Cache Me If You Can: The Power Pages Wishlist

In this episode, we deliver on their promise from the previous show — a wishlist of features they'd love to see in Power Pages (and none of them are AI). It's a mix of practical frustrations from real-world projects and some wild ideas for future innovation. What did we talk about?

George's standing desk automation project — powered by Python, Bluetooth, and (eventually) Power Platform. Imagine your desk going up automatically before every meeting! Top Power Pages wishlist items:

API to clear the cache — long-requested, simple sounding, yet still missing.

Modern Forms — it's time to modernize the end-user experience beyond Bootstrap upgrades.

Support for Quick View and Quick Create forms — why only Main forms?

Multi-step form improvements — allow skipping between steps, especially when there are no conditions.

Bring back Front-Side Editing — content editing without admin rights is a must for real CMS scenarios.

Power Automate integration in forms and lists — run flows like classic workflows directly from UI.

Framework agnostic design — let's dream big: support Tailwind, Foundation, or other CSS frameworks beyond Bootstrap.

What's next? How about a tour of Power Pages features that already exist — but almost nobody uses.
