32:02 By the way, for those who may not be aware, it's possible to add a custom class on the parent level and use it to target child elements. For instance, in an image box element, you can add a custom class in the advanced settings, which will be applied to the parent level. This is not an issue in my opinion since Breakdance already assigns default classes to each element, and you can safely target them by prefixing with the custom class assigned. This allows me to control all the same cards from 3-4 different pages, making it easier to manage. I hope this tip is helpful. Thanks for the live show!

Your amazing! Just amazing…man, thanks for all the help your doing, love your 101 course keep it coming.

Really enjoyed this one! Thanks man!

@KevinGeary You got the best mindset for this job. Keep enlightening us!

This is great. Good that I watched it.

Thanks Kevin, this type of training is first class and I'm getting to enjoy drinking from the fire hose!

thanks for sharing, Kevin!

Try Zion builder also once. It is also a class first workflow and very fast builder. Thank you

looking forward to seeing greenshift.

I can sense the righteous anger in Kevin's speech about the lack of essential features in various website builders. I feel the same way about certain equipment in my own line of work. The passion shows me his words are authentic and he really understands his subject.

First time watching a live stream... I've been missing out!

Kevin, I've got to admit, this episode was a bit painful for me. It took me 3 days to watch the entire video from start to finish. I'm a Bricks user and also an O2 license owner. It is nice to know that my increasing comfort with Bricks and ACSS could be easily applied to O2. The Breakdance limitations that you mentioned are not things I'm prepared to endure when I have 2 separate professional page builders that work much better. Great first look video!

Newbie question here from a person with no skills in design having a main focus on SEO. I've never used a page builder before but I am tempted to join this trend to build sites myself. It is Schema Markup a thing handled by a page builder or it is needed a third party SEO plugin for that?

shoving 80 grand into a domain for a new builder is proof enough that Oxygen has no future. I am one of those who watched the live show at Jonathan's channel at the time.

I always enjoy these first look videos since I haven’t taken the time to test out these builders. I’m not looking forward to switching page builders (currently using Bricks and living it) but I do like using the best professional tool available. Thanks for another entertaining video!

I can't be more agree with you about Elementor and Divi. I'm starting to work with Bricks, but I really hope that Oxygen could live forever, cause for me is the best. Furthermore, I wonder what are your thoughts about Zion? I think is another great builder too, but most of the people are ignoring it

Although in regards of the icon box element, you could build it out even more in the element design studio to create the exact version you need to suit your needs.

Whats that Tool at the beginning you create the site with?

I watched that Louis Interview, and it was so refreshingly honest from a business perspective. Louis told things the way they are. What surprises me is that the oxygen community and the so-called "Professionals" are making the same error with Bricks LTD. If the Bricks Developers don't have confidence in their products that they can sell a subscription, neither should the customers, else the story of Oxygen will repeat itself. Any page builder that doesn't have a sustainable SAAS-based business model is a red flag and a no-go zone.

someone posted your video in the BD group, did it get removed? I would like to have seen some real feedback, never mind hey.

Bricks is the way 🎉.

This reaffirms my commitment to Bricks, as while I do prefer certain things in the UI for Breakdance (quickly see all modified properties, css classes organizer, etc), I absolutely despise the presets methodology they use instead of a class-first approach. Much prefer Bricks and I’m sure Bricks will improve to incorporate some of the missing items which can improve the QOL for us. :-)

On those cards you could have assigned it a class id then clicked on it and brings up whole styles panel on right that gives access to everything. I understand that the preferred “class first” but achieves same result.

Kevin, I'm sad that I didn't meet you sooner. I want to ask a question about Inner Circle. I can't speak English, but I can understand your content because of KZfaq's automatic subtitles. Can I also translate Inner Circle content?

Why I can't enable Caption for your videos? If you can enable then do it. It will be easy for us to watch and understand. Becuase English is not our first language. Thanks.

"oh you gotta go to magic area, to create a magic component" 🤣

Any thoughts on greenshift?, please

The LTD for Frames isn't essentially an LTD considering it's 100% useless without ACSS, which needs to be purchased separately and doesn't offer an LTD.

Imagine a developer who created a page builder software and refers to those who use classes as crazy.

Just what I needed!

I think every builder of this kind needs to have PRO mode, to unable css classes and all advanced features, and also be beginer friendly.

Fantastic work as always. Big fan here! However, I'm only watching this out of curiosity. I will never use this product, simply because I don't trust the developer anymore. What he has done to the Oxygen community (including me) will not get my support. Long live Bricks!

28:00 You say that Breakdance doesn't compete with Bricks because its a different kind of builder one is class based etc, but earlier you said that Breakdance cannibalizes Oxygen and competes with it by taking its features etc. Those are very contradictory statements. Breakdance either competes both with Oxygen and Bricks or it competes with neither. Cant be both.

Huge fan of Kevin's work and content. I have to admit though I was a little off put by the stream. I understand it was a first impression and not a review, but I was a little surprised to hear that this was the first impression. It seems like I've seen and participated in posts here and/or the Oxygen group where Kevin has discussed specifics of Breakdance. This could be from observation and not first-hand experience, so the benefit of the doubt is given. That said, I can't help but feel like his opinion of Breakdance is somehow "weighted." I understand where there may be some valid shortcomings, some of which were certainly mentioned in the stream. As he said, all builders have their pros and cons. One example. A common criticism seems to be that there are too many clicks involved in certain things, both from him and others. I understand because I didn't realize there was an easier way at first. Using the setting gear (cog) on the bottom left and simply beginning to type a property solves this problem almost 100% of the time. For example, with the heading element example in the stream. It would have been simple enough to click the element, click the cog and type "Background" and I'll bet by the time you hit "Bac" you would have seen what you were looking for at the top, and changed the setting. Problem solved. I don't see this as being any less convenient than simply typing a class name, or perhaps adding css. There's no need to click 10 times, is the point. Could it be quicker? Yes, it could be right there, front and center. So could a hundred other things, I guess they felt it wasn't something that needed to be most of the time. Again, if it was truly a blind first impression, that is understandable. Maybe one suggestion to the BD team is to make some of these functions more obvious. There seems to be a lot packed into BD that isn't obvious to everyone. Other than that I can't help but feel like it's a little unfair to continue to insinuate that basically anyone using this is making Fischer-price sites, or whatever. I think though many many hours of use, Breakdance can work fine for large scale sites. We'll probably never change each others minds on this, but perhaps find some middle ground. I think Kevin tends to speak in absolutes a lot. I can be guilty of this with things I know a lot about, too. That's a backhanded complement, of sorts :)

Hi

Even React and all these new frontend frameworks are now using component-based styling more than class-based and reusable components like the global blocks here. If you don't like the philosophy then I think you wont like vue and react
