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.
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.

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

Wow really, why so many upvotes!? Disagree.
Desktop app is not even needed, not gonna help anyones workflow, if anything it'll just slow down the Webflow product/dev team, more software s**t to maintain, update and OS's to support...
There so many other (more important) functional, platform and technical limitations on the Wishlist that are much higher priority than a desktop app IMHO.

Technical limitations? How does Figma have an offline app then?

Curious, Figma seems to have nailed the browser and desktop functionality... offline updates sync when connected. May be worth looking at how that's done. With such a large user base Webflow has it would no doubt be a hit!

Appreciate the response and I, too, would rather have the functionality mentioned (browser-within-a-browser) than software downloads. Membership and other wishlist items are way more important to me!

Thanks for this response, although i'd love to have it that makes sense to me. I'll sacrifice this for other features.

Yes, please! This will be very helpful while traveling, especially flying!
Attachments Open full size
Je suis complètement d'accord Ça serait vraiment très intéressant de travail auand il n'y a plus de connexion internet
Attachments Open full size
I agree, this would be a great option for those who have bad internet connections or those who travel quite often, or even just work on right period. I hope this is in the works and will be ready in the near future.
