The Webflow Conf 2026 is ongoing, and their CEO just gave the keynote conference. I dare you to understand half of the AIspeak she's used and to show to it to Joe from Marketing or Linda the PM without getting tarred and feathered. When all VCs have finally drained the planet dry and filled their pockets, I hope they eat high-protein tokens for food.
To-do list done. Thatโs the moment. Built fully in Framer. Scroll-based animation. Finish the last task, and a quiet room fades in: a closed notebook, still air, then โYouโre done for the day.โ

I would swear this is new, or I hadn't noticed: @Framer added a noticeable "Get Template (if free) / Buy template" button on top of the "Made in Framer" button in every template preview. Nice! ๐๐ป
P.S. The OCD Task Force ๐ง reports: " Typographic consistency (font-family, font-size, font-weight and caps choice) and button size consistency have not yet been achieved". ๐ซก
P.S. 2 The OCD Task Force further reports that it would be nice and consistent to see the very same CTA button incorporated in component previews.

Look how perfect this reviews/ blurbs / marquee component is! Great job by @Axis Supply, who makes great components. One for the editorial collection.

I keep thinking about the direction of the @Framer marketplace and I say this because I want Framer to succeed and stay synonymous with great design.
Framer has fundamentally changed the marketplace's character.
The old one felt like an Apple Store: not perfect but curated and trusted. Today it feels more like an open street market (not the good one), anyone can put something on the table and sell it.
That's not bad in itself. Opening the gates is great for creators. But it raises a bigger question: who is the Marketplace actually for? Designers who want to publish and monetise, customers who just want something good or both?
And if customers are part of the equation, how do they know what to trust? A designer can judge good work. A small business owner who just needs a website can't. They may buy something off a nice thumbnail, only to find it isn't very good.
Also, the complexity of choice: too many vs. too few.
The old review process wasn't perfect, but it gave one valuable thing: a quality signal. If that gate is gone, what replaces it? Reviews? Creator reputation? Verified creators? Editorial curation? Some signals exist but they're buried instead of helping customers decide.
So maybe the answer isn't bringing the gate back. Maybe Framer needs a trusted layer above the open marketplace, something maybe inspired by Awwwards, Minimal Gallery, One Page Love (you have the man now, @Rob Hope). A genuinely curated Framer "Space" to discover great work. Not a static Featured section but something always changing: new discoveries, rising work, editor's picks, hidden gems.
The Marketplace stays open, anyone can sell. The Space stays selective, not everything gets editorial attention. Freedom for creators, confidence for customers.
Framer's opportunity isn't the biggest street market for templates. It's to be the place where people think: "If it's here, it's worth your time."
So: if you're removing the gates, what are you building to replace the trust they provided?
This is an ultrashort example of paid content by Zander Whitehurst (https://x.com/zander_supafast). He is actually a genius of UI design. We need more short form video explainers for common obstacles and challenges (i.e. real-word examples of CMS components, replicating editorial or media components, etc.). From Framer itself, or commissioned by Framer.
Imagine a Content Commandoยฎ (Patrol will do, too) searching every Framer community (especially the Feed) and turning every "I can't", "How can I", "Is it possible", "Has anyone managed to do this", "I don't now how", "please help") into a short 1-3 minute explainer addressing that issue.
And then building a Documentation page where all those Short Docsยฎ are listed, tagged and indexed for everyone to use it.
Oh, @Framer, a guy can dream. @Joseph Todaro would need to be in that team, of course.

