Are you calling attribute/state updates inside effect or something similar without proper conditions? That’s usually a good place to start.

It’s probably causing an infinite loop somewhere. Hard to say without code.

You can also use `wp dist-archive` and the .distignore file. It's less opinionated than `wp-script`. Ref: developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands....

Building software is like playing an open-world RPG.🎮 The main quest is shipping features. The side quests are fixing debt, improving performance and tooling. Ignore them, progress slows. Obsess over them, you forget the goal. Balance is key. Here’s how I approach it ⬇️ riad.blog/2025/02/07/m...

Hey WordPress, anyone built anything interesting with DataViews or DataForm so far?

My question was mostly about not matching styles or using core components when available. Jessica already noted that some plugins might want to differentiate from the core.

It's nice to see folks building cool things on top of the block editor. I want to understand why most use custom-styled tabs and panels in the sidebar. The block inspector tabs have been in the core since WP 6.2. make.wordpress.org/core/2023/03...
