First test: can Fable 5 build a WordPress block theme?
One shot. Fully editable. Native WordPress patterns.
Yeah… this feels next level.
Since you can see me now, here's a site I made to demo/explain WebMCP:
Maybe you've heard about WebMCP, but if you'd like to see it in action and learn how to work with it, how agents use it, what the spec looks like, and some important links?
It's interactive! Use the extension to actuate the page:
@AzzX Pretty solid (it uses CSS grid)...write up coming soon.
Following on from yesterday's post about Gogh...
The goal is simple: build a WordPress page builder that's as easy to use as Canva, so complete beginners can create beautiful websites with no training.
One idea I've been playing with...
Start with a Gutenberg pattern, then convert it into a freeform canvas where you can drag, resize and rearrange everything visually.
You get the speed of patterns, with the freedom to fine tune the design however you like.
Feels pretty solid so far.
Would this be useful?

@0xseph I'll push today/tomorrow
@tsiger Yea, I'm thinking the same thing.
@TylerMoore_YT for info https://t.co/6RUqpOvVMe
Weekend challenge:
Build "Canva for WordPress."
A page builder on top of Gutenberg that a complete beginner could use with zero training.
Me & Fable built a working MVP 🔥
Working title: Gogh. 🎨
🖌️ The page is the canvas. Edit directly on the front end. Drag, resize, rotate, snap to guides. It feels much closer to Canva than a traditional page builder.
🧱 It publishes real Gutenberg blocks. No lock-in. No shortcodes. Open the page in the Block Editor and keep editing.
🎨 It's block theme native. It inherits your fonts, colours and styles from theme.json. Change your site's style variation and every Gogh page updates automatically.
📱 It converts freeform layouts into clean CSS Grid, so pages reflow beautifully on mobile... and the published page ships with zero JavaScript.
✨ Plus undo/redo, shape dividers, section reordering, responsive typography, Media Library support and more.
Built in a weekend.
WordPress + AI is getting slightly ridiculous.
I'm seriously considering releasing it free on https://t.co/BSRuceT9c4 just to see what people build.
Good idea? 👇
@TylerMoore_YT CSS grid, so pretty solid. I'm doing a write up tonite and will also push to github today/tomorrow. I think the approach is pretty interesting.

@Bovelett They don’t work in my experience- folks want authenticity
Been designing with gogh all afternoon and honestly? it's crazy fun. there's something about dragging things around a live page that gutenberg has never given me.
But the coolest thing me & fable built might be the smallest one:
Text resize handles that respect your design system.
Drag a heading's corner to make it bigger — but instead of free-scaling to some random size, it steps through the font sizes you've already set in global styles. small → medium → large → x-large. a little chip shows you which one you're on as you drag.
Canva lets you scale text to anything, and every design ends up with 37 slightly different font sizes. we nearly copied that. then thought: your theme already KNOWS what sizes look good — why fight it?
So you get the canva gesture with the design-system guardrails. design freedom that conforms to your guidelines automatically. beginners literally cannot make it ugly.
Bonus: it saves as gutenberg's native font size attribute — so the size you picked by dragging shows up in the block editor sidebar like you'd set it there. and if you retune what "large" means in the site editor, every page updates itself.
Best of both worlds isn't a compromise. sometimes it's just better than both. 🎨

@natmiletic This is more core'ish 😉
@Aamirfarooq13 Once it's ready (should be this week)
@Aamirfarooq13 It's a WordPress plugin I've built.
@rizaardiyanto Thanks...yea, I'm kinda blown away at what me and Fable cooked up!
Coming next week to the Front-End Editor for Content Teams 👇
A full, searchable audit trail of every content change.
This is just the first step.
From here, I'm building more tools for site managers to review, manage, and oversee content changes, making the plugin far more powerful for teams.
