⚠️ Please note, the below updates required a major overhaul to our app's infrastructure. Our number 1 priority was to ensure none of our users' configurations were affected. But as of April 30th, our Outseta integration and upvoting for community posts and CMS items is temporarily offline. We are priotizing fixing this within the next 24 hours. If you notice anything else off, please let us know at hello@supersparks.io. ⚠️

The start to our 2024 has been incredible! We've seen multiple WordPress sites with thousands of comments, discussions, and reviews move to our platform, plus some of the most beautifully designed online communities ever created using Supersparks and Webflow. The Webflow community continues to amaze us!

For the past month and a half, we've been focused on making major upgrades to our app's ease-of-use and infrastructure. While these might not be the flashiest features, they address important needs and will enable us to build new features faster as we continue developing the ultimate community platform for Webflow.

1) Universal Script

As Supersparks has evolved into a comprehensive community platform, we recognized the need for functionality across every page of your site, especially for upcoming features like on-site notifications and topic following.

To simplify installation, we've created a universal script that works across your entire site, eliminating the need to paste different script variations on different pages.

⚠️ If you've already configured our app with page-level scripts, we recommend keeping them. You can safely add the site-wide script alongside existing scripts to access new features like upvoting without any conflicts. ⚠️

2) Attributes

Designers rejoice! All of our components now support attributes instead of mandatory classes, making it much easier to redesign components without class conflicts.

Converting is simple: transform a class like "supersparks-comment-card-123fd" into an attribute: supersparks-comment-card="123fd" as shown below:

⚠️ Your existing classes will continue working perfectly. This update simply gives you more design flexibility. ⚠️

3) CMS Item Upvoting

We've expanded our upvoting functionality beyond discussions into a standalone feature that works with any CMS item. This isn't just about likes—it's the foundation for several exciting features coming in the next few months:

• Topic Following - Get notifications when new content is added to topics you follow
• Favorites & Bookmarks - Let users create personal collections
• User Following - Build creator-focused communities
• Progress Tracking - Enable "mark as complete" for courses and guided content

We're excited about these updates and what they mean for your Webflow communities. As always, we're committed to combining powerful community features with the design flexibility you expect.
