So this is nice to hack on – my own little cross-posting and feed-reading UI!
All in a single HTML/JS file using AlpineJS and local storage.
No back end whatsoever.

It can be so disheartening building stuff that very few other people seem to make use of. 😕
So make things that you enjoy and use yourself. 😎
And enjoy the creative process. 🙂
If it’s not fun and no one else seems to care, don’t do it.
Is there a “you can have two of three” thing here?
– Fun
– Useful to you
– Useful to others
If it doesn’t do two of these, drop it!

Still hard, even with hints and cheats. 😆
Or maybe I don’t know enough WordPress internals? 😬
Argh! I gave up on today’s #WordlePress after 16 guesses. 😭😭😭

Hacking on #WordlePress today.
It was too hard, so there are now options to:
– Get a hint of a word. This will reveal the first letter and length of a word, like “r*******”
– Outright cheat by having a single word revealed
In future, uses of these will be tracked and included in the sharing text, and your user stats.
It’s still just for funsies though. Don’t take anything too seriously here.
Thanks to all who play!

Wow. I knew I had hoarded way too much stuff in an ancient Pocket account. I’d never been able to properly clear it out because the app couldn’t load the whole list. But now it seems I can sort by date in reverse!
Digging up some right old gems of articles.
“At the time of this writing, Mt. Gox values a BTC at ~$10.75 USD — however that could fluctuate up or down, depending on the Bitcoin market as a whole.”

Yay! Turbo Admin plugin updated now too.
Decided to include user and plugin search as these feel like core things, and I want you to see search modes.
WooCommerce and Gravity Forms (and other future integrations) will, for now, be extension only.
19/12/2022, 08:02
I realised that the plugin version of Turbo Admin needed at least the core code update. Working on that this morning.
Keeping the additional search modes (users, plugins, WooCommerce, Gravity Forms) as extension-only for now. But that might change.

It is done! Turbo Admin’s next big version (v1.12) is complete. Submitted to Chrome Web Store for review. Docs written.
Hopefully you all get to try this next week!
If you’re still at work, that is.

On my new work laptop I’ve had to move from Firefox to Chrome. Today I discovered the Cmd-Shift-A shortcut and it’s AMAZING. Proper keyboard tab switching. Love it.
15/12/2022, 20:41
ONE MORE!!! I’ll be so relieved when this is done and built and out there.
Plan is to soft-launch Turbo Admin 1.12 (it’s a minor number, but a major release) ASAP so you can all get it, but run some promotion in the new year.

@b0rk‘s Debugging Manifesto (and ALL her comics!) is wonderful. I may print and frame it.

Ooof. Need to add some more clues for people. It’s just too hard!!
Argh! I gave up on today’s #WordlePress after 185 guesses. 😭😭😭

The @GiveWP team share their support manual.
This little guide on tone and communicating effectively is a GEM that everyone who works in tech should read.
This stuff probably applies well to things like PRs and code reviews too.
Thanks… @benUNC?

Coding thought: I’ve always loved types. My first job used static analysis a LOT! With the combination of PHPStan & JSDoc letting me use types without changing my code much I’m LOVING the help & insight that types give me. Old PHP code with structured arrays is SO annoying now.

This morning is just going to be a social media stream of consciousness from me as I process many things from the last few weeks and months. You may want to mute me. 😂

Catching up on reading. This is a great little tutorial from @briancoords@wpbuilds.social using the new #WordPress #JavaScript packages.
The JSX + components seem like such a no-brainer. But I realise I’m basically allergic to big piles of dependencies. If I build this, how long until it breaks? 🤔

The enter key now also submits a guess. SO glad I fixed that!
