Create a desktop/offline version of Webflow, to be used when traveling or with bad internet connections.
Hi all - this is not something on our roadmap at this time due to some of the technical constraints that would place on our product.
In short, today’s browser-based version of Webflow is essentially a browser within a browser — which means our product can leverage the power of the browser to show you how designs function directly as you build. Furthermore, at present our updates are pushed live to all customers, and supporting an offline version would require a major shift to release based updates that would require new software downloads as the product evolves. Because this shift would require so much technical overhaul, this request is not prioritized over more pressing features/functionality that our customers have requested elsewhere, including this wishlist.
Figma did this in the best possible way. It's not about working offline! It's about having a customized and ready workspace, pinned on my taskbar. It's about Webflow App to be its own thing, not another open tab in my browser.
Offline does not matter, but an app like Figma does; most of us customize buttons on the mouse for different applications, and we like that customization in an app because it cross-functions with the browser, which is not the same. Also, on the browser, we do browsing better. We should dedicate a browser to webflow only, which is not reasonable.
It also consumes more RAM on the browser because you guys can not optimize it better, and each of us uses a different browser. So why not an App where default things handles better and meets our needs
please .. I really want a desktop version.
omg please!!
2024 and I still want this.
I really want a desktop version.
I find it annoying and cluttered to work in a browser. How about we start a Go Fund Me for Webflow to build this? I would donate.
Still want this...
what
I completely agree, it's not really needed...
So when is webflow going to start completing some of these "more pressing features/functionality that customers have requested"? Because I haven't seen any real progress on this overpriced platform in over 5 years! Care to explain way?
Agree with the admin in some sense. Webflow reflects real browser behaviour, this is actually a core idea of website development tool. But I had another issue with Webflow in browser – sometimes it uses around 2Gb memory so my laptop starts warming up to 90C degrees. Probably you can fix this one to make developing experience more sweet. Cheers.
This really should be a MASSIVE priority, especially considering how AWS tanks hard a couple times a year and shuts users out for sometimes up to a week and we lose work in the process.
It would be very useful to convert Webflow to Chrome Web App so that you can install it on Mac easily while keeping all Web features and extensions.
It is a feature already used extensively on the Web by, for example, Google and Microsoft
This can be good and bad; need to work in the browser to test websites but would love an app to make Webflow run more smoothly.
we need to work everywhere, with internet or with out internet so application in laptop may come in hand. thanks webflow... I love webflow so much😉😍
Gareth Higham makes a good point. At least say you will pass it along to the team.
This would be great. Similar to the Adwords desktop editor. It's fast! You make changes on your desktop aplication, and then push them online. This new editor will also eliminate the 100 page limit.
ok, if count votes, this is only third on the list of requests… so how much are you actually prioritising features requests from users?
Create a desktop/offline version of Webflow, to be used when traveling or with bad internet connections.
Simply because; no one can work anywhere on webflow.
that is a HUGE deal for freelancers or studio employees working from home/abroad.
Local offline editing, I would say, is an essential feature we miss, compared to WordPress and other systems that give us the ability to work anywhere in the world by installing a remote server on our hard drive.
Slow or unreliable internet makes webflow unusable and is found outside of cities and towns. We have installed a satellite connection in one of our regular locations away from the office; however, the download speed is fine, but the ping(back and forth) is slow.
So yes, one huge upvote for the many users working away from high-speed internet.
I'm not bothered if it's an app, browser plugg-in, browser cache or anything
