Hi PH,
Today we are releasing Blocks, our new data infused components for building Cosmic powered websites and apps.
What are Blocks?
Blocks are pre-built website components that you can drop into your project. Choose from landing pages, blogs, image galleries, product pages, and more. With Blocks you can build these features with Cosmic faster than ever.
Benefits of using Blocks
Blocks are built to give you a head start with features that are:
- Performance optimized
- Draft preview ready
- Mobile responsive
- Localization ready
- Dark mode ready
- Customizable
- Accessible
- Type safe
Why Blocks?
It's our goal to empower your team to create the best websites and apps. Blocks can be considered the missing head to connect with the Cosmic headless CMS. It is our opinionated component frontend for building highly scalable and performant web applications built with tools we think offer a development experience and performance advantage (React Server Components, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS).
Getting started
To get started, go to the Blocks website or install the Blocks extension in the Cosmic dashboard to begin using Blocks.

Haven’t had a chance to dig into this yet but just a bit of feedback—from scanning through the product photos I can’t really get a sense of what this is. The description seemed promising but the photos are so vague that I have no reason to double click.
Hello. Congratulations on the launch.
Can you explain how the interaction with external data sources is implemented - for example, is it possible to load weather forecasts through your platform? Is it done through blocks, or is manual intervention required?
@tonyspiro Congrats on the launch! Have a question,
How did you determine the specific types of pre-built website components (Blocks) to include in your product, and can you elaborate on the customization options available for users to tailor these components to their unique project requirements, ensuring a seamless integration into their websites?
The operation went smoothly, which is great, and it would be even better if AI could be used to simplify the process! Good luck!
I've never heard of Cosmic before today but I always love seeing new component libraries. Wishing you the best of luck on this launch, as it seems like it's targeted specifically toward Cosmic users only.

Who hunted Blocks by Cosmic?
Blocks by Cosmic was hunted by Tony Spiro. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
