BLOCS TEMPLATES, the best website to get premium templates for the Blocs app, was launched on June 28, 2016.
BLOCS MASTER, the best website to learn web design with the Blocs app, was officially launched on June 28, 2017.
BLOCS LIBRARY is my latest and greatest project for the Blocs app, and I am thrilled to announce that today, on June 28, 2023, the Minimalist Library for the Blocs app is finally coming out of beta!
There is a lot to unpack, but I will try to keep it concise.
Minimalist Library 1.3 BETA is Available
Introducing the official public release of the Minimalist Library for Blocs 5! It has successfully transitioned out of beta, and I'm thrilled to announce that it will continue to receive exciting monthly updates moving forward.
To run the Minimalist Library, you will need Blocs 5.1, which is currently in beta but expected to be officially released soon.
The latest 1.3 version of the library focuses on bug fixes and significant improvements behind the scenes.
Release Notes:
- Free version release
- Added preview pages for all individual sections
- Added the new Guide page
- Added the new Updates page
- Applied Bootstrap Dark and Light themes to all sections
- Fixed issues with button active and focus states
- Optimized custom classes
- Improved mobile optimization of many sections
New Preview Pages for All Sections
Now you can preview the sections available in the Minimalist Library. I have included only the Light-themed versions of the sections since the Unstyled and Dark variations share the same structure and differ only in terms of style.
This preview setup will enable me to showcase the new sections effortlessly, as I will continue to add more beautiful and even complex designs starting with the upcoming 1.4 version of the library in July.
Free Version of the Minimalist Library
I'm happy to announce the availability of a limited version of the Minimalist Library for Blocs 5, which anyone can try out completely free of charge. This version includes 36 meticulously designed and fully responsive sections.
I strongly believe that the Blocs Library represents the future of web design workflows with Blocs, and I'm excited to enable as many users as possible to experience the efficiency of using the Minimalist Library to create websites in a matter of hours! (or even minutes 🤯)

New Guide Page
Alongside the comprehensive video overview and tutorial, I have compiled written guidelines detailing the installation, updating, uninstallation, and usage of the Minimalist Library for Blocs 5. All this information is now located on the new User Guide page.
Furthermore, once the official public version of Blocs 5.1 is released, I will include additional short-form video tutorials and a wide range of informative video tutorials that explore various workflows utilizing the Minimalist Library.
New Updates Page
During the beta period, I maintained private release notes. However, I am pleased to announce that you can now track the development of the Minimalist Library through the new Updates page on the Blocs Library website.
As mentioned earlier, in addition to this page, I will also include screenshots of the newly added designs on the Sections page.
On a personal note…
As mentioned earlier, today holds a special significance for my Blocs projects as it marks the anniversary of two of the most significant endeavors in my life. I want to seize this moment to express my deep gratitude to the supporters of my work.
While I have had the privilege of connecting with many of you through email or iMessage, I am aware that there are those among you who quietly read my emails and continue to utilize my products without any direct communication.
Allow me to extend my heartfelt thanks to you. Your support means the world to me.
Hi Eldar, great stuff!
I would like to suggest a better way to update the Minimalist Library. For me could be more intuitive.
For instance, I couldn't find the way to update last version you mention.
Could you help on this?
Thanks in advance.
