AI 'standard' blocks

@GuillaumeDuv, adjusting button layouts is not addressing this problem. I agree with the sentiment in this thread that AI should improve on the core configuration of app building in Softr, not replace it. In our experience as long term no-coders, we noticed Softr’s configuration and styling features were great until last year. Softr had a good balance between configuration and custom coding options, but a significant amount of manual styling options was deprecated early last year and this years abrupt switch to AI/Vibe coding is causing too much friction for users to build custom apps efficiently and with enough control.

Unfortunately many of Softr’s interface changes discard configuration options that were useful. A good example is the styling of navigation links which were fairly robust, but are now very minimal compared to legacy styling. Softr’s go to suggestion for these kinds of scenarios is to “use vibe coding blocks”, which count against our AI credits.

Softr should strike a better balance between its manual customization options and the variable cost of its new AI features. Just because features are new, shiny, and trendy does not make them more useful, let alone cost effective for users.
