    Underpin’s theme loader implements a middleware pattern. I’m coming to realize just how badly WordPress scripts benefit from this pattern.

    I have a script that does a lot of prep work in my nearly headless theme, and it REALLY cleans it up.

    The new version of Alpine COMPLETELY changes how I build this nearly headless method – and it’s WAY better.

    Really excited about the upgrades in the new @Alpine_JS

    I’ve built a few sites using the nearly headless method, but it’s been specific to my needs. To make this something that’s truly replicate-able (and teach-able), I have to abstract the code.

    So, with that, I’d like to introduce you to Nicholas.
    https://t.co/nRWlAw3amA Nicholas is a little extend-able library that helps with one of the key components of my nearly headless approach to building websites – caching. Really, the entire approach revolves around this.

    What would you most want me to talk about in a podcast? Looking to understand what people are most interested in hearing from my perspective.
