@photomatt @PadraigOraghail Custom fields, post types, and taxonomies should be core. Block Editor needs responsive controls, like, yesterday. Certain blocks, like the button, need state controls (hover, focus, etc.). That's just for starters.

@PadraigOraghail I know a few. :) What are some things you'd like me to fix? Great hosting also removes 99% of issues, many don't realize that.

What developer in the old fashioned sense of the word actually like working on WP sites? Plugin soup, its like the 80s car with fat wheels and a loud exhaust and people think their car is cool. 🤢🤮

@WPTutz Very cool! Would be nice to start in full color, then add the dark overlay just before the content fades in.

Having some fun with AI - Nano Banana 2 and Seedance 2 to create a custom, animated hero section, with a subtle animation to finish it off. I'd say it adds a little more 'wow' to the site without adding massive files!

@TFCARoyals our girl loves her reading buddies.

TFCA values developing leaders, students with servant hearts and opportunities for students to mentor and encourage one another. A perfect example of this is our 5th graders serving as reading buddies for our kindergartners!

@sti @aakashgupta They actually can be huge, and it's the main reason I install CleanMyMac on every Mac I own.

@aakashgupta The application bundle is read-only. Any data files or cache files created by the application are written to $HOME/Library/Application Support (or Cache) directory. There is nothing that cleans them up. But I guess usually those files are not huge.

Let me explain exactly why Apple still uses drag-to-install in 2026, because the joke here accidentally proves Apple right. A macOS .app is a single self-contained folder disguised as a file. Every dependency, every framework, every resource lives inside it. Drag it to Applications, it works. Drag it to Trash, it's gone. No registry entries. No leftover DLLs. No uninstaller that misses half the files. Windows installers scatter fragments across Program Files, AppData, the registry, system32, and a dozen temp directories. Uninstalling a Windows app is an archaeological dig. Five years later you're still finding config files from software you forgot you owned. Linux is worse. Dependency hell is so common they named it. Entire package managers exist to solve the problem of "I installed something and now nothing else works." Flatpak and Snap were invented specifically to copy what macOS bundles already did natively. The macOS bundle architecture came from NeXTSTEP in 1989. Steve Jobs brought it to OS X in 2001. The core design hasn't changed because the core design was correct. An app is a folder. Installation is a copy. Removal is a delete. Three operations that map perfectly to how humans already think about files. The drag-to-install window with the arrow isn't lazy UX. It's the entire thesis of the system made visible. You are literally just moving a folder. There is no "installation" step because there's nothing to install. The app is already complete. Every other OS eventually tried to get here. Windows got MSIX. Linux got Flatpak. Mobile figured it out from day one because phones shipped after Apple proved the model. The pattern everyone else converged toward is the pattern this tweet is calling outdated. The funniest part: the app being dragged in that screenshot is Claude. An AI that can write code, analyze documents, and reason about complex systems. And the most advanced step in getting it onto your machine is holding down a mouse button and moving your wrist two inches to the right. That's not a design failure. That's a 37-year-old architecture so good that the most sophisticated software on earth still ships inside it.

@pootlepress @automattic Is it a job posting for a new CEO?

Just seen a thing that has been built in @automattic , can’t talk about it yet , but it’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I mean, you do it too @photomatt

@Casey I think it's contextual. In the south, there's a bunch of circumstances, including yours. Example: after the fight... "good fight, buddy."

there are only two circumstances wherein a grown man should call another grown man 'buddy'; 1. if you want to fight 2. if you want to condescend, before you fight

@wesbos I’ve been holding off for series 2.

Replacing every cloth in my home with Apple polishing cloths

@UDCincyFan you're crazy.

Let’s compare the Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Dodgers. Call me crazy. - 1B: Sal Stewart / Spencer Steer > Freddie Freeman (Dodgers) The combo gives flexibility, defense, and emerging pop—still edges out the Dodgers' single (albeit elite) option. - 2B: Matt McLain > Hyeseong Kim / Tommy Edman (McLain's star potential crushes the Dodgers' depth pieces) - 3B: Ke'Bryan Hayes > Max Muncy (Hayes' glove is elite; Muncy's power is solid but declining) - SS: Elly De La Cruz > Mookie Betts (if Betts is at SS—his versatility is unreal, but Elly's tools are electric) - C: Tyler Stephenson > Will Smith (Stephenson's framing and bat edge out Smith's production) - LF: JJ Bleday > Teoscar Hernández (Bleday's breakout potential > Teoscar's power) - CF: TJ Friedl > Andy Pages (Friedl's speed/defense > Pages' emerging bat) - RF: Noelvi Marte > Kyle Tucker (Marte's upside in RF > Tucker's elite hitting in the outfield) - DH: Eugenio Suárez > Shohei Ohtani (Suárez's pure power as DH > Ohtani still rehabbing to full two-way duty)

Which thumbnail are you most likely to click on? Video is already live and I'm A/B testing, but direct feedback would be dope. For context, this is a video about quitting sugar for 30 days

@thekevingeary @MarkJSzymanski EtchCMS please and thank you.

@MarkJSzymanski I think WordPress might have 24 to 36 more months of true relevance. But it’s not because of AI. Unless we see mass adoption of etch.

I'm not saying I agree with this. And I'm aware this is a post on X, borderline rage bait. However, it would be super productive if more people saw a claim like this and actually gave it the time of day, rather than getting emotional and immediately dismissing it as completely impossible. Last time I checked, the world is moving pretty fucking fast. Everyone has to evolve. No one is immune.

Reminder: tweet about what you "one-shotted" today with AI.

@Bengals Tanner Hudson

Ges who.

@JimDayTV The Reds spent money!

So this bear is poking his head out of hibernation…anything going on?

@brannonmc Yay! A church site that doesn't use Montserrat (or similar)! Great work.

This past fall and Christmas break I put together a new brand for Redeemer East Side in NYC. Today their new site went up. Really happy with the way the fonts and colors work, based on the colors on a mural in the lobby. redeemeres.com

@ugmonk maybe not "analog" per se, but not streaming/online.

@ugmonk I just ordered a digital audio player (iPod knockoff) and have been re-ripping my music collection as FLAC to put on it.

I keep hearing people say "2026 is the Year of Analog" And I'm certainly not mad about it... Since we sell an entire ecosystem of Analog tools 🙌

@WPTutz When the market share is taking a nose dive.

When did beta releases become production ready? Beta means it is still actively being developed and will usually contain bugs, errors and things that may break.

@steveschoger @adamwathan @adamwathan domain purchase tweet, now this.

Working on something new with @adamwathan. The last time I was this excited about a project is when we launched Refactoring UI.
