I’m building a headless WordPress website with wpgraphql (WP Graph QL)
Most of my web development work is done through WordPress. I’ve built hundreds of little WordPress plugins, and dozens of scratch-made sites. At this point, I’ve modified nearly every corner of WordPress at some point since I started using it in 2009.
Over the years, all of my authenticity has found itself on social media instead of my website. I think that sucks. Why should Elon freaking Musk get the most authentic version of me? Mark Zuckerburg? Or anyone else for that matter? Screw that noise. I’m publishing stuff on my website first.
My new site turns my personal website into a central hub, making it possible to view content I’ve published across the web. I’m so excited to finally have it up and running.
I had one of my clients come to me with a fun challenge. They wanted to be able to “flag” a post, and have that flag automatically disappear on the site after a certain period of time. This post explores how I solved that problem for them.
I built a WordPress plugin for an agency that integrates a third party events API with WordPress. This plugin loads fast, and reduces the number of requests. This post talks about how I approached this small project.

With limited documentation and layers of custom features, I took on the challenge to conduct a comprehensive audit of a WordPress site, paving the way for a seamless redesign.

Instead of doing that, I’m going to build a REST based data source specifically for Mastodon, since it suits […]
