👋 Hello again,
Yep, it’s been another busy week. And it genuinely feels like the right moment to move from Classic to Elements (if you’ve not done so already).
The new Store is live, components are shipping fast, and the platform is evolving in a way Classic simply isn’t anymore. If you want help making the jump, there’s even a new third-party migration service ready to guide you through the process.
And with our Black Friday Sale, there’s never been a better time to get started with Elements.
Let’s dive in 👇
🎉 1. What’s New This Week?
Here’s a quick rundown of everything we shipped and launched this week, plenty of good stuff to dig into!
Launched Before After Component (via Store)
Launched Vol 4 Abstract Visual Resources (via Store)
Posted Elements Dev Talk Ep3
And so much more, it’s been a crazy busy week…
📺 2. Elements Dev Talk Ep3
In last weeks Dev Talk Ben and I walk through the latest updates to Elements, including a first look at the new Store Library features, the purchases and installed sections, instant updates, and a bunch of general improvements landing in the next release.
We also dig into the upgraded background components, CMS-powered background images, angled backgrounds, and how more focused third-party components will slot into the ecosystem as the Store opens up.

🛠️ 3. Recommended Tools & Resources
This week I’ve highlighted two apps that genuinely stand out. One is a sharp, well-built Mac app, and the other is a web tool we rely on every week.
Mac App: I haven’t used Bloom yet, but it’s on my list. It looks like a slick, modern take on Finder with some seriously smart organisation features.
Web App: We use Riverside to record our Weekly Dev Talk and it’s made the process really seamless. If you’re looking to start something similar, I can highly recommend it. Use our link to get 50% off for the first two months.
