First of all: Thank you for the improvements in RSD v2 and I appreciate the step to use Foundation and Bootstrap frameworks inside. But hey, I am new in these apps, I am starting from zero. I really like, what I see there. I can write HTML and CSS(3) etc. but these tools are real timesaver!

There is a bunch of new features in RSD v.2: https://rsd-v2.coffeecup.com/. Do you have tutorials or videos for them?
Especially the Typography example (Demo 5), the navigation menu (Demo 6), image gallery (Demo 7) make me wondering how I could achieve this.

Then the components, shown on this page, are orange and I can't find exactly these components in foundation or bootstrap themes/templates of RSD v.2. Where are they? I have components but not these.

I would say these features are really keeping up with current standards of css and html, and are an expansion of areas that were already in RSD. Are you already familiar with RSD 1.5?

The typography section is just a little expansion of what was already available. The square is a container or a column. It is given a background. That background is a linear gradient composing of 4 colors. The first two color points are at 0% and 50%. The 3rd and 4th color points are at 50% and 100% The colors for the first two points are similar to each other, but are much different to the 3rd and 4th color (which are similar to each other as well). The two sets of similar colors meet in the middle and look like its two different objects or an image - when its just a fancy tricky linear gradient. The gradient is set at a 45 angle. The text in put in the column and given an effect of 45 degree angle and padding is adjusted to center it. It is given a blend mode, I think a "difference" blend mode. Then, the hover state is selected, the text is changed to white and transition timings are giving to it.

The nav menu is tricky - might take a bit to replicate it, and the other demo is using some data toggling, and sliding in and sliding out images. Its not something special made for RSD2 but is a part of the framework which I think is Foundation for this page. Its not something I have really got hardcore into, because I am waiting for Bootstrap 4 to become official before I decide to really go with Foundation or Bootstrap.

Those components are not in the application. They are examples of what you can make. I hope CC does include a set of components a little more expansive that the standard components that come with Foundation and Bootstrap frameworks.
CC is supposedly working on a way for users to officially share their components they create. Once that gets rolling, I am sure all the users will have access to lots of creations.

I asked for the new features in RSD v.2 and tutorials for them. Only some more difficult CSS is no new feature (typography).

Those components are not in the application. They are examples of what you can make.

Thanks :)

Hello

I am on build 1.5. How do you get V2? Do I have to buy it again?

I am also wondering where the new features are in V2.
I don't see anything different than the original version.
Where is the Navigation Menu as advertised in Demo 6?
Where is anything new?

I have no "Components". It says that Components is now deprecated.

You can view all the new features here at http://sneak-preview.coffeecup.com/

Coffeegrinder does not come with any pre-built components as that framework has been deprecated.

However Foundation and Bootstrap do have many of them. Start a new project based on Foundation or Bootstrap and you will find the components to choose from.
