My Responsive Navigation Block Plugin is out in the wild. Some quick work arounds for problems we're actively working to solve in WordPress Core. youtube.com/watch?v=R5kzAa…

had a great chat with @get_dave about some of the interesting work shaping up for WordPress.

@tommyvedvik @richtabor I absolutely see the use case you describe. This hallway hangout will probably explain the "why" better than I can here on Twitter make.wordpress.org/themes/2024/01…

@get_dave @richtabor Love it, but it also shows why blocks like the new grid needs responsive controls if you want a different grid layout on tablet/mobile than desktop others than just "stacking" the cols.

I spoke with @richtabor about what’s coming next in the WordPress Editor (Gutenberg). We cover 5 features that are seeing a lot of progress - please check out “Section Specific Styles” which I think will be a game changer: youtube.com/watch?v=5sdKKE…

A nice 5-minute showcase of the upcoming WordPress 6.2 release from Gutenberg contributor @get_dave. youtube.com/watch?v=PKcMhS…

@chriscoyier That looks good to me. If you're really stuck then you could put a `debugger` in here which (if memory serves) is where Gutenberg terms which transforms are valid: #L126" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/WordPress/gute… You'll want to conditionalise it by your block name else it will fire too many times.

#WordPress Gutenberg peeps… I have a custom code block, and I’d like to have a transform for it. I looks right to me? But doesn’t show up. How do you debug that?

@tallhat Thanks!

@get_dave I'll second the guild - can't get much more central

Looking for some zero-commitment co-working space in #Bath this Wednesday. Central location required. Any pointers appreciated.

@jimbomorrison @jamesinyk @dbsdigital Oh cheers Jim. I'll deffo consider that next time. Much appreciated!

@adamskip77 You don't know me at all Adam! I'm in BTP. I am smashing Wifi. I have bought several beverages (expensed of course!) ;)

@get_dave can just imagine you sat in Colonia & Smalls all day, smashing their WiFi to pieces and not even buying a coffee #zerocommitment

@brucel Anything wp admin related you can ignore as only you will see this when logged in. Wp embed can be async. Let me know if you have any other issues.
