Perch Runway solves a classic problem many other systems face. Traditionally, there’s a couple of ways different CMSs handle managing content for pages. Let’s take a look at how those work in Perch Runway.
The presence of two different-yet-the-same products can sometimes raise the question of which you should be using and when. If building a new project, should you choose Perch or Perch Runway? Let’s take a look.
We want to help you own your own content at Perch, and we’ve added Webmention support as another way to help you do that. This post explains the feature.
The XML-based feed formats RSS and Atom have been established for years. RSS was a bet on the back of XML becoming the standard format for content interchange across the web.

Today’s update of Perch Runway includes some under-the-hood changes to the way we communicate with the Dropbox API. These changes are significant for anyone who uses Dropbox with Runway and wishes to keep doing so beyond June 2017.

Runway 3 added support for importing content into Collections and today we’re building on that by opening up those import mechanisms to be used by Runway add-ons too.

When working on client projects, the most common workflow is to develop the site locally, and then deploy it to some sort of private staging server for the client to review. While that work is in progress, it’s important to allow all stakeholders to have easy access to it, but you don’t want to make it public. Site Behind Login is a great feature in Runway to enable you to do just that.
Today we launched both Perch and Perch Runway 3 - both a significant step forward for the platform, and a good solid foundation for the next generation of changes to come.
