Core Framework - Unboxing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- This is a hastily thrown-together RUclips live that I did a few hours after Core Framework was released into the wild. If anything, it's more of an unboxing than a "1st look," as it was literally a re-recording of the 1st time I had even seen the product. (the first take had audio issues)
This is definitely not meant to be an overview of the product or anything that would convince someone to use or not to use it. These are simply my initial impressions as I stepped through it, so please forgive my fumbling around and/or anything I may have missed or gotten wrong.
I’ll be taking a closer look at this in the coming days and hopefully doing a deeper dive.

I agree with your points. The search feature and multiple projects in the dashboard are a must for this tool.
Thank you Adam, For the time & effort given to review this.
At first was scared since everything was on the app site, till you put the plugin works independently on WP site.
The component part, Just WOW WOW, I loved it, Damn!
Promising product, I wish them the best. looking forward to this for more.
Thanks, Kareem. I’m not sure I’d call this a review as much as a FAFO first look ;)
Great overview! On point, and I agree with your remarks as well. Really good and polished product, and it's only on version 1.0.
Useful! I'm starting to appreciate this tool. Oxyninja was a joy to work with previously. ACSS is a little expensive for what I do but this is nice.
It has a lot going for it. There are some v1.x issues to work through and that’s to be expected. The flexibility and ease of the framework builder is what really sets it apart in my mind.
@@AdamLoweIO agree
Thanks for your overview, Adam! I'm normally using my own (SASS) files but especially the color and components preview is nice (even if I prever a code editor for full flexibility).
But similar to ACSS, as a developer I feel a bit constrained and also dependent if I can't modify all things the way I want.
24:16: I'm wondering why they doubled the output here, because max() and min() is a real compensation for clamp(), not just a fallback. And calc() insn't need inside clamp()... not a big deal but it bloat up the file size together with other variables you perhaps never need.
So I am not yet completely convinced by the tool, but it is only the first version and maybe everything will be improved or extended.
I hear you. I’m considering trying to recreate my own “framework” using this tool. If nothing else, it’ll be an interesting experiment.
Thank you for making this video! I would love to hear more about your boilerplate 😉
Ah, it’s nothing fancy at all. FrankenCSS would probably be the best way to describe it ;)
I’m actually thinking of trying to add my defaults into Core Framework to see how the process looks. If I do that, I’ll document it and post the results.
I’m also planning to do a video about my “tech stack”, so including some of the default CSS I use might go well as part of, or adjacent to, that.
@@AdamLoweIO I tend to customise default WordPress styles and have been wondering if I could use the Core Framework for it too so your plan sounds great! I'm also curious about how to use the Core Framework for coding from scratch including the boilerplate!
Nice! Much appreciated…
Appreciate the work and effort, but more than an hour to figure out if this tool is for me is a tough watch. Especially with the bombardment of add-ons / extensions / frameworks for Bricks that keep popping up. I'd prefer 1 faster paced 10 min recap of what it can do, who it is for, how it compares to similar tools - and maybe then do an in-depth video for those wanting that. Obviously, miles may vary here, and some people will love this. Not for me though.
Oh, I get it, also hate long videos. This was a hastily thrown together RUclips live and is definitely not meant to be an overview of the product or anything that would convince someone to use or not to use it. This was literally the 2nd time I had even seen it, so I wanted to do that on video just to capture my initial impressions as I stepped through it.
thank you, Adam, wow! I was literally just about to get the Ltd for ACSS today.. Is there anything that Core Framework doesn't do in comparison to ACSS?
I’m not comfortable saying anything definitive after only playing with CF for an hour or so. A lot of work went into both products and I think you’ll be happy with either. If I had to choose though, I’d go with CF since the framework and editor app are 100% free and they are only making money off Page Builder integrations. Also, the configurability of CF is impressive as hell.
@@AdamLoweIO thank you for your recommendation. I trust your opinion and expertise. and I appreciate the care and about the amount of work you put in your videos. always enjoy them. they carry tremendous value
Great thoughts. I appreciate the time you dedicate to one of my passion. But, is there any discount code for this product? Thanks for all you do :)
I’m not sure if they have any discounts other than the grandfathered OxyNinja license and the crossgrade discount. I try to stay away from affiliate programs, and I’m not even sure if they have one.
@@AdamLoweIO Thanks for the answer and for your time! :)
Great video! Why don't you use oxygen as your main builder any more?
Oxygen is a fine product, but I moved away from it for a combination of reasons. 1) The add-on ecosystem that made it usable was unstable and crumbled after Soflyy announced their Breakdance product, 2) I was having performance and system resource issues on larger sites with heavy traffic which prompted me to dive into the world of custom PHP-based themes, and 3) I found that standardizing on custom themes build in Pinegrow provided more benefits with with very few drawbacks aside from the learning curve.
@@AdamLoweIO I reached similar conclusions with Oxygen (even though we still use it). What is your take on Bricks?
@@AyDeeSandra Bricks is probably your best bet for a dev-focused page builder these days. I worry about the quality and reliability of the 3rd party ecosystem, though. That's the problem with any of these solutions that has "bolted on" pieces. It's only as strong as its weakest link.
FWIW, I've moved away from page bulders entirely and just use custom themes and the block editor (with custom blocks).
I would love to se what your base css file looks like❓
It’s in a state of disarray right now since I’m doing more things with block themes. I’m relying less on Sass and doing more with theme.json. Of course, give me a few months and I’ll probably change it all up again!
could you turn on subtitles? Please🙏🙃
Auto subtitles will be generated soon, something like 48h, because this was a live stream, not premade video.
I’m out with family this morning, but I’ll try running it through Descript when I’m back at my computer to get some subtitles up sooner than later.
@@AdamLoweIO Enjoy with the family. You offer this for free and we are not going to demand more from you than you already give.
Machine transcripts are now available. I used Descript to make them since RUclips's timing is unpredictable.
@@AdamLoweIO Thank you very much. I didn't know that youtube has to process subtitles. As always, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'll try to be more patient next time ;)
how can i find out how dark/light mode works?
For that, you'd probably need to check with the developer. I've only toyed it with it and haven't done a deep enough dive. Dark/light mode is a challenging thing to implement though, and it goes beyond just having a framework that supports it.
Seems Gutenberg integration search still not working in version 1.0.2 (local test site using Laragon). Just see spinning wheel.
I saw this morning that they are still working on some Gutenberg issues. It’s probably worth putting in a bug report in case they don’t know that this is still happening or in case there is something specific to LocalWP they need to account for.
Yes, oddly enough when I installed the same local site on my mac using local by flywheel the search function works. The site on Laragon is Windows 11. Not sure where to raise possible issue.
BTW, thanks for your valuable video!
@@chrispoole4084 I couldn't reproduce that exact issue in Laragon, but I did run into something else. I just shot the CF developers an email with a Loom video and a note that you were having other issues in Laragon. This is weird!
Interesting. I installed Local by Flywheel on Windows 11 computer and tried site on that platform but without success. Have now tried on 3 Windows computers with same result of spinning wheel. Only works on the mac. Maybe a problem with Windows rather than Laragon?
How does this compare to advanced themer?
I’ve only briefly used advanced themer. From what I can tell, there is a bit of overlap since AT can manage styles, classes and variables. But… AT isn’t a full framework, like this is. AT also offers a lot of other features that CF doesn’t.
My gut says that the two would play together nicely, but that you should really evaluate your requirements to determine what you need rather than using both for no good reason.
