seb2022Q: New Priorities and Unfulfilled Long-Awaited Features and Updates?
Hello,
I have a few pre-purchase questions. After testing Microthemer with Breakdance and other builders/plugins, I'm very interested in the unlimited LTD tier.
However, I've noticed limited progress on the roadmap over the past year, specifically regarding the features outlined in this article/video (meanwhile, it seems AI, Gutenberg, and other aspects have taken precedence, based on what I've read here and elsewhere).

While I understand the increasing industry focus on AI and SaaS, my primary interest lies elsewhere, as I already have those capabilities in my tech stack if needed.
If I purchase today, can I expect the roadmap promises—particularly the non-AI updates like GSAP integration and other enhancements—to be addressed in the near future?
Thank you for your time and consideration. ❤

Hey Seb! ;)
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
From what I've tested, it works well with Breakdance even though it's not officially highlighted, and also with plugins that are usually complicated to customize.
The tool can help me better understand CSS and improve my skills in this area. It's truly valuable, and I hope you'll continue enhancing it in the right direction.

Regarding animations, Motion.page looks promising but has no discount on the LTD currently. Despite its excellent reputation, it seems like a resource-heavy powerhouse limited to animations only. Greenshift offers appealing features too but would require changing my entire technical stack, and appears to be Gutenberg-oriented only.
3/4
In essence, no alternative seems to match Microthemer's universal on-the-fly editing capabilities, even in its current and perfectible state.
However, I find myself struggling with the panel customization. The workflow could be more fluid, modern and precise. Navigation between options can be confusing, and features like the undo/redo system can feel somewhat counterintuitive from my view.
4/4
The pro version's built-in animations and transitions might suffice for now, though I hope to see improvements in this area before too long. :)
Still weighing my options, but one thing's for sure: your plugin is a loving gem!
Cheers! Seb
Thanks for your detailed feedback. I did set up shallow integration with Breakdance a while back, meaning that CSS styles should sync across multiple browser tabs (if Breakdance is open in one tab and Microthemer in another). This is the same workflow as shown in the Divi video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewHWMBwGFT0
I understand that motion.page costs a lot more than many LTD's here on AppSumo.
Thanks for your analysis of the options. If there is a particular application you think handles this well, let me know, I will take some notes!
Thanks, I really enjoyed the hot integration with Breakdance, then after trying the full sandbox and the free version again, I finally gave in for the last Tier. So here I am, a new unlimited microthemer waiting to micro and maybe well macro control the world! 😅
Amazing, thanks so much for the purchase Seb!
Do let me know if you every need help with anything. World domination - whatever you happen to be working on :)
