通过https://discourse.theme-creator.io/ 开发主题已经不适用了吗？我按照设计师入门指南：在Discourse中使用主题 - 文档 / 开发者指南 - Discourse Meta的步骤进行，一切顺利，但是在本地更新了代码后，命令行提示已同步。但是在My Themes - singi2016cn - Theme Creator无法看到最新的代码，而且在My Themes - singi2016cn - Theme Creator上配置也不生效。 [image]

I assume you are using an API key to connect with the theme CLI? Theme Creator does have bugs, so I’d recommend using a development environment, or using a GitHub repository with Theme Creator.

使用的是这个密钥，然后在本地开发。运行了discourse_theme watch quectel，但是看不到页面实时更新。 [image]

Yeah as Nate said: we’re aware it’s quite buggy atm. Is there anything in the console that can give an indication? And is it an option to simply develop locally instead?

感谢回复。是的，目前我只能选择本地开发了。是否应该教程上更新一下，提示说尽量使用本地环境开发。不然，很容易让新人再次陷入这样的困境，浪费时间。

Theme creator is definitely still supported, so please do report any critical issues. From your screenshot. It looks like your theme was created successfully. Did you use the “Preview” button to see the theme in action?

是的，使用了预览。然后我在本地修改代码，已运行discourse_theme watch quectel 但是在https://discourse.theme-creator.io/看不到效果。即使命令行中已显示已同步成功。另一个问题是https://discourse.theme-creator.io/上面的主题配置编辑之后无法保存。刷新页面后，又被重置了。

Is developing themes via https://discourse.theme-creator.io no longer viable?
