I enoy building design systems, component libraries, and with #WordPress, but they don't always mix well. Been working on an addon for @storybook.js.org that generates files for a component library and a block theme. Super experimental! github.com/troychaplin/...

Even after waking up sick my wife still manages to kick ass on an amazing braised short rib and pasta bday meal! I’m a lucky guy!

As the first wave of beta testing comes to a close for Miles and the next wave begins here is a selection of hero groups I created. Some were done very early in beta, but still very impressive. I've watched it evolve each day. Andy Peatling is putting in "extra Miles" on this one! bymiles.ai

My son, who’s home sick from school today painted me this masterpiece “Focused on word daddy” Not clear what nonsense I am muttering here. Thankfully he didn’t write any of the bad words that might slip out.

I had planned on writing a year in review post, but got sidetracked with several other projects. Instead, I decided to write Kicking off 2026. And even that was published later than I planned. Too many fun projects taking up my time! troychaplin.ca/2026/02/kick...

Kicking Off 2026 - Troy Chaplin

2026 is moving fast! From Block Accessibility 3.0 and Priority Plus Nav to a "mystery" world-building project, my January commit history is green.

Having the chance to beta test Miles these last couple of weeks has been an enjoyable experience. Last night I activated my latest creation on my site, a theme named Cyberpunk Ramen Arcade. troychaplin.ca I'm excited to see what more people are going to build once Miles is ready for prime time!

When someone provides the ultimate guide to being weird with the insanely impressive Miles site building AI agent, you just do as suggested. Miles, I'm here for it too! Current status: getting unhinged with the Cyberpunk Ramen Aracde block theme.

Just released my 6th #WordPress plugin. Particularly proud of this one, it fits a very good purpose, and it's the 1st full block plugin I've released. Check out ReadEase: Test Resizer and gives users an easy to use way to resize text in your block theme! wordpress.org/plugins/read...

ReadEase: Text Resizer

Had fun with this one, and have a few ideas for new features! Wonder what other blocks or tools I can create for under the ReadEase name to support accessibility?
