We know the best way to make the web a better place is to make web-building tools transparent, accessible, and available to everyone. That’s why Web Awesome is and always will be open source.

We’re doubling down on that commitment today with two big changes.

Public Cdn – No Signup Required

All of Web Awesome is now available on our public CDN. Just copy, paste, and get building — no signup or email address required.

For Web Awesome account holders, you’ll also see a new CDN tab for each of your projects. Your CDN project code lists out all of the stylesheets you need to implement your project’s theme and features (like native styles and CSS utilities) in addition to the Web Awesome autoloader for components, plus additional guidance for what classes or attributes you might need on your page.

The new CDN tab has everything you need to make something awesome with the public CDN

(We have work ahead of us to compile themes for each project so that collection of stylesheets is just a single line. Stay tuned for those improvements.)

We’ve added similar instructions for npm and self-hosted methods, too. Now, it’s easier to implement your preferred version, features, FA kit, and custom theme, regardless of your installation method. Sweet, right?

So, while you don’t need an account to use Web Awesome, you can still grab one for tailored installation instructions or Pro features like working with teams, patterns, the theme builder,  Figma design kit, and Pro components. And, speaking of Pro components…

<wa-page> for Everyone

<wa-page> no longer requires a Pro subscription. We’ve moved the popular component from Web Awesome Pro to Web Awesome core to bring painless layout scaffolding to everyone.

Yep, even you 🫵, dear reader. Cheers!

<wa-page>: slots for every common page section and responsiveness baked in, all for free

“But that’s not enough,” you say?

You want more!

We have a ton of extra goodies in WA 3.5, including about a million fixes and improvements (not really, but it is a lot), plus a brand-spanking-new <wa-markdown> component to transform your easy-breezy markdown syntax into plain ol’ HTML.

Head over to our changelog for all of the details.

Happy building, folks!
