Do you believe that I keep checking this forum almost every day just to see if I can see the reply from Louis? Just like waiting for miracles to appear.

@jornes I stopped checking over a month ago.
Over 2 months ago I had shot YouTube content to promote Cwicly but when I completed 75% of the editing, I paused. I needed reassurances that development would continue. I could sense there was another downfall festering. I wrote a long detailed message in the forum for those assurances but nothing came of it.
Thatās when I decided not to invest anymore of my effort into Cwicly. Not since their first shutdown have I considered it a volatile option for development. It has cost me considerable time and effort. There was a brief moment of hope that Cwicly might revive itself.
Personally I hope very much that Louis is not in some sort of bother. Such a talented man, and I can not begin to assume what is going on in his life.
@jornes do what is best for yourself and your business.

I started creating my website with it some time ago, but I stopped it due to such development. But the builder is truly amazing. Thatās why I keep testing it and hope to see it continue, but unfortunately it is not.
Sad to see such a good builder turned dead just like Zion Builder did.
True.
Sad.
Hope heās well. If Bali, heās finally making good money with rich startups, thatās my selfless wish.
If still interested in the project, my personal needs is the themer by itself as a templating engine handling blocks and Gutenberg editor insertions since Automattic seems to not get it and force people on static sites structures.
Take care everyone.
Hi all !
Itās been quite a while since Louis last appeared, and Iām still using Cwicly for my website projects, but I feel quite worried at the moment. Could any administrator or anyone help answer the following questions?
1 - Louis hasnāt appeared for a long time, and Iām concerned about his safety. Could it be that heās in danger?. Anyone who has contact with him, Please share here.
2 - In case Louis no longer continues developing Cwicly, would those of us currently using it, including myself, be able to find a platform to replace Cwicly? And would Cwicly still be usable even without Louis?
Thank you !

I too, keep using it on my website, and I too keep hoping Louis shows up or that someone else has the code, so that it wonāt be killed by wordpress updating. Has anyone looked into decompiling it?
Oh, and I hope Louis is OK! It seems odd that weāve heard not a peep from himā¦
You can do what you want - but it looks like business suicide to me if you keep using Cwicly. And youāre dragging your customers into the abyss with you.

I agree ā if I were an agency, Iād be committing business crimes to continue using cwicly on client pages. Iām not. Iām kinda lost for good ideas for an easy way to edit high quality pages in Wordpress, with reasonably full control, and still allowing for the easy writing of long form articles. I guess Iām hoping it gets open sourced.

Every now and then I come back to this post hoping to find greetings from Louis.
By now Iāve given up on the builder for quite some time butā¦ at the same time, I hope heās doing well and that, sooner or later, heāll at least come back to say hello to us.
At least I hope Louis is well and still alive (sounds strange but who knows?!)
Whatās so depressing about the situation again, is that every user of cwicly knows about the huge potential of this software. Louis achieved to make working with Gutenberg a joy. It felt like there were only a few steps missing to secure the development of Cwicly by making it open source and hand it over to the community.
Sad to know there is a Private Repository on GitHub just waiting for new contributors who are a switch away. 
I really hope Cwicly wonāt die that silentā¦

wish its that easy, we just need him to upload the source code to github or something, so we can all contribute and maintain

At first I often came and checked, if something changed. Now I rarely come, and then I probably already know that with Louis everything is fine.
From Cwicly as a tool, personally I find it difficult to expect stability, to my great regret 
Went to Webstudio (reference is brief, but all the functionality can be tried for free), itās not a widget, itās a separate designer with its pros and cons. But for me the pros are clear pricing, open source and clean code at the output. To the brix never could get used even with a LTD, other designers also hold on to developer enthusiasm and trust after the history with cwicly became more difficult.
For 2025 in the roadmap: Tailwind insertion (so who bought themselves under Cwicly dizzines on it will be able to use), Animations and interactions and Shopify Integration
By the way, on webstudio forum I see people who have seen in this forum. So if someone is looking for an alternative and willing to consider not wordpress builder pay attention.
Iām going to try Webstudio as well. @DenisKozeev, you should disclose that you used an affiliate link. There is nothing wrong with that of course but you should mention it.

What CMS are you going to use then?
And, if you got any opinion on this: if one wantās to set up a shop component integrated with a full website (I only did with woocommerce so far), whatās best with Webstudio then?
It seems you can still use WordPress as CMS with Webstudio. Will try this some time.
But for ecommerce I have no idea what to do.
I wrote in brackets, just wrong word, my English is not very good ))
To create a catalog I use baserow (or Airtable), for a full store if not wrong in the road map integration with shopify planned. Perhaps the discord will tell you more.
Itās surprising how everything led to the same placeāa dead product. The second chance given to this app turned out to be a waste. Whatās your take on Bricks? It seems like you need several expensive add-ons to make it a fully functional product. And what about Greenshift? Iāve been using Kadence, but Iām not satisfied with it. It feels like an odd hybrid between a classic theme and Gutenberg
