Who’s gonna step in and organize the future of WordPress dot org? How can we as a community actually…initiate something like that? I fear a lack of unity in a time where I think we really need it most.

Please WordPress people – keep custom logic that is not theme-specific out of your themes. It really matters as that project grows.
Even if you dump it in a single file plugin, that’s way better. Pretend its’ functions.php, I don’t care – just keep it out of the theme 🙏🙏🙏

I’m on a mission to get social media off of my phone, but I still want to be able to publish content. I don’t want to consume on my phone though.
I think if I can get a Twitter cross poster working reliably, my site plus the WordPress app can get me there.

Finding myself increasingly interested in updating my site so that it maps post formats to post types. So if you set a post format, it saves it as a mapped post type.
I think that would give me all of the benefits of multiple post types, but still make it possible to use post types in the mobile app. This would make it a lot easier to filter post types since you don’t have to use a tax query.

I know headless can be SEO optimized, but in my experience, WordPress makes it effortless, comparatively speaking.

So crazy idea – what if #WordPress split up into flavors, kinda like how Linux has? Is there any reason why something like that is actually a good idea vs backcompat plugins like Classic Editor?
Just pondering out loud. Don’t read into this as something more than musings.

Hey. You. It’s going to be okay.
In the worst case scenario, WordPress won’t just evaporate overnight, and probably won’t at all. You will have time to pivot if you need to.
We’re a smart, scrappy, and highly resourceful bunch.
Close socials. This isn’t good for any of us.

A possible alternative solution for those sites hosted at WP Engine. It might be possible to replicate the updater on the client side.
It’s 4AM where the author’s at. If you’re awake and looking, maybe try it? Contribute some feedback?
