Hi there,

Welcome to the 60th issue of The Pier. Brickscore, a popular add-on with beautiful elements and smart features for Bricks Builder, has been rebranded as Next Bricks. For a limited time, they are still offering a lifetime deal for unlimited sites.

David from the Core Framework has released Blocks, the long awaited official wireframing kit made exclusively for Bricks. It has been created using BEM, A11Y (Accessibility) and over 300 components. A Figma version will be available soon.

We would also like to welcome uiXpress to The Port.

Here is a selection of the latest and greatest blog posts we published this week on Ahoi.dev. You will also find some interesting industry news, the latest directory listings on The Port, job openings, and deals. Enjoy!
