I was thinking the same. Leverage and trust as a mechanism of "sunk cost" on both parties.

1000% this. The state of native form inputs on the web platform is dismal, truly. Particularly on mobile.

I 100% agree with you here. Clients have an awful time working with Gutenberg.

While the editor UX continues to get more convoluted, so too does the DX. PHP and React interfaces grow further apart in their capabilities and it's really just outrageous to have to master so many things to create a simple block in the editor.

It's really just not worth the effort.

I am bearish and just waiting for someone to figure out a solid middle ground between a drag-and-drop pagebuilder + content-as-data. Gutenberg ain't it.

Builder.io looks promising?

The amount of time I spend in a specificity war between theme styles and wp core's ever-changing sheets is far too much!

The block library stylesheet is awful, and there is also no interface to interact with it directly. Instead we get to edit a json file which gives us access to a few dozen properties and deal with that.

Not to mention the incomplete javascript and PHP interfaces which seem to be developed by two battling teams... :(

Totally. Some old guy from legal demanded the feature I bet.

Yoo thanks! That is indeed what I was looking for.

(I am pretty bad at finding things after a long days work of development)

I know this might seem random and a bit of a big ask, but would you consider publishing some of your website's front-end bits on your github, too? It's a really nice job and seems highly optimized and I am curious about how it was made and delivered.

In other words, kudos?

There is a video at the top of the docs, but I agree it should be featured on the landing page

Dignity and resolve to their mission statement are what prevent it.

Not exactly a strong hand to bet on, but it's better than nothing.

It says "Check back on August 1, 2022 for the public launch!".

So, perhaps we shall do just that

- atlas space

- oneupweb

- salamander

- efulfillment

- Healthbridge

to name a few off the top of my head

You're not wrong about that. The winters can be pretty long. It's snowing as I type

Thank you for taking the time to call these people out (or at least asking them explain themselves).

Calmly thinking through ones prejudices, even if only to defend them, is an easy way to erase them.

Traverse City is becoming very techy. Over the course of the pandemic I have witnessed a lot of folks coming in from Chicago, etc, to work remotely, or to do tech work for one of the decent web/it/finance/insurance/medical companies here.

P.S. we are hiring web dev and analytics/data engineer if you know anyone in the area!

The other option, which obviously doesn't work for mega-corporate media, is independent, direct support (patreon, etc). Most of my favorite modern content is created in this way, and is entirely free to download and distribute - contribution is entirely optional.

problem is that greedy media moguls want to get paid for a piece of content forever, instead of just raising enough money to cover the labor and advertising, give stakeholders some profit, and move on, so they cannot exist this way.

That is their problem though :)

That's definitely good; there are hidden immoralities in every transaction and it is in the interest of all of us to be more aware of them.

Hah yes, this is true. Especially on Android.

Hoping Apple will adopt the PWA spec eventually so this becomes even more true

I agree with you there. PWAs are nice because they do both things well.

It really doesn't matter how you rationalize it either, within the frame of capital everything is immoral

I'm okay with that. The business is unfair to those in it, particularly at the lower end, and also unfair to its consumers. It is not the job of consumers to fix or perpetuate that system.

acquiring currency requires effort. Considerable effort, for some. One can click on a torrent link way faster than they can earn $3

Plus, this rental will not be available in all locales, for every video, etc

I like having the option of an app. Progressive web apps are really neato

Thank you for the reply, I was kindof expecting that this would play out as such. I am very excited for the future of browsers and web protocols, but some of them are so exclusive and heavy-handed by Google that I worry.

Google needs to continue their developer relations efforts. I think they want to be on the same team as "us", from a technology perspective. Perhaps if only for the sake of adoption.

Last I checked, this feature is paywalled behind specific certificate authorities.

Any news on that?

The Ferengi Rules of Aquisition have something for this one.

#218: "Sometimes what you get free costs entirely too much".

> It'd be great if Github could allow read/write permission grants on a per-repo basis. Maybe they do already!

They totally do. Shopify's Github integration works this way, and it is fantastic!

Disagree. Reddit is not a safe place for political movements, minority groups, etc, for this reason

People have complained about the poor quality of Reddit search for as long as it has existed.

Aside from that, certainly, a site with its own indexing and awareness of its own internal structure can provide a better search experience than a third-party.

You can still get improvements in some scenarios with mutagen on WSL2
