iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This just looks like another Matt temper tantrum... can people be reblocked? Or is it just open floodgates? So sorry that this happened to you.

The Maps Filter looks interesting - not sure how much capability it will have when compared to out go-to Jetengine Map Listings. #bricksbuilder

The selector detector with custom style overwrites is super interesting - we've never had an issue writing custom css, but never though about overwriting the css on set templates or components in the builder. That's an interesting workflow. #bricksbuilder

000

Visual CSS Grid Builder is so needed - yet to use it in anger, but love that it looks a lot simpiler to quickly create the grid you need. Beautiful UI design. #bricksbuilder

Bulk Edit Elements is a great workflow improvement when in a rush and not setting 'pixel-perfect' css classes. #bricksbuilder

Icon Manager is interesting, nice to have, but not super essentual. This would be good for large site where the client is updating themselves. #bricksbuilder

000

Font manager is great, love how you can one-click Google Fonts straight into your own library to serve locally. #bricksbuilder

The rejigged UI for the CSS Pseudo classes works fantastic, much better than the older one. I love how it's much 'closer to the bones' just by having the css class name then :hover staight after, just like you would in CSS. #bricksbuilder

My thoughts on the new Bricks Builder 2.0 Release #wordpress #bricksbuilder #wp...

If there are not plans to move towards, no vision road mapped down to actionable goals.... ...actually, this explains so much about the last couple of years WP development.

While Matts response "The industry changes so fast, it would be silly to plan 5 years out" makes sense in theory, it's still a terrible proposition for a organisation of this size. #wordpress #wp

There needs to be a proper UI goal, direction, and a final vision. It's current state is terrible. Everything I've seen so far has made WP leadership look like a rubber ducky floating in the middle of the pacific.

Copilot never worked well for me, it always gave terrible broken suggestions. I had a better time copy pasting into ChatGPT. Might give Cursor a try :-)

000

In the last 2 days, I did as much in #bricksbuilder as it took 2 months in blocks (to be fair, I was learning... but it's not worth the stress at this point.)

000

The goal was NOT to load 100 supporting plugins for customisation, but I compromised with GenerateBlocks, just because it was needed.

000

Next was getting a query to work inside a flex grid. Nope.

000

The breaking point was trying to get dynamic links on containers in a query loop. Can't do it.

000

Icons on button, I couldn't work out how to code that without plugins.

I give up. I spent almost two months learning WordPress blocks, how to get them working in a vanilla custom theme, every little thing has been like pulling teeth. #wordpress

Thanks Robert! Doing things like that will help kick start the same engagement here. <3

Is it a mammoth task to fork? Smarter people than me treat it like it's impossible.

Are you kidding me? That's ridiculous. They really don't contribute to the Ecosystem? Their whole business model is build on contributing to the security of the ecosystem.

What is everyones tricks for discovering a WordPress tech stack without the logins? What plugins and theme are they using, etc? #wordpress #wp

000

Yeah, nah, it was probably directed personally by Matt.

I had the exact same train of thought - Mathias was cool, I'm excited for everything to finally fall into place - Mary, What about all my clients confused on weither they are using wordpress.com or wordpress the software? Almost every client is confused about that, no one is confused by WP Engine.
