Of course, the above post was automatically shared with Autoblue, so you can see it in action! 😁 I've also included a few useful settings to customize how your publication/site will be displayed on Bluesky and other apps.

And here's the result—a polished file upload UI that looks like it came straight from WordPress core. Another step closer to releasing the Document Hub extension for Better Loop. 🤞🏼

I always always always want my plugins to feel like they belong in WordPress. It's very important to me that they feel like a native extension of WP itself. If that means designing custom icons in the same style for the Document Hub extension, then that's what I'll do 😅

How hard is it to build a loop with multiple filters working together in Better Loop? Watch me design and build a loop for a recipe page in less than two minutes 😎

I've added a pretty steep launch discount to Better Loop (almost 40% off!). It' also the lowest price it'll ever be. I want to reward early customers for their support. As a bonus, early customers get to shape future updates with your feedback and ideas. I want to build Better Loop for you!

Neat lil' feature coming to Better Loop 1.1.0: link to post. This makes the entire card clickable, rather than just the post title. It's also quite fun to get to create a custom icon 🫨

Walking through Central Park in the snow is such a magical feeling. It's hard not to feel romantic about New York.

Have you ever used this technique with a header with rounded edges? I've been banging my head for 2 hours now trying to get it to work with multiple SVG masks etc (see screenshot for issue).

The logging interface for Autoblue is finished and will be included in tomorrow's update! I'm pretty darn happy with the UX, and I think it really feels like it belongs in WordPress. In general, I want Autoblue to be intuitive and just plain fun to use. This'll be so helpful when debugging issues!

I'm hopeful this logging interface will help a ton in debugging sharing issues. Will be included in tomorrow's update!

Ahh ok, got it! I think this text is wrong then. Will place my order soon, thanks for making such a great product.

Awesome, I'll do that! Can you explain to me how the math works? 30% off €79 is ~€23,70, so does that mean the remaining two months on my active license get prorated at only €3 total? Happy to pay for it either way, just trying to make sense of it.

Autoblue now supports @mentions, #hashtags and links! Try it out with the alpha version, available here: autoblue.cc If you find any issues with it, please let me know and I'll fix them asap 🙇🏼‍♂️ (I'm also experimenting with some marketing images, hence the image below!)
Text: Added support for @mentions, #hashtags and links. When sharing a post with Autoblue, hashtags, mentions and links will now work automatically.

Guess what I just did 😎 It's still very barebones, but it's a WordPress block pulling in comments from your Bluesky post.

Took me forever to get this admin screen ready, but I'm pretty pleased with the UX and interactions. Wrapping up v1 this weekend 😎 (and yes, I deleted the app password already, don't get any ideas lol)

And v1 of the sidebar UX. It's my bedtime now but I'll get this finished tomorrow and wrap it up in a zip for anyone who would like to test it!

Got a little sidetracked today, but finished v1 of the options page for this little side project, dubbed "Bluesky for WordPress". Next up is automatically sharing new posts to Bluesky (with some options), and then integrating replies to that Bluesky post into your site's comments.

💡 Easily create new local WordPress installs with Laravel Herd Just created a script that automatically creates WP installs for Laravel Herd. You enter a few details, and the script handles creating the new folder, downloading WP, setting up SSL, setting debug constants etc. Blog post coming soon!
