Been super impressed with the user experience of @EventKoi but also the very-intentional approach it takes to extend WordPress -- think it's paving a road many will follow!

Did you know that @eventkoi lets you import events from The Events Calendar?

@calgarywebdev @mikemcalister @KadenceWP Oh I love the Ollie Library 😎 Kadence syncing/hosting the media is the real power feature though. I've seen agencies create per-client API keys in addition to a global, shared API key to distribute subset and shared patterns like a mini Patterns as a Service SaaS.

The US labor force is a living, breathing map. 🇺🇸

Watch the number of counties with labor forces in structural decline spread like a virus across America between 2010 and 2025.

Shout out to @JMBDaecius for the idea to do this.

When you're excited your truly mediocre, middling ISP is finally getting some competition and then you check the Tea and @om brewed it perfectly, piping hot. Spectacular writing, serious bummer to read 😅 TL;DR - Google Fiber probably isn't next ISP bae.

What's the most ironic time to get a text your home Internet is down? 4:04 🤣

"Journalistic integrity aside, I don’t know how I can give a better example of what’s at stake here. We have an example of what appears to be another AI reinterpreting this story and hallucinating false information about me. And that interpretation has already been published in a major news outlet, as part of the persistent public record." https://t.co/H41h0oyR6o

Crossed a pretty satisfying personal milestone today about 20 months in the making: 24 doses of vaccines to retrain my immune system to be resilient in the modern world post-transplant. Very glad to be done with arm punches for a while, very grateful and fortunate to get them.

@mikemcalister @shaunandrews I still CLI every now and then, /session helps go between app and terminal, but I would not have gotten a full podcast client cooked as fast in the terminal 🎧

[Dave Ryan 🦋 @daves.social @0aveRyan]

@mikemcalister @shaunandrews I've got a few gripes, like: I want all the flags as UI options 😎 but much prefer the AskUserQuestion in the desktop app and I find it's nice to keep terminal for build tools and sessions near chats.

[Dave Ryan 🦋 @daves.social @0aveRyan]

@nickmdiego @mikemcalister Yep, same. Separation of concerning copilots, or something 😅

[Dave Ryan 🦋 @daves.social @0aveRyan]

I'm willing to pay for convenience. Time is precious. Plenty of apps and services I gladly pay for. It's also become convenient to cook right-sized, tailored solutions with workflows, whistles, AI and data where you want them.

Made my own podcast client and todo/grocery SaaS 😎

I’ve spent over a decade helping others learn to develop, create plugins, and extend #WordPress.
But I’d never actually published my own plugin. That changed last week with something that drew me to contributing to the WP Training Team & #LearnWP years ago. https://t.co/A4YpqEJauE

[@nathanwrigley.com on Bluesky @wpbuilds]

First time launching a product, and it's a #WordPress plugin called PodcasterPlus Blocks. Still some work to do on the site, but the product is pretty cool! https://t.co/05V2bH8Gxv If you don't get what it does, please reach out, more vids coming soon! Excited! With @danmaby

@richtabor But first migrate your server, then redo your DXP and workflow, next you can worry about frontend and only then can you write the words. Just did step one 😅
