The much improved accessibility of the new Site Navigation element is just what I needed to start using my Oxygen licence. I hope that you will keep accessibility in mind with all your future updates 🙏
I wish there was a super easy way to add a search function... perhaps like the one style where you click the magnify glass and a new row opens up beneath it with a search field etc.
Excellent, thank you for continuing to improve Oxygen!
Thank you! I have been waiting for this since Oxygen v2 … well done!
Crushing! I'm coming back. The speed of opening the editor was never the issue. For me, it was the damn menu system(s). This looks brilliant. The perfect ballance. Well done, Elijah.
Thank you so much for the new integration, it looks well done, and I was looking for something like this where there is less CSS tweaking and more behavior functionality. Thanks for your continued support of the remarkable Oxygen builder
The header builder should have the function to hide on scroll down and reveal the header on scroll up.
This feature should be easy to implement
Nice. What about a way to add icons to individual menu items? Oo
Great improvement. Thanks Elijah!
Well done Oxygen team ! Very valuable update !
Well done guys! :)
Great Update! you guys Rock!
Really nice update Oxygen team. Thank you
Oxygen seems to be more alive thn before Breakdance thats nice to see!
Amazing
Is it possible to add transitions when hovering over menu elements? So when hovering over Home to About there is a transition of 0.4.
Thanks for the updates Oxygen team!
This is pretty cool, although I think there are things the oxygen team should prioritize more like native built-in form editor which is more necessary.
How to make mega menu?
please make an oxygen for export html ONLY not wordpress dependent. I'm a mobile app developer. I hate bad code. wordpress base = worst thing ever done. you have a great product (I bought it) but I'm moving to only html to do my friends websites (and some potential clients). searching for a good solution but till now zero compared to oxygen in the way it works. Have a nice year :)
Oxygen is a WordPress Builder. If you're developing mobile apps, WordPress and Oxygen are probably not the right platforms/tools for you.
@@matthias5421 I know Oxygen is a WordPress Builder. Software evolve. If not you had Android 1.0 and IOS 1.0 (I remember seeing appstore with 500 apps max). Nicepage for example, works in Wordpress also and have html export ONLY. Mobile apps I done them in Native code. I done webpages even before CSS was invented....Netspace 2.0 browser was a hugeeee step :) don't have time or patience to learn more "languages" that I know. html/css is level 0 learning but it takes lots of time to done it right. Wordpress is for people that don't have a clue what code is about and they don't care about it. I care. To me reading code is like reading a book. I like when code is well writen and I admire good programmers. I tried wordpress...because clients want always to control things that they never will use....
@@matthias5421 right now I'm learning Python to make backoffces from scratch. but If there are easy ways than that to make a clean code, I will go for it.
Only HTML takes 5+ times the work and you will need to bill for that.
You'll find that as a consultant, if you either charge 5x the money or work for nothing..
It is like showing up with a shovel when your client expected you to come with a bulldozer..
I have been writing HTML/CSS/PHP/JS/SQL since the 90's and my work efficiency and skill is great at this point. Using wordpress and a builder is not about skill, it's about speed of production.
And oxygen is your best bet if you are a developer because it gives you the power to add raw code in situations where the builder cannot easily do what you're trying to achieve.
Also if you make 0 effort to optimize an oxygen website you can expect an 'A' or 'B' grade score in most speed tests. With some effort ( installing w3 total cache, etc ), the website will be pretty fast even on a slow CPU. No need to go to HTML.
@@neptronix well, there are software that writes html/css/javascript for you. So that 5x more time is true if that software didn't exist. I'm using one. Python,php, etc. have lots of frameworks that do the heavy work for you also. i've a library done by me with more than 10000 lines of code reusable to make mobile apps faster. Oxygen have a good approach to develop a webpage. The only problem is wordpress really. Even if you use those plugins to make you website faster they will be way bigger than they should. The websites that I make have all 100 score in pageinsight. I only use oxygen when I need a page to insert content by the client. Thats why Im learning python. To abandon oxygen for good. Still a great program, but not for me anymore.
This menu element is useless for me. Why? Because the menu is created with JS and quite large one, 40KB uncompressed. First problem is that it might create problem generating CSS critical path. And second is negative impact on loading speed. Why are you using so much JS for this? I'm sure it can be done more on server side in PHP and small things adjusted with JS.
For the best accessibility, JavaScript is 100% necessary. We used Alpine JS because it's light weight and has great built-in support for ARIA attributes, among other features that made this menu element much easier to build.
The reality of this extra JS is actually about 20kb assuming you're using GZIP compression... and if you're not, you have bigger problems than the JS loaded by the Site Navigation element.
If this does actually create a problem for you somehow, please email support@oxygenbuilder.com and we'll be glad to help.
