@jeffr0 @famousish @bymilesai @kinsta Damn it, I always type build when I mean built. It's like my kryptonite...

@jeffr0 @famousish Yes sir. Build with #WordPress, the Interactivity API, with big assists from Claude Code, @bymilesai crushed the theme design, and a big shout out to @kinsta for hosting!

Today I launched something I couldn't be more proud of. Veils of Fate: Tales of Eldermoor, a browser-based RPG built around choice, consequence, and a world I've been dying to share with you! Play it free now veilsoffate.com

@jamesckemp Oh that nearly drove me mad this morning trying to dive into something very specific. I just wanted to do the dishes and come back with a coffee and a pile of reading materials.

Anyone else noticing Claude's reluctance to initiate web searches recently, without being explicitly asked to do so?

@famousish I love having it give me some great name. The new plugin I am building is now called Comma Sense, I never would have came up with that on my own.

I'm working on a new app and Claude coined a term that I really like, personal knowledge sovereignty.

@thatmitchcanter I've been enjoying the extra 90 min this week with the kids off for March break. The return to 6am next week is gonna be brutal!

My son has 6AM shifts at his job and it's -killing- me having to get up early, especially when I'm very much a "up at 7:30 after going to bed at midnight" kind of person. It's not like i'm losing much sleep but maaaaaaan the interruption is wrecking me. I need coffee lol

@wesbos @RhysSullivan This is the greatest tweet I have seen all week. Maybe all month.

@RhysSullivan Wanna start a podcast called two dudes between the nuts

the anti ai people are nuts the pro ai people are nuts luckily im right in the sweet spot

@famousish Haters everywhere, keep kicking ass with what you're doing. I worried that doing a live stream about work that was 100% AI driven it would appear as though I wasn't also a knowledgeable developer. Then I remembered that beyond my family I don't care what people think of me.

This is nothing personal against anyone but starting today I'm ignoring all AI negativity on X. I'm all in on AI and every time I share something I'm excited about I don't want to hear why what I'm doing is [insert negative thing here]. I know that AI is going to transform my life (more than it already has) and I couldn't be more excited, more excited than I've been in years.

I connected my iPhone to the big HomePod in the basement, cranked it up, sat on the couch with my daughter and started singing @Millencolin's Monkey Boogie. She called me a weirdo and left. Big TV is now mine. Mission accomplished. Do the Monkey Boogie! music.apple.com/ca/album/monke…

Like I needed a reason to build something new!

@courtneyr_dev @stevejonesdev @EqualizeDigital It’s sweet that it identified a contrast ratio issue in a template part without it being in view while I was editing content.

@troychaplin @stevejonesdev @EqualizeDigital I’m down to just a few color contrast issues rated medium on my newsletter sign up form

Making use of the accessibility scanning results from @EqualizeDigital's plugin and finally fixing up my own #WordPress site 👩🏻‍💻

@courtneyr_dev @stevejonesdev @EqualizeDigital Oddly enough, I also installed it and am reviewing a site this evening. First time trying out the new sidebar approach, this is a fantastic improvement!

@stevejonesdev @EqualizeDigital Turns out, like an SEO plugin, it really is helpful to do much more than installing it 🤣

I have never loved a nav as much as I love this one. I made some key changes to Priority Plus Navigation variation block that includes updating the editor preview, adding new button style options, and fixing a couple of bugs. Get version 1.1.0 wordpress.org/plugins/priori…

@pootlepress I’ve been vibing on a choose your own adventure game leveraging the Interactivity API. Claude and I wrote the story and developed the plugin, Miles and I created the theme, and Nano Banana helped me handled the images! veilsoffate.com

Drop a comment with something cool you’ve built with AI recently. Curious what people are making 👀

@learnwithmattc @bgardner @apeatling @mikemcalister @famousish @Fueled @humanmadeltd That a conversation that I’d live to see happen. I’m a designer at heart, a little obsessed with design systems, and love what I’m seeing from those mentioned!

@bgardner @apeatling @mikemcalister @famousish Both @Fueled and @humanmadeltd are producing beautiful sites with FSE setups. It would be really productive to get all those folks in a room and talk about how to make WP FSE stronger from a design foundations perspective. I'd love to help coordinate if folks are interested

I’ve been pretty critical of the design coming out of the WordPress community over the years. But recent work from @apeatling, @mikemcalister, and @famousish gives me hope.

Doing the dishes and cleaning up after dinner with the boy. Listening to Christmas music. That’s how he rolls.

The wait is almost over! ⚔️📖 The beta for Veils of Fate opens March 20. Dive into a "Choose Your Own Adventure" experience where decisions shift the story. Built with the #WordPress Interactivity API for a seamless, lightning-fast journey. ⚡️ veilsoffate.com

@photomatt Ha, I’d take that over our temps. Just the other day we went from 11 degrees celsius to -21 less than 24 hours later!

Sometimes I look at the weather forecast in Texas and I’m like, just make up your mind!

@mikemcalister Came at a great time too, we’re likely gonna need to get something for my daughter before the next school year starts and I did not want a Chromebook! But now I really really want colour options for the pro model I purchase!

The MacBook Neo is the perfect laptop for like 98% of my family and friends. Literally everyone but me. That’s who this laptop is for. Smartest thing Apple did in a long time.

Yesterday @bymilesai and I dove into page templates, patterns, image generation and I couldn't be happier with the end results of these update About and Founder pages for Veils. veilsoffate.com/the-founders/ veilsoffate.com/about-veils-of…
