# 01:05 GWG_ There are always a lot more people in this room than are chatting [asuh] joined the channel
# 02:10 GWG_ [asuh]: Slowly. Sorry for the delay I was eating # 02:11 [asuh] You’re a busy fella with all these plugins you’re juggling [Michael_Beckwit joined the channel
# 02:14 GWG_ But I've set this goal of finishing my current project and using it to do a trip log of my trip to IWC B2 # 02:14 [Michael_Beckwit i passively hope GWG somehow wins the lottery so he doesn’t have to work a dayjob and can just focus on the tools all day 😛 # 02:14 GWG_ [Michael_Beckwit: That would be interesting # 02:15 GWG_ I'm not sure I'm good enough of a programmer to do it professionally # 02:15 [asuh] I’ve chatted with one or two PHP devs about lending a hand but it’s tough to persuade people to give time even if they agree with movement itself # 02:17 GWG_ [asuh]: I'm just afraid I'll have to dive more into JS. # 02:17 [asuh] It’s inevitable that JS or React is in your future for these plugins # 02:19 [Michael_Beckwit i’ve heard not necessarily the best things about the react community # 02:19 [Michael_Beckwit but i did put myself through a reach intro course on laracasts yesterday, so i at least have some context # 02:19 [asuh] Yes, lots of hot drama in 2019, in unfortunate ways # 02:21 [asuh] i haven’t really looked much but I should familiarize myself with Gutenberg at the very least # 02:21 [asuh] Mostly played with it as an editor, rather than from dev perspective # 02:28 GWG_ [asuh]: I cannot conceptualize how mf2 works as a block # 02:29 [asuh] If I ever get far enough to visualize what it takes to get into more Gutenberg Dev, I’ll give feedback at the very least # 02:33 GWG_ I am looking for a location provider other than Compass to put in. I think I should have at least one alternative # 02:34 [asuh] Depending on what Gutenberg is doing, there’s potentially a moderate amount of back-end type work within React already. # 02:39 [Michael_Beckwit meanwhile i’m looking at the idea of a webmention block, because i will keep forgetting what classes/markup are needed, when i just wanna paste a link # 02:44 [Michael_Beckwit basically just the link/embed with the in-reply-to classes and whatnot # 02:45 [Michael_Beckwit plus it’d be simple enough likely to make me feel accomplished in gutenberg creation # 02:46 [Michael_Beckwit definitely one way to think of it # 02:46 [Michael_Beckwit i haven’t started anything, it’s just in germination stages at best # 02:53 [asuh] WordPress 5.3 buttons feel like a UX regression, that’s too bad. I don’t mind the style of a transparent background with colored borders and text, but the new button style isn’t distinguished enough from form elements. # 02:53 [Michael_Beckwit the UI style changes were done for accessibility purposes, in case you weren’t aware # 02:54 [Michael_Beckwit if you were, then i lack further comment and i’m sure they’d appreciate feedback on the topic # 02:55 [asuh] Thanks, I know I’m missing context here so I have some reading to do # 03:02 [Michael_Beckwit unsure at the moment # 03:08 [asuh] I haven’t planned personal projects with WordPress lately. Work has me buried in headless Craft CMS/API and Gatsby or React. # 03:09 [asuh] Hoping to present Indieweb internally at the next dev meeting I speak at in a month # 03:10 [asuh] I plan to demo the WP IW plugins as inspiration # 03:39 [asuh] Here’s my update to version 5.3 impression about buttons. gRegorLove, [LewisCowles], [jgmac1106], [mapkyca], [snarfed], Jacket, chrisaldrich, [Rose], Raffaele, maxwelljoslyn, ssDiscord[m], mpocDiscord[m] and [KevinMarks] joined the channel
