I don’t know how it is for other designers, but when I start a new project, there’s always this moment where I just sit there and stare. Nothing. No idea. Empty.

People often think that “creativity” is some kind of magic that suddenly comes out of nowhere, like a lightning strike from the sky. But I can tell you that’s not how it works — at least not for me. I’ve learned how to “hack” my creativity. It’s no longer random but more like a process. And one part of that process led me to create what we now call the “Hero Section.”

The Birth Of The Hero Section

If I’m being honest, I don’t even know exactly how I came up with the name “Hero.” It felt more like an epiphany than a conscious decision. At the time, I was working on the Brooklyn theme, and Bootstrap was gaining popularity. I wasn’t a huge fan of Bootstrap, not because it’s bad, but because I found it more complicated to work with than writing my own CSS. Ninety-five percent of the CSS and HTML in Brooklyn is custom-written, devoid of any framework.

But there was one part of Bootstrap that stuck with me: the Jumbotron class. The name felt a bit odd, but I understood its purpose — to create something big and attention-grabbing. That stuck in my mind, and like lightning, the word “Hero” came to me.

Why Hero? A hero is a figure that demands attention. It’s bold, strong, and memorable, which is everything I wanted Brooklyn’s intro section to be. At first, I envisioned a “Hero Button.” Still, I realized the concept could be much broader: it could encompass the entire intro section, setting the tone for the website and drawing the visitor’s focus to the most important message.

The term “Banner” was another option, but it felt generic and uninspired. A Hero, on the other hand, is a force to reckon with. So, I committed to the idea.

From Banner To Hero Section

Back in 2013, most websites called their intro sections a “Banner” or “Header.” At best, you’d see a single image with a title, maybe a subtitle, and a button. Sliders were also popular, cycling through multiple banners with different content. But I wanted Brooklyn’s intro to be more than just a banner — it had to make a lasting impression.

So, I redefined it:

HTML Structure
I named the section <section class=”hero”>. This wasn’t just a banner or a slider; it was a Hero Section.
CSS Customization
Everything within the section followed the Hero concept: .hero-slogan, .hero-title, .hero-description, .hero-btn. I coded it all from scratch, making sure it had a cohesive and distinct identity.
Marketing Language
I didn’t stop at the code. I used the word “Hero” everywhere, including Brooklyn’s documentation, the theme description, the landing page, and the featured images.

At the time, Brooklyn was attracting tens of thousands of visitors per day on ThemeForest, which is the storefront I use to make the theme available for sale. It quickly became a top seller, selling like hotcakes. Naturally, people started asking, “What’s a Hero Section?” It was a new term, and I loved explaining the concept.

The Hero Section had become sort of like a hook that made Brooklyn more alluring, and we sold a lot of copies of the theme because of it.

What I Didn’t Know About The Hero’s Future

At the time, I intentionally used the term “Hero” in Brooklyn’s code and marketing because I wanted it to stand out. I made sure it was everywhere: in the <section> tags, in class names like .hero-title and .hero-description, and on Brooklyn’s landing page and product description.

But honestly, I didn’t realize just how big the term would become. I wasn’t thinking about carving it into stone or reserving it as something unique to Brooklyn. That kind of forward-thinking wasn’t on my radar back then. All I wanted was to grab attention and make Brooklyn stand out.

Over time, we kept adding new variations to the Hero Section. For example, we introduced the Hero Video, allowing users to add video backgrounds to their Heroes — something that felt bold and innovative at the time. We also added the Hero Slider, a simple image slider within the Hero Section, giving users more flexibility to create dynamic intros.

Brooklyn even had a small Hero Builder integrated directly into the theme — something I believe is still unique to this day.

Looking back, it’s clear I missed an opportunity to cement the Hero Section as a signature feature of Brooklyn. Once I saw other authors adopting the term, I stopped emphasizing Brooklyn’s role in popularizing it. I thought the concept spoke for itself.

How The Hero Went Mainstream

One of the most fascinating things about the Hero Section is how quickly the term caught on. Brooklyn’s popularity gave the Hero Section massive exposure. Designers and developers started noticing it, and soon, other theme authors began adopting the term in their products.

Brooklyn wasn’t just another theme. It was one of the top sellers on ThemeForest, the world’s largest marketplace for digital goods, with millions of users. And I didn’t just use the term “Hero” once or twice — I used it everywhere: descriptions, featured images, and documentation. I made sure people saw it. Before long, I noticed that more and more themes used the term to describe large intro sections in their work.

Today, the Hero Section is everywhere. It’s a standard in web design recognized by designers and developers worldwide. While I can’t say I invented the concept, I’m proud to have played a key role in bringing it into the mainstream.

