If you take mass transit everyday don’t sleep on Transit. So well designed. I use it just so I have a reminder to get off at my stop, the live activity makes sure of that. apps.apple.com/us/app/trans...

And in the quiz results, we're taking things up a level for quiz designers. Now they'll be able to specify when a block should appear based on what score the user landed on, and from there they can even fire off specific animations depending on the score.

I've been having maybe too much fun working on Quiz Builder 4.0...
Now completely refactored to use the WordPress Interactivity API, AND block bindings. This will allow us a greater deal of layout and styling control, and for the first time rich media inside answers.

One of the nice things about View Transitions is that if you reload the page (as we do when logging a user in to our public facing user accounts system), then only the changed element's animate in. It's all so seamless, with so little work.

WOW I have been on a tear the last couple of days adding AI functionality to our new Power Table block. Seriously, @felixarntz.bsky.social AI Services plugin is amazing, so easy to work with. Here we go, generate: title, caption, and data all working. *data not number checked just a demo

Weeee my very first AI feature utilizing @felixarntz.bsky.social AI Services plugin. This feature integrates with our new Power Table block (fork of Flexible Table) in our block library to generate captions for Tables given their data and their table name if present.

Needs just a bit more polish but I'm happy with our updated Carousel block is at it. This new Carousel drops our Splidejs dependency in favor of pure CSS scroll snapping. Going live around noon on pewresearch.org and in PRC Block Library repo.
