Shoutout to @thatsfinsweet and the folks that worked on their Client First System. You guys did an amazing job! I think it's fantastic that you guys touched on the importance of html tags and accessibility. The docs are great. Concise and clear. Great work you guys! 🙌🏼
Great stream today @thatsfinsweet. The more I see about Client-first (https://finsweet.com/client-first) the more excited I get to use it.
Landed my first @webflow build only project 🥳 Gotta give thanks once again to @thatsfinsweet client-first which I heavily used as a selling point.
Made my first @webflow website, Used @thatsfinsweet Client-first style system to keep it organized.
I'm now able to create new web pages at 5x the speed thanks to @thatsfinsweet, with a more consistent structure and no more class naming issues. Good became better when Client First became a daily driver in my workflow.
Taking on my first rebuild challenge practicing @thatsfinsweet client first style system! This practice is helping me understand webflow deeper and what proper development looks & feels like
Client-First is accessible enough yet powerful enough that I consider it the single reason I went from amateur to Webflow pro.