Lessons From Building A Hero

Creating the Hero Section taught me a lot about design, creativity, and marketing. Here are the key takeaways:

Start Simple: The Hero Section started as a simple idea — a way to focus attention. You don’t need a complex plan to create something impactful.
Commit to Your Ideas: Once I decided on the term Hero, I committed to it in the code, the design, and the marketing. Consistency made it stick.
Bold Names Matter: Naming the section “Hero” instead of “Banner” gave it a personality and purpose. Names can define how users perceive a design.
Constantly Evolve: Adding features like the Hero Video and Hero Slider kept the concept fresh and adaptable to user needs.
Don’t Ignore Your Role: If you introduce something new, own it. I should have continued promoting Brooklyn as a Hero pioneer to solidify its legacy.

Inspiration Isn’t Magic; It’s Hard Work

Inspiration often comes from unexpected places. For me, it came from questioning a Bootstrap class name and reimagining it into something new. The Hero Section wasn’t just a product of creative brilliance — it was the result of persistence, experimentation, and a bit of luck.

When computers first started talking to each other, the methods were remarkably simple. In the early days of the Internet, systems exchanged files via FTP or communicated via raw TCP/IP sockets. This direct approach worked well for simple use cases but quickly showed its limitations as applications grew more complex.

# Basic socket server example
import socket

server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server_socket.bind((‘localhost’, 12345))
server_socket.listen(1)

while True:
connection, address = server_socket.accept()
data = connection.recv(1024)
# Process data
connection.send(response)

The real breakthrough in enabling complex communication between computers on a network came with the introduction of Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) in the 1980s. RPC allowed developers to call procedures on remote systems as if they were local functions, abstracting away the complexity of network communication. This pattern laid the foundation for many of the modern integration approaches we use today.

At its core, RPC implements a client-server model where the client prepares and serializes a procedure call with parameters, sends the message to a remote server, the server deserializes and executes the procedure, and then sends the response back to the client.

Here’s a simplified example using Python’s XML-RPC.

# Server
from xmlrpc.server import SimpleXMLRPCServer

def calculate_total(items):
return sum(items)

server = SimpleXMLRPCServer((“localhost”, 8000))
server.register_function(calculate_total)
server.serve_forever()

# Client
import xmlrpc.client

proxy = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(“http://localhost:8000/”)
try:
result = proxy.calculate_total([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
except ConnectionError:
print(“Network error occurred”)

RPC can operate in both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous modes.

Modern implementations such as gRPC support streaming and bi-directional communication. In the example below, we define a gRPC service called Calculator with two RPC methods, Calculate, which takes a Numbers message and returns a Result message, and CalculateStream, which sends a stream of Result messages in response.

// protobuf
service Calculator {
rpc Calculate(Numbers) returns (Result);
rpc CalculateStream(Numbers) returns (stream Result);
}

Modern Integrations: The Rise Of Web Services And SOA

The late 1990s and early 2000s saw the emergence of Web Services and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) became the standard for enterprise integration, introducing a more structured approach to system communication.

<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=”http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope”>
<soap:Header>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<m:GetStockPrice xmlns:m=”http://www.example.org/stock”>
<m:StockName>IBM</m:StockName>
</m:GetStockPrice>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

While SOAP provided robust enterprise features, its complexity, and verbosity led to the development of simpler alternatives, especially the REST APIs that dominate Web services communication today.

But REST is not alone. Let’s have a look at some modern integration patterns.

RESTful APIs

REST (Representational State Transfer) has become the de facto standard for Web APIs, providing a simple, stateless approach to manipulating resources. Its simplicity and HTTP-based nature make it ideal for web applications.

First defined by Roy Fielding in 2000 as an architectural style on top of the Web’s standard protocols, its constraints align perfectly with the goals of the modern Web, such as performance, scalability, reliability, and visibility: client and server separated by an interface and loosely coupled, stateless communication, cacheable responses.

In modern applications, the most common implementations of the REST protocol are based on the JSON format, which is used to encode messages for requests and responses.

// Request
async function fetchUserData() {
const response = await fetch(‘https://api.example.com/users/123’);
const userData = await response.json();
return userData;
}

// Response
{
“id”: “123”,
“name”: “John Doe”,
“_links”: {
“self”: { “href”: “/users/123” },
“orders”: { “href”: “/users/123/orders” },
“preferences”: { “href”: “/users/123/preferences” }
}
}

GraphQL

GraphQL emerged from Facebook’s internal development needs in 2012 before being open-sourced in 2015. Born out of the challenges of building complex mobile applications, it addressed limitations in traditional REST APIs, particularly the issues of over-fetching and under-fetching data.

