    So, our solar system is basically a solar panel and a charge controller right now. Panels charge the camper battery, which charges our two Jackerys.

    I’ll upgrade the system later, but for now, this is what we have to-do when we want to run the microwave 😝

    If I set WP Dev Academy up for an annual membership right now, would you buy in? (Currently there is only one course, but there will be more in coming months)

    I would make the price inexpensive and you could lock yourself in at a lower rate.

    I’m excited about the widgets UI, not because I can use blocks in widgets, but because I now know that someday, I will never have to ever write a widget again. 🤣

    This marks a really fast death-knell for the widget loader. It had a short run.
