My WordPress Comments Wishlist
12.11.2020
A built-in commenting system is one of the reasons people reach for WordPress (and often stay there long-term). While I do think having a comment system is compelling (and as big of a fan of building on WordPress as I am), I find the comments system on WordPress quite crusty. It needs some love!...
Getting the WordPress Block Editor to Look Like the Front End Design
4.11.2020
I’m a WordPress user and, if you’re anything like me, you always have two tabs open when you edit a post: one with the new fancy pants block editor, aka Gutenberg, and another with a preview of the post so you know it won’t look wonky on the front end.
It’s no surprise that...
WordPress and Jamstack
26.10.2020
I recently moderated a panel at Netlify’s virtual Jamstack Conf that included Netlify CEO Matt Biilman and Automattic founder Matt Mullenweg. The whole thing was built up — at least to some — as a “Jamstack vs. WordPress” showdown.

There’s a good reason why experienced devs say “it depends” so often
2.10.2020
I feel like Jerod Santo really understood what I was trying to say in Weaved Webs, when I was trying to cover the emerging WordPress (“versus”) Jamstack conversation.
If you asked El Duderino if you should go Jamstack he’d probably tell you, “It’s a complicated case. Lotta ins. Lotta...
Using Markdown and Localization in the WordPress Block Editor
23.9.2020
If we need to show documentation to the user directly in the WordPress editor, what is the best way to do it?
Since the block editor is based on React, we may be tempted to use React components and HTML code for the documentation. That is the approach I followed in my previous article, which...
Weaved Webs
17.9.2020
There is a bit of an irony with Jamstack.
The concept is simple: you put pre-rendered, static files on web hosting (a CDN) designed to do that well. That’s it. If you need to do more, anything you do from there is done with client-side JavaScript, which is likely talking to serverless...

Designing a JavaScript Plugin System
25.8.2020
WordPress has plugins. jQuery has plugins. Gatsby, Eleventy, and Vue do, too.
Plugins are a common feature of libraries and frameworks, and for a good reason: they allow developers to add functionality, in a safe, scalable way. This makes the core project more valuable, and it builds a community...

Frontity is React for WordPress
9.7.2020
Some developers just prefer working in React. I don’t blame them really, because I like React too. Maybe that’s what they learned first. I’ve been using it long enough there is just some comfort to it. But mostly it is the strong component model that I like. There is just...
