No unfortunately!

If the inner blocks only exist in that one parent block, I do all the JS (and often the css) in one file attached to the parent.

As someone who has an extremely dry personality, I totally feel this.

I pointed it out and it’s my most visible tweet now and I regret it 😂

Can I ask why you went Shopify (over say... WooCommerce)?

Alta Vista was my jam. I think it was the home screen on the computers in my high school library.

Considering I’m already paying a monthly fee for Apple One or whatever it’s called, the least they could do is make my HomePods capable of actually playing the song I requested.

Have you looked at Greyd’s multisite tools? They solve a lot of those issues around staging sites.

This is the take I see most often in the techfluencer space. Are there great counterpoints you suggest reading (from the Verge or others)?

So far yes! I've learned that I don't want any of the fancy features like tasks and dates and stuff - I just needed a really fast and easy place to take notes and draft posts with minimally invasive Markdown formatting, and it is serving that purpose very well.

Keep me updated if you do. I'd love to hear about it as you're going through it.

Our developer docs are the place to start BUT we're investing a lot of time into fixing them up over the coming weeks (including a much better "Getting Started" pathway).

I was never been able to get Threads into my rotation (same with Instagram or Facebook). Do you use it regularly?

Yeah and it’s much more aggressive on Bluesky than other networks.

Nice! Would love to see any sites you build with it.

Nice! I found that we do have an experimental WooCommerce MCP in progress. Pretty neat stuff...

Haha that’s not a bad idea!

Definitely in consideration. Would an MCP server help you developer stores or extensions with WooCommerce? I'd love to hear more use cases for it.

Do either of you ever feed docs into it as part of the context?

We did a similar approach with the Create Content Model project- turning parts of a template into separate chunks stored in post meta. Separating design from content. The hardest part was really just the UX and fighting Gutenberg.

Hey Brad! Would you be interested in chatting about this on my podcast? I’ve built a ton of WordPress (and other) sites and we could go over pros/cons, when to use it and when not.
Unrelated disclosure I do work at WooCommerce (WP ecomm software).

For sure - the cart has inner blocks, but I just meant that there's no query loop of cart items that are designed via blocks (that I'm aware of. Would be cool though!). That's all handled by filters/slots.

I've never noticed this! If you don't have posts you can't see anything in the post template block.. huh.
I think the Cart block has it easier because there's no inner blocks to design the layout of each individual cart item, as far as I'm aware.
