Feature Requests

The layers panel in Figma and other design tools allows users to get a high-level view of the structure of their pages, and quickly find and select components. A layers panel in Makeswift would provide the same user experience. We are also planning on releasing an embedded components API, which would allow teams to have components on a page that are not visually placed on the page. Without a layers panel, it would be difficult for users to select and configure these new types of embedded components.

Currently, it is difficult to show draft work to external stakeholders. We have a preview feature, but you have to be a user in the workspace, which requires a member seat. You can also just publish a page, but then it's actually live, which is not always what you want to do to get feedback. Guest users will be a new type of user role which will not be counted against your member limit. Guests will be able to view all aspects of a workspace, but will not be able to make any edits to sites and pages, or changes to settings.

Currently when a user has misconfigured their host, they would experience an infinite spinner with no helpful messaging. This would give users error messaging related to their specific issue and provide a link to the related developer doc to help them solve their issue.

Currently the browser bar displayed at the top of the builder is static and cannot be interacted with. Users should be able to interact with the browser bar as they would any browser to navigate their site and go directly to a page. This would include navigating to pages created in Makeswift, hardcoded pages in a host, and even external pages from one's site.

Add an input in the Files manager to allow users to search for files and directly navigate to them.

Allow users to change the sorting of files based on the following options: Name (ascending and descending) Recently added (ascending and descending)

Twitter has rebranded to X, and the icon is currently not available within our social links component. Requests have also been made for adding the Slack icon.
