This is a solid video. I fully support the no-coder’s right to build websites however it makes sense to them, but man, the hoop-jumping and interface-rodeo here kinda blows my mind. (I’m a front-end dev, so I’m biased) Needing to learn novel ideas like pattern syncing,…

Here's a quick video showing how I'd tackle this design question by @RinodeBoer in the WordPress block editor without writing any code.



My ex is taking my son to a bar mitzvah pretty soon and I secretly hope it’s werewolf-themed.

UX thought of the day: The default button text for forms should be 'Send,' not 'Submit.' That is all. #UX #forms


Evil WordPress thought of the day The creation of dozens of 'GPL sites' for premium WordPress tools where all the plugins have site-bricking code in them (use your imagination). Wash that 'market' with so much garbage so that word gets out there that buying from GPL sites will…