At its core, GraphQL is a query language and runtime that provides a type system and declarative data fetching, allowing the client to specify exactly what it wants to fetch from the server.

// graphql
type User {
id: ID!
name: String!
email: String!
posts: [Post!]!
}

type Post {
id: ID!
title: String!
content: String!
author: User!
publishDate: String!
}

query GetUserWithPosts {
user(id: “123”) {
name
posts(last: 3) {
title
publishDate
}
}
}

Often used to build complex UIs with nested data structures, mobile applications, or microservices architectures, it has proven effective at handling complex data requirements at scale and offers a growing ecosystem of tools.

Webhooks

Modern applications often require real-time updates. For example, e-commerce apps need to update inventory levels when a purchase is made, or content management apps need to refresh cached content when a document is edited. Traditional request-response models can struggle to meet these demands because they rely on clients’ polling servers for updates, which is inefficient and resource-intensive.

Webhooks and event-driven architectures address these needs more effectively. Webhooks let servers send real-time notifications to clients or other systems when specific events happen. This reduces the need for continuous polling. Event-driven architectures go further by decoupling application components. Services can publish and subscribe to events asynchronously, and this makes the system more scalable, responsive, and simpler.

import fastify from ‘fastify’;

const server = fastify();
server.post(‘/webhook’, async (request, reply) => {
const event = request.body;

if (event.type === ‘content.published’) {
await refreshCache();
}

return reply.code(200).send();
});

This is a simple Node.js function that uses Fastify to set up a web server. It responds to the endpoint /webhook, checks the type field of the JSON request, and refreshes a cache if the event is of type content.published.

With all this background information and technical knowledge, it’s easier to picture the current state of web application development, where a single, monolithic app is no longer the answer to business needs, but a new paradigm has emerged: Composable Architecture.

Composable Architecture And Headless CMSs

This evolution has led us to the concept of composable architecture, where applications are built by combining specialized services. This is where headless CMS solutions have a clear advantage, serving as the perfect example of how modern integration patterns come together.

Headless CMS platforms separate content management from content presentation, allowing you to build specialized frontends relying on a fully-featured content backend. This decoupling facilitates content reuse, independent scaling, and the flexibility to use a dedicated technology or service for each part of the system.

Take Storyblok as an example. Storyblok is a headless CMS designed to help developers build flexible, scalable, and composable applications. Content is exposed via API, REST, or GraphQL; it offers a long list of events that can trigger a webhook. Editors are happy with a great Visual Editor, where they can see changes in real time, and many integrations are available out-of-the-box via a marketplace.

Imagine this ContentDeliveryService in your app, where you can interact with Storyblok’s REST API using the open source JS Client:

import StoryblokClient from “storyblok-js-client”;

class ContentDeliveryService {
constructor(private storyblok: StoryblokClient) {}

async getPageContent(slug: string) {
const { data } = await this.storyblok.get(cdn/stories/${slug}, {
version: ‘published’,
resolve_relations: ‘featured-products.products’
});

return data.story;
}

async getRelatedContent(tags: string[]) {
const { data } = await this.storyblok.get(‘cdn/stories’, {
version: ‘published’,
with_tag: tags.join(‘,’)
});

return data.stories;
}
}

The last piece of the puzzle is a real example of integration.

Again, many are already available in the Storyblok marketplace, and you can easily control them from the dashboard. However, to fully leverage the Composable Architecture, we can use the most powerful tool in the developer’s hand: code.

Let’s imagine a modern e-commerce platform that uses Storyblok as its content hub, Shopify for inventory and orders, Algolia for product search, and Stripe for payments.

Once each account is set up and we have our access tokens, we could quickly build a front-end page for our store. This isn’t production-ready code, but just to get a quick idea, let’s use React to build the page for a single product that integrates our services.

First, we should initialize our clients:

import StoryblokClient from “storyblok-js-client”;
import { algoliasearch } from “algoliasearch”;
import Client from “shopify-buy”;

const storyblok = new StoryblokClient({
accessToken: “your_storyblok_token”,
});
const algoliaClient = algoliasearch(
“your_algolia_app_id”,
“your_algolia_api_key”,
);
const shopifyClient = Client.buildClient({
domain: “your-shopify-store.myshopify.com”,
storefrontAccessToken: “your_storefront_access_token”,
});

Given that we created a blok in Storyblok that holds product information such as the product_id, we could write a component that takes the productSlug, fetches the product content from Storyblok, the inventory data from Shopify, and some related products from the Algolia index:

async function fetchProduct() {
// get product from Storyblok
const { data } = await storyblok.get(cdn/stories/${productSlug});

