I am deeply impressed by your work and want to give you a general feedback.
I bought only the plugin although this is limited; especially because it only offers cookie-based continuous playback, which is not elegant.
I do understand that you invested a huge amount work to get this to this stage, and that you need a broad user-base to repay your investment. And I do realise that Elementor has a large user-base. So I do not mean to criticise your work and your code decisions.
However, I cannot buy your themes because I feel that Elementor and Essential Grid are a bad corner to be in as a website owner, and also as a plugin developer. Essential Grid was already bad code 5 years ago - I was surprised to see it have a comeback here - and they have one of the worst supports ever. Elementor seems fine at face value, but if I want to truly control every element of my page, I have to buy not only the Pro version but also their Template builder.
My hope is that you'll find the time and user-base to create the same functionality in a theme that can be used either without a builder, or with a better builder.
Or even better, that you can create a far more complex plugin. I can see a very tight integration with ACF, Woo, and Oxygen builder as a possible route to go.
Sorry how this sounds, but this really it is not a rant!
I think perhaps you might be missing something with Elementor and its dynamic features and templating system. (pro version of course). I recommend you read how powerful it can be with elementor, dynamic.ooo etc..

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback.
I think perhaps you might be missing something with Elementor and its dynamic features and templating system. (pro version of course). I recommend you read how powerful it can be with elementor, dynamic.ooo etc..
Anyway, I'm not here to sell elementor.
I'll pass your feedback to our dev team.
Have a great day
Thanks,
Max from the Sonaar.io Crew
