The WordPress Developer Blog has a new guide on writing end-to-end (E2E) tests with Playwright. It covers setup with wp-env, testing block variations and patterns, and verifying front-end output using the REST API. developer.wordpress.org/news/?p=6048

OoooOOooh! Guess what! As of Chrome 149, shape() works in shape-outside! So you can really *shape* your UI's 😉* rect() and xywh() are also supported for shape-outside in Chrome 149 *(just let me have my Mom joke)

The Intercept, the independent investigative news site from First Look Media, runs on WordPress. It's a solid example of how WordPress supports serious newsrooms publishing at scale. See it in the WordPress Showcase. wp.me/pmwwI-3sf

The nascent HTML-in-Canvas API is exciting to me not for flashy effects, but because it extends the semantics that the DOM can (tractably) represent — tiny example: it's possible to show an element in multiple places, cheaply, under arbitrary transforms. folkjs.org/demos/html-in-…

@AlexStandiford @sirenaffiliates See this repo: github.com/felixarntz/wp-… Abilities registration class: github.com/felixarntz/wp-…

Is anyone actually leveraging and consuming the WordPress Abilities API? If so, how? I want to understand the benefits for consumers before I go implementing something for it into @sirenaffiliates (Please boost for reach)

@BendikMatej I only tried the free one from my account not the pro one.

@vijayang Have you tried Claude as well?

If you had $20/month, which one would you pick today? • ChatGPT Pro • Claude Pro For daily coding on projects. Poll below if you want to vote ↓

@BendikMatej Stitch for layout, typography, color ideas. Recently they introduced design.md source of truth for agentic web page design. Plus their Pomelli is used for branding. I don't know but I guess this is the only LLM can understand YT video not transcript but vid frames.

@BendikMatej Same shell script wp-scripts lint:js -- --fix. So one shell controls formatting of PHp and JS based on file extension going to expand it for scss files lint fix too. I have 20 (I guess) deep research so sometimes I use it for exploring unknown territories and want market data.

@wordpress/build is a new build tool for WordPress plugins that replaces webpack and Babel with esbuild, auto-generates PHP script registration, and requires zero config. It already powers all 100+ Gutenberg packages. The API is still being shaped, and your feedback is welcome. developer.wordpress.org/news/?p=5992

OPcache doesn't cache your #PHP files. It caches the compiled opcodes. PHP is compiled. Every time. Your code becomes a stream of VM instructions: ASSIGN, FETCH_DIM, DO_FCALL, RETURN, etc. OPcache stores those opcodes in shared memory. Next request: skip parsing, skip compiling. Jump straight to execution. That's a massive speedup on every request you never had to think about.

Sudha Murty, author, educator, and co-founder of the Infosys Foundation, runs her official site on WordPress. It brings together her literary work, public talks, interviews, and philanthropic initiatives in one place. You can see it in the WordPress Showcase. wp.me/pmwwI-3ql

@jamezvsa @tetsuaki_hamano Yes, but if you see market trends it's either Debian based or Red Hat based or Arch based (lower percentage). These three cover literally 80-90%.

@vijayang @tetsuaki_hamano Probably 1000 of them.

My new gear... I’ve been using Windows for nearly 20 years, and this is the first Mac I’ve ever owned. I’m excited to see how it changes my development experience 😄

@tetsuaki_hamano Ah, ok 👍.

@vijayang One major reason is that I wanted an environment where I can test web applications using the Safari browser 😄

@briancoords @onuro Hi Brian, if you ever have the space, I’d love to see your take on Playwright for WordPress. Specifically using @wordpress/e2e-test-utils-playwright and front-end testing integrated with IAPI. No pressure, just think your insights would be awesome! 🚀

What would the WordPress navigation look like if we ditched Dashicons and used the modern WordPress icon set? I let Claude Code and the Playwright MCP rip for a few minutes and it looks pretty good! h/t @onuro for the idea

@Fried_rice i backed the source up on my github github.com/instructkr/cla…
