Query on Custom Library Development for Webflow Projects

·

Question for the webflow devs: Do you develop your own library in addition to Relume? Sometimes I build something cool, and possibly reusable, whether that's a section or a component, and I don't really have a workflow save it and use in other projects...

Of course, save as much as you can. Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) is very important

Thanks Nenad. Where do you save your sections and components yourself, to reuse in other projects?

We do quite a lot of custom coding, and that's saved in github repository. For Webflow we save everything on one Site. Try to keep it design agnostic, so it can be styled quickly and look different on other projects.

Riiight... yeah... for custom code that makes a lot of sense. I am currently very much beginner at coding. What kind of stuff do you use custom code for? Wondering if I should invest in learning to code... Already trying to learn too many things, i would say!

Coding will be really useful for Webflow too, it helps you understand how the web works, what are some limitations, how to optimize your website for performance, .etc We switch between Webflow and Astro framework with Sanity CMS for most of our website work. But, it's a whole other rabbit hole. My advice for you is to start with basics, get REALLY comfortable with them. Everything else will come with time

That sounds like good advice 🙏
