It’s that time of year again, folks — hot chocolate in hand, cozy blankets all around, and the perfect time to reflect on another year’s highs and lows!
For Droip, it’s been a year of firsts: exciting breakthroughs, bold new ideas, and countless moments of growth that we can’t wait to celebrate with you.
So hop on to the Droip time machine, and sit tight as we journey through the highlights of 2024!
Exciting New Additions to Droip
Since its launch last year, 2024 has brought some exciting new additions to Droip — expanding the boundaries of what’s possible with just a single tool in WordPress!
So without further ado, let us dive into the powerful new features that further elevate no-code website building.
Native Dynamic Content Manager
Starting big, let’s first talk about the native Dynamic Content Manager that was introduced a few months ago.
This latest addition marked a significant leap towards making Droip a true all-in-one solution for website creation!
With Droip’s Content Manager, users were empowered to create dynamic websites for any purpose from dynamic online portfolios to recipe blogs and more by crafting data collections tailored to their exact needs and dynamically displaying them using lists and templates.
Alongside the Content Manager, we also added Dynamic SEO, allowing users to define SEO meta details dynamically using field tags. This ensures unique SEO across all website pages in one go.
Later, we also introduced WordPress Post Filtering and Dynamic User Lists.
WordPress Post Filtering gave the ability to create filterable listing pages for post-type entities on WordPress, while Dynamic User Lists, as the name suggests, enabled users to dynamically display WordPress users as lists — further simplifying and accelerating the creation of dynamic websites.
Instant Figma to Droip Handoff
Speaking of accelerating website creation, earlier in the year we also launched our very own Figma to Droip tool!
When it comes to speed, this addition was a total game-changer, empowering users to instantly go from design to development in one click.
No more translating Figma designs to lines and lines of code — with Figma to Droip, you’re able to convert your website prototype into the real thing with pixel-perfect accuracy and auto-responsiveness in next to no time!
Overall Enhancements
During these months, we also introduced several improvements to existing features, enhancing functionality and delivering a smoother, more efficient user experience.
Notable updates included a 50% boost in Droip’s performance and several quality-of-life enhancements, such as:
- A new Droip dashboard for easier access to the editor
- Font previews displayed directly in the font selector dropdowns
- Improved inline toolbar positioning for more convenient access
- …and more!
We also expanded the Audit tool to detect a wider range of inconsistencies, including missing form labels, SEO data, and more, ensuring your websites remain polished and optimized.
Additions to the Droip Website
With the additions and improvements to Droip, the Droip website saw its own share of updates, including brand new landing pages for Figma to Droip and Content Manager as well as enhancements to the UI and content for a more seamless browsing experience!
