impact as well. @vincent did a nice timeline showing the passed releases but Webflow should really put one together showing what’s to come and when.
