I make web things. Building @pagyco. Previously @hopin. Also built @bloggico.

Finally shipped this in private beta, who wants to try it?

@vladmoroz What do you think of shallow selection with single-click drilling?

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

This is one of the things I’m changing in the new version of Pagy.

Deep selection makes it impossible to select parent layers if they don’t have padding or gaps in them (unless you rely on a layers panel, which I’m trying to avoid).

On the other hand, the default behavior of Figma and Sketch is not great to me either, because:

1) Double-clicking multiple times is annoying.

2) You get zero indication of what you’re selecting if the children don’t have visual styles delimiting their bounding box.

So I’m going for a middle ground: shallow selection but with single-click drilling.

Selecting a container enables hover highlighting and further single-click selection on its children.

The only downside I see is that you can’t drag a container after selecting it (if there are children below the pointer), but I think that’s a good compromise.

In most design tools clicks without modifiers select the shallowest frame under the cursor (outermost wrappers).

In Paper we target the deepest frame (most nested).

Thoughts on what we do?

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

In the new layout system every container works the same way, and can be either a column, row, or grid.

Here’s the new grid layout mode:

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

@tonyennis Yes that’s in the cards, I’m trying to get the foundations right first.

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

I heard designers like canvases so I built one.

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

@shawnroos Yet to see if that’s a good thing ha.

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

Shipping soon in private beta, let me know if you’d like to try it.

I’ve been working on a complete revamp of Pagy’s layout system and editor (for the last time), as the current one turned out to have many limitations.

This is also part of a small pivot to target actual web designers and agencies instead of non-technical people (but while still keeping it as simple as possible for them).

Still lots to do but here’s a sneak peek:

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

@heyecs @Shopify Congrats Evan! 👏

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

@ProyectoresE En el menu que sale al clickear Add block, la última opción, HTML.

Igualmente lo acabo de probar y no funciona bien, ese código ya no es recomendado por los navegadores modernos. Te recomiendo buscar algún otro servicio.

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

Introducing Pagy 2.0:

A free drag-and-drop website builder for making simple, responsive websites for anything you need.

Best part? The new Free plan lets you use custom domains completely for free.

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

@ProyectoresE Debería funcionar si.

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

@ProyectoresE No nativamente por ahora, pero si puedes conectar cualquier servicio externo, como Google Analytics, usando custom code.

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

@hilartdotcom @pagyco Sorry but not at the moment!

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

@hilartdotcom Curious, why did you expect that?

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

A few minor updates I shipped recently after painfully watching too many user sessions with questionable results:

Aligning elements within a row is now done at the row level instead of dragging the individual children up/down.

The latter seemed more intuitive initially, but turns out it makes it hard to align things if there is little height difference, plus it led to many people placing items in non-ideal places.

This also allowed me to add a new Stretch setting, useful for making columns have the same height.

[Hernán Sartorio @hernansartorio]

Made some small improvements to dragging blocks within rows.

Now if a block moves all the way over another they’ll swap places, if not they’ll just overlap, all in a single gesture.
