Beyond Aesthetics: What Makes UI Work
Before a single pixel is pushed or wireframe is mapped, there’s a phase that often gets skipped — or worse, rushed. It’s called discovery, and at Obliq, we’ve learned that this early-stage work shapes everything that follows.
We’re a digital design studio passionate about crafting impactful, user-focused experiences. From bold branding to seamless interfaces, we combine strategy, creativity, and technology to help modern brands connect, grow, and thrive in the digital world.
Skip it, and you'll likely end up designing in the dark. Embrace it, and you’ll move with clarity.
Reference Fields
To add Pagination, select your Collection List, click on Pagination, select one of the two options, then pick how many items to load. Pagination also works with existing Limits and Start Offsets. Both the Spinner and Button are completely customizable, and you can pick any Variant for their Loading states. The Spinner itself is just a layer with a conic gradient and a Loop Effect, so you get full control. Adding Pagination helps make your blogs and changelogs much faster to load, especially when they contain dozens of items.

Filtering
We've added the ability to filter your collection lists in the CMS. This allows you to keep your content in a single collection, yet customize how that collection is presented on each of your web pages. For example, if you're creating docs for your app, you might want to filter articles per topic on your homepage. Or when creating a blog, you might want to filter your blog posts per category.
