Ripped off a bandaid today. Finally got around to properly tagging all PHPNomad packages, and setting all of them up in Packagist. Currently at 40 repositories, so I needed to get ahead of this before it got out of hand.

Proposed New Facade Pattern That Supports Multiple Containers
Current Implementation PHPNomad currently uses a Facade pattern implemented through abstract classes to provide static access to services. Facades serve two primary purposes: The current implementation requires: Challenges Architectural Limitations Impact on PHPNomad’s Core Philosophy The current Facade implementation conflicts with PHPNomad’s goal of writing truly portable code. By relying on global state and single container context, we limit the ability for code to be truly “nomadic” and run anywhere. Proposed Solution New Facade Pattern Instead of using abstract classes and global state, we propose a new pattern that: Implementation Details class LoggerFacade { use WithFacadeCapability; protected static function getRequiredType():…

PHPNomad As An MVC Framework
So PHPNomad can run as an MVC framework now. That’s neat. I needed a way to make Siren run outside of WordPress.

I Contributed To Discussion: Bring post formats to block themes for Gutenberg
Original I know this is a long conversation, but want to add into this that the entire reason why I’m using post formats is because it is the only way to create different types of content on a website using the mobile app. I use my entire site as a central hub, and that means that I’m posting everything through that first. Tweets, videos, blog posts, all of it. This means that I’m frequently using the mobile app to publish. If it were possible to make custom post types display in the app, I’d probably be more open to using…
