β β Do you use GitHub? As the industry-standard platform for code management, it allows you to save snapshots of your code or even automate code deployments to external systems. This week, we quietly rolled out a new GitHub integration, now available to all our paid users! With this feature, you can seamlessly manage code and enhance your workflows directly within our platform. Watch the video to learn how to set up GitHub in Slater. βh/t Jason Roach & Pierre Lovenfosseβ βJoin our Slack if you want to help guide Slater's roadmapβ β β Javascript 101: Using an APIOne of the best things about the web is its ability to connect with other websites.

You can update the html to customize how the temperature is displayed. Want to see the code on a site? Scroll to the bottom of https://boldo.webflow.io. To recap, we have two functions that do the following:

Earlier this year, we built figdam.com. It is currently used by several of our clients to host files and watermark PDFs. Weβd like to bring this file hosting functionality to Slater users.
