I didn't realise there was a limit of 200 assets per project until I hit the limit.
If I was working on a client project and had a legitimate need for over 200 assets, I would've been in a real pickle. I probably would've already spent days building the site in Webstudio at this point, only to find out I would have to start again on a different platform.
I would suggest showing the user how close they are to this limit, and any other per-project limits, in the Project Settings panel, so they don't get caught off-guard.
it was done basically to avoid someone misusing the service as a storage or spam ,I am sure its not the case for you, so I am super curious to see your project
My site uses 175 image assets, and that's after going through and removing all the duplicates where I uploaded an asset, tweaked something about it after I saw it on the page, and then reuploaded a new version of it.
You're more than welcome to take a look at the project - its staging domain is portfolio-266c3
My design case studies have lots of screenshots and graphics in them, and I've got 4 full case studies on the site. I'm likely to 200 hit the limit for real if/when I add another case study in the future.
The testimonial profile images and small icons also make a fairly big chunk of the assets too
This is true, I agree. In Webflow I opted not to use a CMS because a) the price was too high for my limited use case (I would only need 1 collection, and that would be for the case studies) b) I liked being able to customise each case study's page template to fit the kind of work I did. Having static pages made it much easier to manage the layout changes between case studies.
My new style of case study is much simpler and would be more suitable to a CMS-driven template though, so I think that would have been an option for my new site
