Adding page templates to a plugin used to be a significant pain, but now it's trivial!

I added WooCommerce to my hobby site to sell my book. I’ve made about $400, only trying to break even on printing costs. Now Jetpack Stats wants $100 of that per year to keep using it. *Deactivated.*

The core/navigation block is still a complete nightmare.

Just implemented one of my favorite web design features: when a lightbox displays an image smaller than its original size!

Not mentioned is they removed the corner swipe completely apparently. This is garbage. #oneui7

The 12-column grid system has done more harm than good to web design, and I will not elaborate any further.

Term Query Loop Block 0.7.0 is out!

This release is a doozy, implementing the variation/pattern picker as well as a filter for the term query vars so that you can extend it just like the core Query Loop block.

My favorite @notion.com feature is when it takes over 45 seconds and three full refreshes to load everything, giving me just enough time to mentally prepare for everything to be lost.

The first small step in making a better internet for each other is starting to establish a presence there that isn’t owned by a platform. Separate your self from Meta and Twitter and Substack and own your presence. Is it as easy? No, but it’s worth it.

I thought setting hover styles for buttons via theme.json already exists. But it doesn't. Raised during development for TT4, mentioned during development in TT5, still ignored. Insert sad noises.
