Hi, just wanted to say that I love Relume publish! I built a website with it yesterday and it was a smooth build - the agents are really good. I have some feedback/questions:
Could you add the ability to add a background image into any section/component? I have designed some graphics that I want to add into the white sections to add a bit of texture etc
When I add links (like cal.com) and select 'open in new window'. They're opening in the same window once site is published.
Are you keeping the Relume Export product and will the two products interact (publish and export)?
When roughly will the CMS features be available?
Will you be doing an integration with Framer and or Figma + code export?
Will you integrate with Make.com too?
Really looking forward to the hero uncommon components with built in animation and interaction effects.
Hey Andrea K. - So glad you are enjoying Publish! 🫶🙌
Not natively and I will do a crawl of our roadmap to see if there is any mention of this - I think of all the things on your list here, this one might take the longest to land due to priority - however there is a reasonable workaround too. So you could drop your published URL into AI and ask it to generate (or insert) your graphics in the background of the section using CSS (or JS) depending on what you are doing. You can barely tell, but I had Claude create an artifact for me that lets me fine-tune the hero background animation (I wasn't trying to spend a lot of time on it) and so there are these gradient lights that move around slowly. I also had it change up how the navbar animates on scroll and added locomotive scroll to the whole page, animated icons, animated a stagger load-in, etc. The before | the after
I'll verify and file that bug - thanks for flagging that!
Yes, keeping Relume Exports - the two products won't directly interact no, they are built completely differently - however if you have a Relume Export share link, you can drop this into Relume Publish and it'll grab everything - it might rewrite the copy or it might choose different components, but it'll do 80% of what you already had just fine. The other way around will likely never happen but if you're end goal is to get your Relume Publish site into Webflow or Figma - we're working on something to make that possible using AI. So again, same result - 80% - not a direct one-to-one export like we've traditionally done. I'm actually been okay with the AI version because it also lets me insert my personal preferences into the exporting of the site - its a far more fluid export than a very rigid one.
Roughly - and if Dan was answering this he would say yesterday....I mean can we get it the before yesterday? We're pumped about CMS too. A real answer...I try so hard to avoid answering timing questions but I can safely say in the next 2 months (or much sooner). I personally can't speak to exactly when it would drop. BUT I have seen demos, and it. is. awesome. So fast, so smooth. My ETA is leaving the team room to breathe.
So the same export concept as above could potentially apply to Framer as well. We'll be releasing this concept next week so by then, you'll have a better idea of what I'm talking about, and how it could expand to other tools.
I do think that automation tools like Zapier, Make, n8n are on the list - just not for the first round.
Saw demos for motion/interactions the other day as well - they are coming! Now that we have that unlocked, uncommon component work can kick off - I agree with you - looking forward to those!
Hope that helps clarify things - very much appreciate your feedback here - even though I answered them here, I think the fact that you asked them helps us out A LOT! Gives us a peek into what is important to you as a Relume Publish builder! 😄 Keep it coming and happy building! 🔥🙌
