  • Past few days i've read up on the "Block Protocol" updates – mentioned at #StateOfTheWord Q&A a week or so ago. I’ve signed up for early access to the #WordPress plugin (said to be out in Feb 2023): https://blockprotocol.org/wordpress @sarahgooding has more on WP Tavern: https://wptavern.com/block-protocol-announces-new-wordpress-plugin-coming-in-2023 Creator @spolsky has more too: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2022/12/19/progress-on-the-block-protocol/ #opensource

  • @mattmedeiros No. At least not through the web interface. During #StateOfTheWord the web was too slow (it wasn't the browser or the machine). Thinking of a few alt ways to do it. The right Mac client might work. Sad that Tweetdeck (which runs on the web) spins circles vs what I was using here.

  • "What Will Impact #WordPress Freelancers in 2023?” Eric summaries the top things… I think if anything was to add in 2023 it would be freelancers seeing more education (and possibly hinting at some sort of certification), more events for freelancers to decide if they want to be a part of, and freelancers might want to…

  • A little late on this, but this popped into my head after @photomatt showed off Playground (#WordPress in a browser) during #StateOfTheWord. https://developer.wordpress.org/playground/ demo: https://developer.wordpress.org/playground/demo/

  • @chris Matt mentioned a manual process during #StateOfTheWord. It makes sense they would start out with featured plugins although not all the featured are added yet (BuddyPress and bbPress aren't yet for example).

  • More firsts on the custom tax in the #WordPress repo (at least for me): Classic Editor unsurprisingly gets “Community Plugin". #Gutenberg gets the same but w/ a “Contribute” link. Jetpack gets “Commercial” and “Support” link that goes to their website. Few labeled now but as said in #StateOfTheWord things just getting started.

  • "It’s scary when you hear “end of life” but in practice every major web host continues to back port security and support. Including @automattic." @photomatt Also: Apparently theres a backport of PHP 7.4 that fixes bugs #WordPress community (in Github?) #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • “In #opensource: with many eyes all bugs are shallow." @photomatt #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • .@allie_nimmons asks @photomatt: “What do you think is the biggest challenge #WordPress is facing right now?” #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • #Openverse is a completely open API – if @Drupal or @TryGhost want to use it, it’s open to them.” @photomatt #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • “The #WordPress photo directory: auto credit and presenting more stats… sounds like things that could be possible, we should do that.” “Our library needs to get bigger for people to use it more. Also maybe possibly adding faces, people.” @photomatt #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • “One of the fun and best things about #opensource is that my code is running across a million websites.” @photomatt #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • .@michelleames asks photomatt: “#WordPress photo directory has 5k+ photos… where do we go from here? How can we better market it?” #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • BTW developer.wordpress.org/playground/ looks to be a live demo of the “100% #WordPreess in the browser” technology. #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • I don’t think New Yorek will be habitable in 100 years but here’s hoping @photomatt 😆 #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • #WordPress “Playground" could be great for learning, faster support or trying out plugins. #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • More info on #WordPress “PlayGround”. developer.wordpress.org/playground Virtual machine using web assembly creates the site 100% in the browser, not on a server. @photomatt #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • #WordPress “Playground”: Everything in the browser, able to create a new theme, modifications in seconds. In the future “Imagine a guideded experience where you can edit code and see the results instantly.” @photomatt #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • .@photomatt says “#ChatGPT sounds confienent but can be completely inaccurate.” Sounds perfect for the #WordPress community (my quote, not Matts). #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • #ChatGPT favors @photomatt and #WordPress? Let the conspiracy begin. #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • .@photomatt mentiond #ChatGPT. Take a drink. #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • New taxonomy for #WordPRess plugin and theme directory to “self-identity for what kind of project they are” (“solo single player plugin” vs “commnity plugin – not upsells, free”) @photomatt #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • Phase 4 is multilingual and still “years away”. @photomatt #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • Phase 3 of #Gutenberg: Significant improvements to post provisions UI in #WordPress. You can more easily see the history of how pages evolved over time. @photomatt #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • Phase 3 of #Gutenberg: Making #WordPress “multi-player”. Real time collab like Google Docs. Share a draft of a theme or webpage with a special invite, allowing “commenting”. @photomatt #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • New taxonomies “kaunching this month” in the #WordPress plugin (and theme?) directories according to @photomatt. “We love them all”. #SoTW #StateOfTheWord

  • “Commerical Plugins” will now apparently be a taxonomy or tagged as such in the #WordPress plugin and theme directory.” @photomatt #SoTW #StateOfTheWord
