WordPress and the block editor in particular could’ve benefited from a proper Fields API earlier on. It would’ve helped separate content from layout more cleanly and offered better templating options… but here we are?!

Not the most elegant solution, but when I’ve made changes in the Site Editor, I’ve always exported the theme and overwritten the theme files in my repo. This mostly works with minimal issues.
I do find our overreliance on saving page layout, site layout, and content all in the database concerning.

I’ve yet to work with a web designer using Figma who consistently names and groups their layers, uses components properly, applies styles, or leverages any of the other features needed to produce dev ready designs...let alone something suitable for automatic slop site generation.

Hot Take: Full Stack Devs that don't understand semantic markup are not "Full Stack"

I was just speaking with a fellow developer about how your work has kept me more informed about Chrome than I have ever been. This is a huge loss for them.

phpBB forums. We had several spun up for "gamer clans" usually organizing Half-Life deathmatch events between clans.

My usual setup is a repo per theme and custom plugin. I only version control WordPress itself for enterprise clients with more robust server setups.

There was a trick to get gradients where you would use the color picker between two colors, it would give you a "gradient" between those, screenshot, and sample the screenshot...

In high school we would have little "Web Dev Challenges" where we built a small site with nothing but MSpaint and notepad, no Googling for answers. Mind you this was like 2006, none of those fancy tools we have today.

I try to switch to Firefox about twice a year every year. Between the profile and performance issues it's not worth it.

I caught a client using a QR code generator that would do the same thing. SMDH, this stuff has no place on the web!!!

I have not used this myself, so I don't know if it will meet all of your specs, but I like Aki's work in general.

I'm with you. Accessibility isn't about adhering to rigid rules but about making thoughtful, inclusive decisions. While "visual order matches DOM order" is a good baseline, the real goal is to ensure all users can navigate and understand the content comfortably. 🤷♂️

I read this as Chat Game of Thrones and can only assume its slower because it uses ravens to send messages.

I remember reading a book from the library to learn how to do frames.

I've wanted a tumblr like posting experience for years. Gotta make it happen. Also allow posts without titles (and not display the title if its the same as the post id)

💯👆 I often need to wrap the top content in another group, display flex and space-between to make the bottom content hug the bottom of the container, regardless of its height. Which only solves part of this problem. Subgrid will be a much-welcomed addition that solves countless layout issues.

Did you re-save your permalinks? 😅

Had the exact experience this morning.

I've also been thinking about subgrid a lot, the problems it solves, and how this can relate to WordPress. I think @advancedcolumns.com is prime to be that solution.