// fetch inventory from Shopify
const shopifyInventory = await shopifyClient.product.fetch(
data.story.content.product_id
);

// fetch related products using Algolia
const { hits } = await algoliaIndex.search(“products”, {
filters: category:${data.story.content.category},
});
}

We could then set a simple component state:

const [productData, setProductData] = useState(null);
const [inventory, setInventory] = useState(null);
const [relatedProducts, setRelatedProducts] = useState([]);

useEffect(() =>
// …
// combine fetchProduct() with setState to update the state
// …

fetchProduct();
}, [productSlug]);

And return a template with all our data:

<h1>{productData.content.title}</h1>
<p>{productData.content.description}</p>
<h2>Price: ${inventory.variants[0].price}</h2>
<h3>Related Products</h3>
<ul>
{relatedProducts.map((product) => (
<li key={product.objectID}>{product.name}</li>
))}
</ul>

We could then use an event-driven approach and create a server that listens to our shop events and processes the checkout with Stripe (credits to Manuel Spigolon for this tutorial):

const stripe = require(‘stripe’)

module.exports = async function plugin (app, opts) {
const stripeClient = stripe(app.config.STRIPE_PRIVATE_KEY)

server.post(‘/create-checkout-session’, async (request, reply) => {
const session = await stripeClient.checkout.sessions.create({
line_items: […], // from request.body
mode: ‘payment’,
success_url: “https://your-site.com/success”,
cancel_url: “https://your-site.com/cancel”,
})

return reply.redirect(303, session.url)
})
// …

And with this approach, each service is independent of the others, which helps us achieve our business goals (performance, scalability, flexibility) with a good developer experience and a smaller and simpler application that’s easier to maintain.

Conclusion

The integration between headless CMSs and modern web services represents the current and future state of high-performance web applications. By using specialized, decoupled services, developers can focus on business logic and user experience. A composable ecosystem is not only modular but also resilient to the evolving needs of the modern enterprise.

These integrations highlight the importance of mastering API-driven architectures and understanding how different tools can harmoniously fit into a larger tech stack.

In today’s digital landscape, success lies in choosing tools that offer flexibility and efficiency, adapt to evolving demands, and create applications that are future-proof against the challenges of tomorrow.

Do you use multiple Google Drive accounts for work, personal projects, or other reasons? Unfortunately, Google Drive for macOS doesn’t allow users to switch between accounts easily or sync multiple accounts at the same time.

But don’t worry—there are ways to install and use multiple instances of Google Drive on your macOS device. This guide will walk you through several methods, from creating separate macOS user profiles to using third-party tools, so you can manage multiple accounts efficiently.

What You Need Before You Start

Before setting up multiple instances of Google Drive on macOS, make sure you have the following ready:

macOS Version: Ensure your Mac is running macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or later. Google Drive works best with newer versions of macOS.
Google Drive App: Download and install the official Google Drive app from Google’s website.
Secondary Google Accounts: Have your additional Google accounts ready with login credentials.
Stable Internet Connection: A reliable connection is required for syncing data between accounts.

Once you’ve checked these requirements, you can proceed with one of the methods below to set up multiple Google Drive instances.

Method 1: Using Separate User Accounts on macOS

One of the easiest ways to run multiple Google Drive instances on macOS is by creating separate user accounts. Each account can have its own Google Drive app, logged into a different Google account. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a New User Profile

Click the Apple Menu in the top-left corner and select System Preferences.

Go to Users & Groups and click the Lock icon to make changes.

Click the + button to add a new user.

Fill in the details for the new user and click Create User.

Step 2: Set Up Google Drive in the New Profile

Log out of your current account and sign in to the new user profile.

Download and install the Google Drive app.

Sign in with your secondary Google account and set up sync preferences.

Step 3: Switch Between Profiles as Needed

When you need access to a different Google Drive account, simply switch profiles from the Apple Menu > Log Out, and sign into the other user account.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Completely separate profiles ensure no data overlap between accounts.
Cons: Switching between macOS profiles can be time-consuming.

Method 2: Using Third-Party Apps

If you prefer a more seamless solution without switching macOS profiles, third-party apps like CloudMounter or ExpanDrive allow you to mount multiple Google Drive accounts as network drives. Here’s how to set it up:

Step 1: Download and Install the App

Visit the official website for CloudMounter or ExpanDrive.
Download and install the application on your Mac.

Step 2: Add Multiple Google Drive Accounts

Launch the app and click Add New Connection (or similar option).
Select Google Drive as the storage type.

