I just spent 2 hours trying to find this post. By LLMS he means: (L)ots of (L)ittle ut(M)l page(S) and it's about simpler navigation. I had the same idea only later, but did not think it worthy until I saw this (and forgot to bookmark it).

Autoblue v2 is out, now with standard.site support! Your shared posts will now have enhanced link previews. CPTs are now enabled for Autoblue as well. If you have any feedback or run into any issues please reach out!

Autoblue 2.0 is here, with standard.site support

Autoblue 2.0 is out now! This is a big release, and it brings one of the most exciting additions to Autoblue so far: support for publishing your WordPress posts asstandard.site documents on the AT Protocol. standard.site You can learn more about the standard.site protocol on the official announcement from Bluesky. Practically, what it means is […]

standard.site support is coming to Autoblue later today!

Making some improvements to Autoblue over the weekend. I've somewhat neglected it (sorry!) but seeing how many still use and like it gives me a lot of encouragement and motivation to keep working on it. Starting with some bug fixes and CPT support. Feature requests are always welcomed!

I've been trying out Laravel for a few apps this year, and it's so good. The DX is great. But WP is my baby and I can't keep myself away from it.

It's so nice how WordPress just keeps shipping great updates. Loads of improvements in the first two months of the year, and full steam ahead on AI as well.

My main goal: shipping more and shipping faster. Code is no longer the bottleneck it used to be, and while it's a bit scary I'm also enjoying this new reality.

I've been spending time this week next to client projects to building a new super simple time tracker called Tide. Will be launching it soon, aim is to replace Harvest for my personal use.

For context: I've been using Harvest for YEARS, paying for it almost mindlessly. All I really use is time tracking and invoicing, and with the PE acquisition I don't expect it to get any better. I'd also like to add an MCP server, so I can tell my OpenClaw "hey, add 3 hours to project X for task Y"

Weekend project: a minimal Harvest clone with clients, projects and time tracking. I just can't still these days 😂

I haven't been very active on here lately, but I'm planning to change that. I miss having some real interactions on socials. I've been dipping my toes outside of WP and seeing what else is out there, taking my experience from Autoblue and turning it into a social scheduler SaaS.

Everyone is building AI agents right now, and I'm dabbling a bit as well. Is there a clear favorite so far or not really?

I'm playing around with Laravel and it's actually so incredibly well set up for AI-assisted development. There's some really good tools, official packages for almost everything, and with Laravel being extremely idiomatic the AI is really good at implementing it all.

Autoblue 1.0 is out, officially out of beta and now with support for self-hosted PDS instances! 🎊 Next up: improving the comments block

I ran into an issue where my local WordPress installation using Herd wasn't generating thumbnails for PDF files. This is how I fixed it.

And here's the result—a polished file upload UI that looks like it came straight from WordPress core. Another step closer to releasing the Document Hub extension for Better Loop. 🤞🏼

I always always always want my plugins to feel like they belong in WordPress. It's very important to me that they feel like a native extension of WP itself. If that means designing custom icons in the same style for the Document Hub extension, then that's what I'll do 😅

How hard is it to build a loop with multiple filters working together in Better Loop? Watch me design and build a loop for a recipe page in less than two minutes 😎

Trying something new: live demos for Better Loop, showcasing the plugin through a made-up website. Next step is creating a Playground blueprint so you can click around the admin and play with it! betterloopwp.com/demo-magazine/

Demo: Magazine

See how you can use Better Loop to create a dynamic and engaging magazine website straight from the WordPress block editor.

Better Loop 1.2 is out! With a new Buttons filter block, more color options and a custom post template block. I'm experimenting with an "interactive" changelog, with live demos so you can try out all new features right from the changelog: betterloopwp.com/changelog/v1...

Better Loop v1.2.0 has landed with some exciting updates—I’ve added a new filter block, expanded color options, and introduced a custom post template block. In v1.2.0, I’m introducing the Buttons…

For those of you using a filtering plugin (FacetWP, Search & Filter etc), what are some must-haves for you personally? What's something currently missing that you would love to have?

I've been working on the documentation for the different pagination options in Better Loop. Really happy with all the live examples! Check out the infinite scroll docs here to get an idea: betterloopwp.com/docs/infinit...

@nathanwrigley.com Thank you for the plug! Much appreciated 🙏🏼 lots of cool stuff to come as well 😁

I've added a pretty steep launch discount to Better Loop (almost 40% off!). It' also the lowest price it'll ever be. I want to reward early customers for their support. As a bonus, early customers get to shape future updates with your feedback and ideas. I want to build Better Loop for you!

Neat lil' feature coming to Better Loop 1.1.0: link to post. This makes the entire card clickable, rather than just the post title. It's also quite fun to get to create a custom icon 🫨

Hello world! Better Loop is now officially available! ✨ Let your users filter, search, and browse your content effortlessly. I've been working on the docs a lot, as well as a demo video to hopefully give you a good idea of what Better Loop can do for you. betterloopwp.com

I've been writing a lot of documentation for Better Loop, and playing around with the ACF and WooCommerce integrations. It's shaping up great. betterloopwp.com/docs/
