Hi. Recent Wordpress convert. Even a more-polished Showcase would be a huge help.

1. Right now browse vs search are completely different with search not allowing filters like 'cloneable' & the right/cmd + click doesn't work when trying to open in new tab.
   

2. Ability to categorize likes into personal 'lists' or collections.
   

3. New modal pop-up preview isn't helpful. Hover reveal for live 'preview/view project' option would solve both issues.
   

4. Some sort of internal or community policing for broken / bad designs.
   
   

YES! I usually have to spend HOURS looking through all the templates to find all the sections I need (that correlate with my designs), but they are usually spread across 3 or 4 different templates. So then I end up paying a ton of money for 3-4 templates just so I can use 1-2 components from each template TO BUILD ONE SITE.

Please see Duda’s section templates. They have them built-in with the app, so when you click ADD NEW PAGE SECTION, you get a list of beautifully designed sections under each category (hero, about us, team, contact us, features, etc.).

Love and fully support the idea for a component marketplace. But I think they should basically be symbols. For that to be feasible you should first make the symbol section better (larger/actual previews, folders, seeing nested symbols, etc.).

Then it should be that you can just subscribe to a folder of symbols and they show up in your symbols sidebar. Basically just how it works with symbols in Figma/Sketch where you can subscribe to libraries and then use them in your design.

Also lets please have public and private libraries. That way you could basically build a company design system and you invite people to use that library of symbols in their webflow sites. Or you make it public.

That would be awesome!

This would speed up the process on projects 10x. Giving you more time to spend on the creative parts of the project.

This is an awesome idea. Having previously worked with Adobe Muse - there was such a vast market of not only templates but also tons of customizeable components - various menus, galleries, lightboxes, sliders, etc....This is void at Weblow. I spoke to a 3rd party developer that had done lots of great things for Muse but also a few things for Webflow and asked them if they'd be doing more items for Webflow now that Muse is ending and their response was that Webflow is very limited for plugin developers. 

I would suggest that you drive towards the same goal that the entire HTML specification is moving towards - reusable custom HTML components.  Essentially the ability to define new elements - i.e. <my-banner color="red">This is banner text</my-banner> or <login-form/>.  These custom elements will be first class citizens of HTML - complete peers with existing elements like <div> or <ul>.  This is where HTML is going, and it's the sole reason for the existence of all of the most popular web development frameworks (vue, angular, react).

Add a Vue container to your existing palette.  The user then puts whatever he/she wants in it, including existing elements and other other previously created components.  When finished, the user drags it back to the palette where it is given a name.  From that point onward, the new component would be used exactly the same as any other palette element.

Whatever is in the component would be written out as a fully encapsulated vue single file component (a .vue file) with its own template and scoped CSS.  And BTW, don't even think about shipping this feature without the ability to nest components to any desired level.

Do this, and your product will suddenly become much more than the design and prototyping tool it currently is - supporting this would make it feasible for use by business systems developers - essentially increasing your potential user base by orders of magnitude.  I would guess that for the most part, your primary customers are design teams and UI/UX persons.  I know that in its current state, your tool can only be used to provide an overall look and feel for enterprise level developers to mimic in their development efforts - the best of these may be using the code your tool generates, but probably no one or very few are doing it seamlessly via automation.

Supporting the creation and use of reusable custom components would open the door to your tool becoming a staple of nearly every enterprise developer in the world - and the vast majority of them are all moving towards the use of reusable components.  For every design user you may have, there would be anywhere from a handful to hundreds of enterprise level developers.

With the ability to visually construct component based forms and pages, your product would be more valuable than platinum to their employers. 

Doing this would pretty much obsolete the need for classes and Symbols - A component could encapsulate both of those in a much more intuitive and concrete manner.   CSS in a component does not effect anything outside of that component.

This is such a Great idea: I would LOVE a components marketplace since this would make our lives soo much easier!

I can't wait to see how the Marketplace will work when ready!

As we integrated different components across multiple publishing platforms (Shopify, Weebly, CloudFlare, Wix, etc), I'm excited to add our library to Webflow as well!

A few notes:

- content should be dynamic (to work with the backend)
- there should be a store front with reviews and most popular apps
- components should be completely responsive
- users should be able to subscribe to each component as a SaaS product

Cheers!

That's just a dream feature

This is going to be beyond Awesome. We are currently looking for a tool that allows us to create a design system. We've tried sketch, InVision, Figma, Atomic, Framer but they lack what we can do in Webflow for high-def prototyping. "Components" as you describe them above will be a game changer since every tool out there is trying to be THE TOOL to build design systems. You have a clear advantage in IMO since you do actual html/css/js and not just static representations. If you get this right and communicate its power to the world, you will be THE TOOL.  

Expect to see some crazy stuff on the market when this gets released :)

Honestly, this could be tied into the #1 trending wishlist item right now: cross site copy/paste. You would need the ability to "copy" individual elements or symbols into your site not only from one of your sites to another but from a general public marketplace (just like themes).

A marketplace for the community to share these elements (after being approved by Webflow) would be great. Either share them for free or simply charge a monthly rate to have access to everything. Designers who contribute get paid for the popularity of their element/widget. 

Or maybe integrations with Webflow? Say, maybe a dynamic element? Or e-Commerce?

Great idea. 10/10 would buy + build components

this could get dangerous for selling themes and templates, how would licensing work, components would all have to be GPL 

I'm really in love of WebFlow, and I think as well that a collection of premade components can be helpfull for speeding up the building of some sections. Another platform for making websites (not comparable to Webflow) is offering like this (see attachement).

Maybe it is an idea to implement in Webflow.

Really interesting idea! I think some kind of component review would be needed, the last thing we want is a marketplace filled with poorly constructed components. Looking forward to see how this idea develops.

Reminds me on how http://blocsapp.com/ does it. "Would make webflow greater again" :)
