About Hotfix
Hotfix is a free, brutalist Framer template for a SaaS changelog, docs and public roadmap. A calm warm-paper palette with one signal orange accent and ink black type, massive condensed headlines and a monospace terminal layer for versions, [TAGS] and commit ids. No gradients, soft shadows or rounded cards. The demo follows Cinder, a made-up build pipeline product.
What you get
- Signature interaction: each release row floods with the orange accent on hover, focus or tap. A ticker of the latest versions runs under the hero.
- Home: latest release line, giant hero with an animated terminal, release rows, roadmap snapshot, docs entry points and a subscribe strip.
- Changelog: 8 CMS releases, a command line tag filter (New, Improved, Fixed) with counts, and a page per release.
- Docs: 9 CMS articles in 3 sections, sidebar, table of contents with scroll spy, code blocks.
- Command bar search: Cmd+K or Ctrl+K, or tap search, across pages, docs, releases and roadmap. Keyboard and touch work.
- Roadmap: Now, Next and Later columns (orange, mist and ink) from the CMS with an upvote on each card.
- Status page with 90 day uptime bars, feature request form, subscribe page, 404, SEO fields and favicon.
- Responsive at 1440, 1024, 810 and 390. Three CMS collections (Releases, Docs, Roadmap); a Tone field picks how each release row floods (orange or ink).
Good to know
- Votes are saved in each visitor's browser only (local storage): a personal bookmark, not a shared count.
- Search covers page names plus titles, summaries and version or section labels of CMS items, not article text.
- Forms are native Framer forms and go to your Framer inbox. Nothing is sent to a newsletter tool until you connect one.
- Cinder, releases, status data, numbers and terminal output are invented.
- Partner links are labelled and open in a new tab: beehiiv, Fillout, Chatbase and Framer. If you sign up through them the author may earn a commission at no cost to you.
