Pier #141 – Product Reviews for SureCart, Builderius Sense, Blockstudio 7 & Oxygen 6 Now Available

Ahoi.dev

Welcome to the 141st issue of The Pier. Swipe Pages can now be loaded directly through WordPress. No subdomains are required. Pages can be routed to your root domain without any DNS changes. This means that if you run your main site on WordPress and want your landing pages on the same domain, it is now possible.

Launch: Oxygen 6 is now live! Don’t miss out on the special offer.

Early Access: Supademo will soon launch RouteHub, which helps you to automatically deliver the right product demos, resources and next steps to each viewer using AI.

Exciting: BlockStudio 7 is now available as fully open-source and free. This major update of the Block framework for WordPress introduces file-based pages that sync with native WordPress block content, as well as a Tailwind CSS integration with server-side compilation and caching. Blockstudio Plus is the commercial offering, providing site templates, over 1,000 drop-in blocks and AI instructions.

Don’t miss out: Built directly into the Builderius workflow, Builderius Sense is a new, context-aware AI powered by Claude via MCP (BYOK). It can clone pages from a URL, work with dynamic data and carry out precise edits. Purchase the LTD before 15 March, when Builderius will be taken off sale until it is stable. It will then return with a new pricing structure.

Launch: Derek from Conversion Bridge has announced a new product line called Appshine! The first Mac app in the line-up, ButtUp, is almost ready for beta testing!

Nice: Services for SureCart is already integrated with SureCart‘s new Product Reviews feature. After the final delivery has been sent, a prompt to leave a review will appear. This review will apply to the product associated with the service.

Finally: Divi 5 is out of beta!
