@famousish I'll take a blue one with a cool graphic depciting the capital_P_dangit function. Take. My. Moneys.

Just submitted my next #WordPress plugin for review and I'm super excited for this one.

Great timing too! The submission queue is the lowest I think I've ever seen it. Great job by the plugin review team! 🙌

@mikemcalister Happy birthday dude!

Having some fun checking out some of the projects from Automattic's Radical Speed Month. I can't stop creating Wapuu's with https://t.co/i3oX92V85G

@famousish That'd be pretty slick! I recently pushed some changes to the Plugin Directory that adds the ability to replace media and has revisions. If that's useful for your project, here's the source code -- https://t.co/9KzSJWalc9

@thekevingeary I would be curious to know why? I’m moving away from it on my primary enterprise project.

I both love and hate it, depends on what I’m building with. For WordPress, no thanks. For React, plenty of benefits.

Yesterday I pushed version 1.1.0 of Block Finder, a simple dashboard widget to help find blocks throughout your sites content, templates and patterns.

[Troy Chaplin @troychaplin]

Just finished updating my Block Finder plugin to update how it fetches data, and now I'm putting some thought into new features for this release.

It's a pretty simple plugin. Other than an approach to finding blocks across templates, I'm at a loss.

@neke989 @PluginJam_WP Turn up the weird on plugins? This sounds like something that @famousish would love!

[Troy Chaplin @troychaplin]

Let's go!!

It's okay if you want to call it a comeback.

[Troy Chaplin @troychaplin]

Long weekends are for beers and barbecues with family and friends. Oh, and pushing code.

[Troy Chaplin @troychaplin]

@VivaLaSeth I flipped over to sonnet at the time as I was close to wrapping up. At the time I had fed Claude the Gutenberg repo to see if there were proper support for what I was doing. Worked like a charm!

[Troy Chaplin @troychaplin]

Oh no... The dynamite actually went boom!!

[Troy Chaplin @troychaplin]

Doing a thing.

[Troy Chaplin @troychaplin]

@apeatling @briancoords Absolutely! You can’t innovate if your head down in legacy all day. Right now we’re still in that honeymoon phase where everything is new and shiny.

[Troy Chaplin @troychaplin]

Had some new feature ideas while driving home that I'm excited to add.

- Post status filter
- WP-CLI command
- Most used blocks on initial load

@williamsba Love how they state they are updating the price to match what modern marketing teams need. They need better tools for lower prices, not continual price increases because companies are adding AI features that might not even be useful or wanted. The cash grab is real.

@rwkyyy @thekevingeary Right. Have you worked in a camp site before? Sure, I can do a bit more with CSS, but I can’t install plugins.

Asked about this last year, as I wanted to use stuff like Block Visibility, The Icon Block, or Advanced Query Loop but no go.

Lots of room for improvement here!

[Troy Chaplin @troychaplin]

@rwkyyy @thekevingeary Such as? I have a couple key thing ms to setup, mainly speakers and schedule once the call closes.

Genuinely curious on where I can improve. First time leading the web team. And by team I mean me, myself and I.

[Troy Chaplin @troychaplin]

Apparently I wasn't finished. Just pushed v1.2.0 which includes better support for multiste, adding a network settings page to configure media file revisions consistently across a network.

https://t.co/t4cKgSMq5f

[Troy Chaplin @troychaplin]

The first is done. Smart Media Replacement v1.1.1 is now available.

New features include:

- Replacing media directly in the block editor
- Media file versioning
- Restoring / downloading revisions
- Revisions configurable per file types
- And more...
