Great work from everyone on the team here 👏

So much cool stuff in the works!! 🤩

[Framer @framer]

July’s Community update recaps what we’ve shipped since launch, with a big push on discoverability. Marketplace rankings are more varied, curated landing pages make browsing simpler, and updates to profiles, Gallery, and Hype help great work get found. More coming soon.

@ThatUIGuy23 @framer @aandreug Should be fixed for you good sir!

[cal morris @_CalMorris]

@launchlyhq @aandreug @framer We are working behind the scenes to improve the wording and auto communications around this, apologies! You will receive a response soon from our team

[cal morris @_CalMorris]

@deespnr @aandreug hey, do you see any difference now?

[cal morris @_CalMorris]

Hey, wanted to clarify a few things here!

The stats in the creator dashboard use an different method vs what we use now in the community

As mentioned before by @aandreug, the creator dashboard is no longer being updated correctly and will be removed soon to avoid confusion 🙏

Hello @framer @aandreug ! This is becoming more confusing and frustrating by the day. On one hand, we have the Creator Space, where all template statistics are available in a single view, which makes far more sense from a creator's perspective.

[cal morris @_CalMorris]

@jean_gez @deespnr @aandreug hey, do your stats look better now?

[cal morris @_CalMorris]

@FloNocode @framer hey! I took a look at this, do the numbers look better for you now?

[cal morris @_CalMorris]

Now that the secret is out about the new COMMUNITY we’ve been building at @framer, I wanted to share some of the quieter work that went into making sure Marketplace resources could feel at home there 🧵

[cal morris @_CalMorris]

@deespnr @aandreug Leave it with me - I'll do an investigation into this!

[cal morris @_CalMorris]

@deespnr @aandreug How so? Can you dm me with what you are seeing here please?

[cal morris @_CalMorris]

@FloNocode @framer You will be able to view previously uploaded tutorials and add new ones yep!

[cal morris @_CalMorris]

@FloNocode @framer Correct, right now tutorials are not available on the community but all previous ones will be once we roll out support for it.

There will be a dedicated tab in the resources sections for tutorials.

[cal morris @_CalMorris]

@FloNocode @framer We are not! These will be back soon - the team are working on quite a few things at the moment but they are on the list!

For once, the bug was in Chrome, not Safari. I was almost proud of it until I had to ship it around.

Hit this while building the @framer community. Streaming video on the web usually comes in as HLS. Little segments chopped up, with a manifest tying them together. Safari's played it natively for years. Everyone else decodes it in JS with MSE (aka hls.js).

Chrome's now building native HLS playback. It's early. The demuxer chokes on certain files. demuxer_error_could_not_parse; nothing renders.

Worst kind of bug. It's clearly an error, but the element's onError doesn't consistently surface it. Occasional videos, occasional viewers. Works perfectly in an isolated repro, then misbehaves in the wild.

Consistency is the whole game with video, and consistency is exactly what I couldn't get.

So I reverted to MSE playback. The cost: a tiny hitch between loops instead of a seamless one, on certain videos. Every video plays now, which beats a perfect loop that sometimes doesn't.

Chrome got me this round. There might be some workarounds, though. I'll keep poking at it once their native HLS grows up a bit. (bug: https://t.co/wGFagRQaDG)

Video in the post by @monmichalczyk, the person who broke Chrome! I promise I'll get to the end of this.

Will keep you posted on how it resolves 👀

@neueframe @framer 🙏 the team worked super hard on this behind the scenes, I can't take full credit!!

[アンドレイ @unsoundscapes]

Using Framer Agents to update your site is great, but did you know that you can also ask questions about site’s analytics in plain text?

We worked on this functionality in my team @framer!
