@austinginder EmDash's plugin manifest approach is similar to what you did with your Minnow CMS, correct? Thoughts about EmDash so far? I've dabbled in Astro and love it. Considering switching some work to Astro over WordPress.

MIT vs GPL licensed... now go. EmDash is the right kind of open source competition which WordPress was sorely missing. We need more open source solutions powering all of the things user actually use.

@austinginder I don't post much on X, but I had to come here to give you kudos after reading what you did. You are the man, Austin!

Backdoor was planted in 30+ WordPress plugins from Essential Plugin (formerly WP Online Support). If you have any of their plugins installed be sure to patch them and check if your wp-config.php was compromised. anchor.host/someone-bought…

@austinginder Guessing 1 - 2 years. M5 Mac Mini's are beasts. TurboQuant and similar tech will shrink the existing requirements. A lot of effort in this direction. Can't wait!

How many years do you think it will take hardware and AI innovation to catch up for local use? Like how long will it be before $1000 laptops can run AI models Opus 4.6 levels or better?

@LocalSEO_Guy This looks amazing. Would love to see it.

Built a 240-point Google Business Profile audit tool. It checks everything from citations to AI visibility to competitor threats and shows you exactly how much revenue you're leaving on the table. Tested on 43 GBPs so far. 80% accuracy and improving every day. Launching next week. Want free early access? Drop a comment or DM me.

@austinginder Nice looking and so useful! You're right, custom coding apps for your specific workflows will become common. I just vibe-coded a Streamlit app to replace 4 n8n workflows into 1 streamlined app. Now I'm wondering what other processes I can offload from WP or whatever to an app.

I wrote a blog post in markdown using Beckon, a tool I made this week, before having a way to publish it. With AI I just figured I'll just add features as I need them. Well this morning I have post to WordPress working. Gemini is crazy good.

@brianleejackson @_perfmatters I think so. A while back I was deep into css optimizing and I felt something like that was missing. I can't remember what it was, but this feels like that. If I recall it, I'll ping you.

@tryfletch @_perfmatters It would be for entire stylesheets. Anything that is excluded from our parser (for different reasons), anything you manually exclude, or even dynamic stylesheets from pagebuilders/themes.

Version 2.4.8 of @_perfmatters is live! - Added built-in stylesheet exclusion for Bricks layer stylesheets. - Adjusted emoji_svg_url filter to only return false outside the admin dashboard. - Updated early hint attribute check to include sizes and media attributes. ⚡ - Updated delay JS quick exclusion for Bricks to include splide. - Updated delay JS quick exclusion for CookieYes to be more compatible. - Updated CSS parsing library to the latest version (9.0.0). New features, deprecation removals, and bug fixes. - Updated deprecated function in CSS class to use current method. - Updated minification library to the latest version (1.3.75). - Updated minimum PHP version requirement to 7.2. - Updated our staging site license key exception list with additional formats (@Pressable *.mystagingwebsite.com and stg.*). 🔑 perfmatters.io/docs/changelog/

@alexjvasquez I'll check it out. Been using the Wispr Flow free plan, which is pretty good. Every once in a while I hit my weekly cap, but I should be using it even more. If this works well, could be a game changer.

Whispering is a pretty rad tool for voice dictation. It can process your data with a service like OpenAI Whisper or several other AI tools and put the contents in your clipboard. Quicker than typing things out. I've been super happy with it github.com/epicenter-md/e… -

@brianleejackson @_perfmatters I believe so. Would this be a use case?: I have an element that I can't get its css into the Used CSS, so I slap it into that field to manually force that inline.

@tryfletch @_perfmatters Correct, our parser just needs to catch up with this last Bricks change, and then they would disappear again. Curious, would you be interested in a separate field where you could inline specified CSS? Similiar to individual Delay JS, but for CSS. Gathering feedback. 📝

@brianleejackson @_perfmatters Gotcha. That's good news. So if/once the parser can handle layers, those extra css stylesheets will go away. In the meantime, I preload them to avoid render-block. So glad to hear this.

@tryfletch @_perfmatters Using our dynamic preload feature would be one workaround at the moment. #dynamic-preloads" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">perfmatters.io/docs/preload/#… But yes, we're hoping to get this fixed so that it isn't necessary. Or rather, once the library is upated it should parse these OK again.

@brianleejackson @_perfmatters I could try disabling the layer feature, but Bricks doesn't recommend that.

@brianleejackson @_perfmatters Excluding Bricks layer stylesheets - is this necessary? It seems then there will be a few render-blocking stylesheets per page. I do Unused CSS + Delay, but those layer stylesheets render-block, so I've preloaded them (not ideal?). Thoughts?

@alexjvasquez Awesome use case! Giving me ideas.

A simple project estimation calculator, built within Claude in just a few minutes. claude.ai/public/artifac… - Not something built for prime time, but small tools like this can be mocked up and shipped quickly.

@AnthropicAI again deploying insanely useful stuff. The tools they build for knowledge workers are top tier.

@austinginder @kinsta My 2 sites are back up for now.

@tryfletch @kinsta From what I can tell all of the web servers are healthy (SSH works). Which makes it even more annoying for a Cloudflare outage to take everything offline.

@kinsta They jinxed it! 1 hour later, and ALL SITES ARE DOWN. 🤣

@austinginder @kinsta I was about to ping you when I discovered it was all of Kinsta! I knew it was bad when your site was down, too.

@johnrushx bolt.diy was oTToDev, a Bolt fork. I've been watching the developer on Youtube, and he's killing it along with his community. Bolt decided to partner with him and make it the official open source version of Bolt.

12. Aaaaaand, the first open source and free AI IDE (fork of bolt) Pricing for AI Coders (per month): bolt $20 cursor $20 windsurf $15, claude $20 chatgpt $20 replit agent $25. v0 $20 devin $500. bolt.diy $0

I keep testing all new AI IDEs cuz I plan to build & launch 5 more SaaS tools next year. Today is the Biggest day of the year! > Devin is finally live! > Replit is out of beta > ChatGPT canvas for coding > Windsurf, Copilot, Lovable, SuperXyz, Wrapifai and more Updates 🧵 :

So many ways to build apps. And the AI revolution has just begun.

Best LLM benchmark site I've seen: lmbenchmarks.com @tavlean #llm #ai

This is crazy, we're so cooked. HeyGen 3.0 dropped new AI avatars that look real. The viseme morphing appears slightly slow, but 99% of people won’t notice its AI-generated content.

Claude.ai out with an upgraded 3.5 Sonnet, leapfrogging other models once again. Exciting new feature: "Computer Use" - capable of interacting with tools that can manipulate a computer desktop environment. anthropic.com/news/3-5-model…
