Month: November 2024

This is a very good piece of “art”.

I like all the “DO NOT DO THIS” in the article too. 😂

Yay!

https://caniphp.com/ is updated to include new features and deprecations for PHP v8.4.

This tool is like caniuse.com but for PHP – it tells you which features are in which versions and rounds up resources related to those features.

You can explore the PHP 8.4 changes at:

https://caniphp.com/?version=8.4

(Ironically, no PHP is used in the creation of this site!)

@dianawebdev Hi Di!

I've just finished a big update to caniphp.com to add info for PHP 8.4.

Can you update the versions.ts in your RayCast extension to add it? I'm not sure if this is a simple PR to the raycast/extensions repo or not, so probably best if you can do it?

Thanks – hope you're well.

🖥️ Right. PHP 8.4 is out later in the month. Time to stop procrastinating and get https://caniphp.com/ updated!

Let’s see what’s new!!

That was a WILD weekend of dipping in and out of Turbo Admin support as the command-palettes-in-WordPress train continues to rumble.

Proud of what was achieved.
– Converted one highly skeptical user into an advocate.
– Got LOADS of great feedback.
– Made my first ever refund to an actually-not-that-unhappy customer who just needed some extra compatibility.
– Hand-held someone with lots of questions through to purchase.

Surprisingly emotional at times. But a good day in the end!

I feel I should say some things about the “business model” behind Turbo Admin, my command palette for WordPress. I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

"Software is amazing isn't it? I can self-teach so much. I can make interesting & useful things. I can share them with the world instantly. Sure, I can make money from them. But I don't have to. It can just be fun & exciting to make, share and help others!”

Software is amazing isn't it? I can self-learn so much. I can create interesting and useful things and share them with the whole world instantly. Sure, I can make money from them if I want to. I can make a LOT of money. But I don't have to. It can just be fun and exciting and useful to make and share and help others thrive.

And that was (once?) the beauty of the open source spirit.