The CMS text bug that makes a good template look broken in a buyer's hands.
You build the layout with tidy demo copy. The buyer pastes a headline twice as long, and suddenly it wraps into three lines and pushes everything off. The template looks broken, and it is not their fault.
The fix I put on every Framer build: size the text off its container, not a fixed value. Add a code override on the wrapping frame that sets container-type: inline-size, then set the font with clamp(14px, 12cqi, 40px). The 12cqi scales with the container width, and the clamp keeps it readable at both ends. A short title and a long one both sit right.
Buyers never see the override. They just notice nothing breaks when they make it theirs. That is the difference between a template that feels worth paying for and one that feels fragile.
Made a smooth product slider for ecom shops and figured we'd just give it away, completely free. Grab it and show us what you build with it ๐ย ย ๐
I'm sorry to say that the Relume team (the biggest ready-made component library for visual web builders) has done pretty much what I recommended Framer do (only from their product end, which is the UI Kit) in this post: to bring together visual web building and owned UI Kits.
They have now built a web builder based on AI and their unique web component library. Check this out: https://www.relume.ai/publish
I think that @Framer should build its very own component library. Why?
โSo they can leverage it against other visual builders / dev and design tools.
โSo it helps users build certified quality web pages.
โSo people do not have to gamble on Framer UI Kits, with random results (Your Mileage Might Vary) and vendor/developer tie-ins.
โSo people do not have to guess on which type and color style generator will be the professional one.
โSo people at least have a proven foundation for a serious website without gambling on templates that look very fancy and then choke the user's browser and computer memory or overheat the whole system (that happens when you have an old Mac, for instance).
This has been the smartest move by Relume since they ever started. Framer needs, IMHO:
โDesign System management features (basic and friendly, like Figma's, not Token Studio-grade). Handling styles and managing the workspace-level library components is cumbersome or limited, from my very limited experience.
โA Framer UI Kit (with different layers of complexity/detail/branching.
None of those product improvement ideas require that Framer or the user invest more money and time on AI features and tokens. But they would multiply the value and power of both.
I would love to hear everyone's thoughts.

Hey all - I made a short Notion doc for my own community of recent Framer designs/templates I've purchased (audience is mostly authors/creators/entrepreneurs who are definitely NOT designers or Framer experts with a handful of Agencies in the mix who are - but mostly use tools like WP/Carrd/Readymag/etc) and a video walkthrough of some of the thinking behind why I picked and recommend the ones I did to purchase. There seems to be a ton of Framer folk who seem to be wondering how to best sell your designs in light of the recent changes/additions to the marketplace and I thought it might be helpful to share a link here to the video from a buyer of templates perspective - rather than another opinion from a seller of templates - of which there are many! ๐. (excerpt here on the colorful design from @Measured Branding and @Rachel Cohen - the full video with Notion doc - & about half of the designs we bought - and why is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kiBWDonx7s)
Hey everyone! This is my first community post. Thought I'd share some recent news and how I use Framer Agents with voice dictation (using Handy for macOS). Anyone else using it or Wispr Flow or others? Looking forward to posting way more on here and connecting with yourall. Oh I'm on Twitter too here: https://x.com/robhope/status/2091806178703552844
@Framer You have designed a very nice card component for market resources links, but we need to be able to repost author's posts highlighting those resources. Otherwise, they are forced to post twice to tell the world about it:
1. Once with official resource link/card.
2. Again with a regular post linking the component or the OG post.
E. gr. See this post by @Matt No way to repost it.

I find it fascinating that FrameAuth, @Danny Sapio's and @Joel Whitaker's membership environment for Framer, is slowly growing its own plugin garden, like Shopify or WooCommerce. I need to find a client that forces me to use FrameAuth, just to nerd out about it. ๐ค
I've recorded a tutorial on how to use Framer's agent to update the Rail Solutions template to your very own brand guidelines in less than an hour.
Check it out on the link below & curious to hear your feedback:

Dear @Framer team, if I browse the Feed from the app, when I encounter an embedded video, like in this post:
https://sub.chujiqiqi.click/community/posts/Uaqd7bPsvESQf6JMukwYqB
The full page, double arrow button inside the video player is not working for me (MacOS). Also, if you started playing it and you click on the title to watch it on YouTube, the link works, but you have to go back to the in-app video player to stop it from playing concurrently.
Thank you for taking a look at it. ๐๐ป
๐ฃ Some very nice @Framer QoL updates in the Community and Market UI/UX. The CTA and resource details are now clean and direct, and the modals have been properly tamed. Everything is cleaner and effortless. โ https://sub.chujiqiqi.click/updates/community/unified-navigation
