Entire chapters of internet culture grew up in Flash. When it was switched off, most of it should have disappeared forever. But it didn't, thanks to the efforts of the software preservation community and dedicated archivists.

Flash is just part of the story of VANISHING CULTURE, a new book exploring the fight to preserve our fragile digital history.

Join us at the book launch. 📖

If you're gonna read one annual report today, pick this one. I'm proud of the work we do at the Foundation and the wider movement. While I'm fortunate to see that every day, these annual reports do a great job of distilling down the big highlights. #wikipedia

@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. https://developer.wordpress.org/news/?p=5992

@wordpress/build, the next generation of WordPress plugin build tooling

@wordpress/build replaces webpack and Babel with esbuild, auto-generates your PHP script registration from package.json conventions, and requires zero config. It already builds all 100+ Gutenberg packages. The plan is for it to power @wordpress/scripts under the hood — so wp-scripts build stays the same, but gets faster and drops the hand-written PHP. The API is still open for input. This is what it does and where it needs your feedback.

You know what? I’ve had enough. Interactions on hover are fucked up. Being afraid to move my mouse is fucked up. Blocking content with stuff nobody asked for is fucked up. LET ME MOVE MY MOUSE WITHOUT FEAR!

If I’d want to see something I’ll click on it.

It was great fun to conduct a Workshop at WordCamp Asia contributor day. Roughly 100 students were in the class and it was a great interactive session. I also know that there were quite a few of you who didn’t get to join us because there wasn’t enough room. Birgit Pauli-Haack workshop on the block…
