The WordCamp App Guide: Plan Your Day and Meet More Folks

September 28, 2026

A WordCamp is two tracks, thirty something sessions, several hundred people and one corridor where the best conversation of the weekend happens by accident. That is a lot for one person to hold in their head, which is exactly what a WordCamp app is for. The WPFolks app has a WordCamp mode built for the […]

Day 5 of Roadmap Month: snippets that tell you what changed

September 27, 2026

Roadmap Month, day-5. Eight items, and three of them land on snippets — because a snippet is code somebody pastes into a live site, and it should be able to say more for itself than it currently does.

Day 3 of 30: Ten Small Things That Were Quietly Lying to You

September 21, 2026

Day 3 of Roadmap Month, and a theme emerged without anyone planning it. Almost every fix today was something that looked fine and was not: a button that did nothing when clicked, a form that said “saved” after saving nothing, a counter that said zero while the thing it counted sat right there, a link […]

Day 2 of 30: Fifteen Fixes, Starting With a Very Rude Error Page

September 18, 2026

Roadmap Month is a simple promise: thirty days, and every report that lands on the roadmap gets looked at, not queued. Day 2 closed fifteen of them. Most of these are small. That is the point. A platform does not feel unreliable because of one big outage, it feels unreliable because of a tooltip that […]
