Future development of Ollie

    Having beautiful static patterns is one thing but what about more advanced features such as animations, dynamic data, query builder, support for flex box and css gird, will those be featured in future updates? Right now these are not possible with block editor and you need other plugins to make the pages more interactive but it would be nice if Ollie was a full fledged builder enhancing the block editor as the likes of Cwicly and Greenshift.

    Also, advanced post layouts such as popular WordPress news themes as this example.

    I want to use your theme for my next project but I would like to know if these advanced features will be possible in the near future.

    Hi there,

    These are certainly powerful features, but they would not be features we’d ship in the theme. rather an Ollie plugin. I can say we’ve got a few of these things on the roadmap for our pro offering, but no set timeline for release.

    Right now, we’re focusing on getting the core experience right. Making sure our patterns are easily editable and users know how to work with the new editor and all the new features. There’s a lot of education that comes with this new editor.

    We’re also trying to stay as lightweight and close to the WordPress core experience as possible so we don’t have to build another page builder plugin like Cwicly or Greenshift. Although they do have some really nice features that we’re interested in as well!

    Really appreciate your feedback these past few days!

    An Ollie plugin would be fine too. It is just better to have a unified experience instead of using a theme from one developer, an animation plugin from another and a query plugin from another. It becomes chaotic after a while and more chances something will break with every update. And judging from the top notch quality experience you bring with the Ollie theme, I would much rather have all the tools for serious custom design under the Ollie umbrella.
