We're back for another round of Making + Building, and this time Tim is behind the keyboard. Take it away...
👀 From the web: what caught our eye this month
This beautifully crafted piece of work by Snask was created to promote a new typeface, Hamster. The production and art direction are truly impressive. What may look like 3D renders or CGI is actually a hand created sculpture. Laser cutting, paint and incredible photography.
We love it when our physical and digital worlds collide.
🆕 New in no-code: exciting new tools that we can't wait to try
This month we've have been digging into Wized. Wized extends the functionality of Webflow, allowing you to build full-on web apps by connecting your Webflow project to external data sources.
Why is it awesome?
Until recently, building all but the most basic web apps has been off-limits in Webflow without some significant workarounds.
Low-coders are well versed in using tools like Zapier and Make to join the dots between different platforms, but it can be quite clunky (and costly!) to maintain and build in this way.
Wized changes everything: securely storing your API keys then allowing you to pull or push data from external sources before surfacing that data inside of your Webflow site.
We're super excited to add Wized to our tech stack and start extending the functionality of Webflow.
📱 In the studio: what we've been making
This month we launched a ton of new features for the Fruittella Curiosities experience. Since its initial launch, the user base has steadily grown, allowing us to start observing how people are interacting with the microsite.
We were tasked with boosting engagement on the platform. Our solution:
- A more engaging welcome screen
- Reduce the number of taps from start to launch
- Added saving and sharing functionality
Why not give it a try for yourself?
🔊 On the speakers: what we're listening to
L.F.O - SBTRKT, Sampha and George Riley (Spotify). New release, an electronic treat for the ears.