Sign in with your first Google account and grant the necessary permissions.

Repeat the process to add additional Google accounts.

Step 3: Access Google Drives in Finder

Once connected, each Google Drive account will appear as a separate network drive in Finder, allowing you to manage files just like a local folder.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Centralized access to all accounts without switching profiles.
Cons: Requires a paid subscription for most features.

Method 3: Using Web Browsers for Multiple Accounts

If you only need occasional access to multiple Google Drive accounts and don’t require Finder integration, web browsers can help. You can either use different browsers or set up multiple profiles in Chrome. Here’s how:

Option 1: Use Different Browsers

Log in to your primary Google Drive account using Safari.

Open another browser, such as Google Chrome or Firefox, and log in to your secondary account.

This allows you to manage both accounts simultaneously without switching profiles or installing additional software.

Option 2: Use Multiple Profiles in Google Chrome

Open Google Chrome and click on your profile picture in the top-right corner.

Select Add to create a new profile.
Log in with a different Google account in the new profile.
Switch between profiles by clicking on the profile icon.

Pros and Cons

Pros: No additional software required, quick and easy setup.
Cons: Limited to browser access—doesn’t integrate with Finder for local file management.

Method 4: Using Virtual Machines or Containers

For advanced users, virtual machines (VMs) or containers offer a way to run multiple instances of Google Drive in isolated environments. This method is useful if you need complete separation between accounts without switching macOS profiles. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Install a Virtual Machine Application

Download and install a VM tool like Parallels Desktop or VirtualBox.

Set up a new virtual machine with macOS or a Linux operating system.

Step 2: Configure Google Drive

Install the Google Drive app within the virtual machine.
Log in with a secondary Google account and configure sync settings.

Step 3: Use Shared Folders (Optional)

You can set up shared folders between the host macOS and the VM to transfer files easily without re-downloading them.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Full isolation of accounts and complete independence between instances.
Cons: Complex setup, requires additional resources like RAM and storage.

Troubleshooting Tips

Running multiple instances of Google Drive can sometimes lead to errors or syncing issues. Here are some common problems and their solutions:

1. Sync Errors Between Accounts

Ensure the Google Drive app is updated to the latest version.
Check that there is enough storage available in each account.
Pause and resume syncing in the app to restart the process.

2. Conflicts with File Versioning

Avoid modifying the same files across multiple accounts to prevent version conflicts.
Use the “Backup and Sync” option instead of “Stream Files” if conflicts persist.

3. Performance Issues

Reduce the number of files being synced at once by selecting specific folders instead of syncing everything.
Close unused applications to free up memory and processing power.
Restart the Google Drive app or reboot your Mac if performance slows down.

4. Login or Authentication Problems

Clear browser cache and cookies if web-based logins fail.
Reinstall the Google Drive app if authentication issues occur within the app.

Following these troubleshooting steps should resolve most issues you encounter. If problems persist, visit the Google Drive Help Center for additional support.

Security and Privacy Considerations

When using multiple Google Drive accounts, it’s essential to prioritize security and privacy to protect your data. Here are a few best practices:

1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Activate 2FA for each Google account to add an extra layer of security.
Visit Google Account Security to enable this feature.

2. Use Strong, Unique Passwords

Ensure each Google account has a strong, unique password.
Use a password manager like 1Password or LastPass to manage passwords securely.

3. Encrypt Sensitive Files

Encrypt files before uploading them to Google Drive for added security.
Tools like Cryptomator can help encrypt your files locally before syncing.

4. Monitor Account Activity

Regularly check for suspicious activity in your Google account under Security Settings.
Log out of inactive devices connected to your Google Drive accounts.

5. Backup Important Data

Keep offline backups of critical files to avoid data loss in case of accidental deletions or sync errors.
Consider using an external hard drive or another cloud service for redundancy.

Following these steps will help keep your data safe while managing multiple Google Drive accounts.

Conclusion

Managing multiple Google Drive accounts on macOS might seem tricky at first, but with the right approach, it’s entirely possible. Whether you prefer using separate macOS profiles, third-party tools, browser-based solutions, or virtual machines, this guide provides the steps you need to get started.

For quick access and simplicity, using web browsers or Chrome profiles works best. If you need Finder integration and seamless syncing, third-party apps like CloudMounter or ExpanDrive are excellent options. On the other hand, advanced users may find virtual machines more suitable for complete isolation between accounts.

No matter which method you choose, don’t forget to follow the security tips outlined above to keep your data safe and secure. If you run into any issues, refer to the troubleshooting section for quick fixes.
