They say time flies when you’re having fun, and this week has been exactly that - fun. More and more people are getting hands-on, and beginning to share sites built on Wix Studio. (It’s only been 10 days! You’re all incredible.)
I can’t believe it’s been a week since our last Community Weekly Roundup, but here we are with Edition 2. I’ve been thinking it’s the sort of name that deserves its own little jingle
Anyway, before I get carried away let’s dive into exactly why you’re here - it’s Roundup time! Here’s what you need to know.
Highlights (TL;DR)
- Wix Studio rollout - it’s well underway, and it’s awesome seeing everyone sharing and learning together.
- Wix Studio Academy - this week, we began our series of daily webinars, covering everything you need to know about Wix Studio, best practices, and more. If you missed any from this week, you can rewatch them all here. And to RSVP for upcoming webinars head on over here.
- In-person events - we’re about to kickstart an incredible 7 weeks of events across the world, visiting 12 different cities.
From the Community
As I began writing this week’s roundup, I saw a notification in the top right of the forum, next to my profile picture. I’d been tagged in a topic by @loeiks with the notification simply reading “Here it is: Connect Google Cloud Firestore to Wix (External DB Collection)”.
I clicked on it and well, all I can say is I was very impressed. If you’re a developer, go take a read over the incredible tutorial @loeiks put together explaining how to Connect Google Cloud Firestore to Wix. (But only once you’ve finished here )
We’re going for 2 community spotlights today, so here’s the second.
Earlier this week, @clsnlsen launched Jessica, an AI Speech Therapist on Product Hunt. Available 24/7 and armed with AI, LLMs and speech recognition, this is a huge testament to what’s possible with Wix. I can’t wait to see where you take this one @clsnlsen.
Wix Studio News
On Monday, August 7th, we began our series of daily webinars, covering all the essentials you need to know about Wix Studio, best practices, and more. If you missed any of them, don’t fear, they’re all being recorded for you to watch on demand. And if you haven’t RSVPed to any of the upcoming ones, now is the time to do so.
Our Wix Studio Discord is growing nicely and is the perfect space to connect with others in your local geo. If you’re attending any of the upcoming in-person Studio events, I’d recommend hopping over to see who else is attending your location.
And while you’re making connections at these events, it’s worth joining one of the local communities we’re launching to help the community connect in person and continue building those relationships. Take a look at some of the local communities being launched over on Meetup.com
In other news
It’s time for a beta!
We all love a beta, right? Well, wow, I have a big one for you. I’ve already seen some chatter around it, but here we go… Responsive AI in Wix Studio.
Responsive AI is a patented new tool that does the responsive work for you - with just the click of a button.
Simply use it to apply the correct responsive structure or adjust the mobile breakpoint of any section, so you can design freely and quickly, without needing to think about responsive logic.
Visit the Beta category of the forum to keep up to date with the latest Beta discussions. And to share all your thoughts and insights about Responsive AI, the Responsive AI subcategory is for you. I’d love to hear how you’ve been using it, what you’ve learned, and your visions for future abilities.
