Framer Rebuild
An opportunity to give a try to this new version of Framer and explore all its possibilities, in the canvas but also with code components.
V11.0 – Dec 31, 2021

I've been using Framer X and Bridge for many of my experiments, and I loved what this team has been creating around its tool, with powerful features, a great community, and an exciting vision.
With Framer Sites, I wanted to see if it could help me be more productive with my website (e.g., adding features and pages and experimenting more). Because replicating the work I've been doing in Figma with code was boring and not a source of learning, I've been interested in this new approach and tool of Framer.
I love to spend time in a code editor and give life to features, but as the implementation part of my website is easy, I often find it repetitive, time-consuming, and not fun. It was also a source of frustration as I wanted to spend this time on something else: creating new stuff, not replicating something with a different language. I'm still using Figma before Framer, but differently (upcoming blog post!).
I loved the first hours I spent inside Framer. It was refreshing, fast, and enjoyable to see how the features of the Framer X version evolved into Sites (components, store, code, etc). I can't wait to spend more time on it and finally push my ideas to production.
