Changelog

Improved editor

While Pagy’s initial, Notion-like interface of building pages primarily as text documents (with controls showing up on the side of elements when hovering them) worked well with simple layouts, it became confusing when dealing with more complex layouts with deeply nested elements.

For that reason I’ve updated the editor interface to work more similarly to other traditional website builders and design tools, where you first click to select an element and then click again if you wish to edit its content. The element’s settings now appear immediately after selecting them and you can also drag elements by clicking directly on them (without having to look for small controls on their side to do so as before).

The editor still maintains the underlaying text editor-like architecture so, unlike other tools, once you go into text editing mode you can keep writing and adding more elements just by typing as you previously did.

Forms

Now you can create forms in Pagy! Just select Form from the blocks menu to start with one of the templates and then customize them to your liking.

Here’s everything you can do now:

• Create contact forms, signup forms, or any form you want by freely customizing their fields and content.

• Create multiple, independent forms for different purposes on the same site (unlike the previous signup form which was global to the site).

• Receive email notifications when new submissions come in.

• For contact forms, you can set the notification email’s “reply to” to be the submission’s email field’s value so you can just hit reply to answer the people who contact you.

• Reuse your forms across multiple pages of the site. Edit in one place and see the changes reflected everywhere.

• View all your form submissions right within Pagy and download them as a CSV.

• Integrate with external services and send submissions directly to them, starting with Loops (if there’s any other you’d like to see let me know!).

On an unrelated update, now you can also preview your changes live before publishing a page, and use it to share your drafts with other people.

Sharing templates

Now you can share any site you create on Pagy as a template for other people to use.

Each site gets a unique and random template link, which means you can effectively use this to create and sell your own templates. Find it on your site settings, under Sharing.

Collaborators

Now you can have multiple people collaborating on the same site! Find the invite link under the new Team section on your site settings and share with it anyone you’d like to invite to collaborate on the site.

Accordions

You can now add an accordion block to your pages, ideal for FAQs and similar content. It looks like this:

Also updated the section templates, adding some new FAQ templates using the accordion block, and added a new “Call to action” category of templates.

Improved section padding control

September 18, 2023

Improved margin control and highlighting

Among plenty of tweaks and optimizations, now you can visualize and change the margin between blocks directly within the editor. Just hover a block and manipulate it directly.

Block highlighting has also been improved. Now all blocks (including text and headings) are highlighted when hovered so it’s easier to visualize where each one begins and ends.
