I've been playing around with making the site faster - which is un-indieweb, but I like the idea of using the minimum amount of resources required
#

nothing un-indieweb about having an optimized site
#
GWG
[tw2113_Slack_]: Agreed
#
GWG
I don't mind looking for optimization opportunities

BillBennett
One way to optimise is loading fewer files, which includes css. The indieweb CSS file is 73KB, not much when pages are 1MB or more, but, I counted three different indieweb CSS files and Pagespeed says they are unused on most pages.

i could see a get_option check or whatever for the rel me settings, and if not set or set to a value that says “not in use” don’t enqueue at that point
#
GWG
[tw2113_Slack_]: That's what I was thinking I could try. It might work on some pages

headdesks over a Gutenberg block issue that haunted me since Friday.

helps to pass all your attributes to the ServerSideRender

I'd be quite happy to see WordPress fork into Gutenberg and non-Gutenberg versions. There's an unofficial classicpress alternative, but it lives outside the Automattic embrace
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
i hate to admit it, but to certain degrees I am having fun making working blocks

I can see that it's good for some purposes. Not mine though.
