This is a big deal for headless WordPress. I’m already using something that handles this on my site now, but something supported and maintained by a company like Automattic is significant.

I think I’d really benefit from some kind of media service that handles the photos and videos on my WordPress site. I need a more-reliable way to upload videos that auto-converts the videos, optimizes them, serves them, organizes them, and all of that fancy stuff. WordPress works, but it’s never really been a great media tool. Hmm.

I just wrote up the documentation for Underpin’s Array Helper methods and the Array Processor. I’ll probably work on the String helper methods next. But first, I’m going to get some shut-eye. So tired.

I haven’t actually used WP-env yet but it sounds promising. Anyone else using it for local WordPress development now?

I finished up the documentation that instructs people how to install Underpin using WordPress. I frequently get asked how to set up Composer in a WordPress install, so I took some time to add details on how to do that, too. Hoping this helps people get started.

Just wrote a ton of documentation on Underpin’s registry/collections API, full of tons of examples with sample code and everything. Hoping I can add to this next week sometime.

I’m finally dipping my toes into an auto-poster setup using the Share on Mastodon plugin:

Fingers crossed that this works as-expected, although I’m sure I’ll end up with some formatting oddities in the short-term. It’ll be worth it, though!

I’m Committing to Better Standards for Underpin
I want to make Underpin something that I can share with others better, and something that others feel comfortable with using. And that starts with taking ownership of the code, stabilizing it, and documenting it.
