The Connectors screen in WP 7.0 would really benefit from encrypted options unless we want to expose those API keys to anyone with access to wp-admin/options.php

ChatGPT wouldn't do it, Claude wouldn't do it.

Eventually tried Perplexity and it was able to generate notes with correct code snippets from my WordPress course videos. Amazing since it didn't have to invent anything -- just capture everything I said and include the relevant code snippets.

The trick was to create 1 FPS videos with full audio so that it still has access to full video contents and audio but with ~5% of the file size. Worked great.

WordPress block development with breakpoint debugging for JS is a life-changer! So is PHP breakpoints, to be honest.

Instead of hunting for the correct file in the browser console, you just add breakpoints in VS Code and it automatically stops the JS executation at that point to show you the full state.

When can we reasonably expect all macOS apps to use the correct squircle radius?

I can't believe VSCode and Google Chrome are still different from the Finder or any of the built-in apps...

Here is the "Record Coding" automation that I built.

I can't believe I'm discovering the Apple Shortcuts just now.

In one click it can now get my computer ready for screen recording -- it opens VS Code, web browser + recording app, and resizes the windows to fit a specific aspect ratio.

The app is bundled with every Mac and iPhone since 2021. Be sure to check out the included library of pre-built shortcuts and automations for inspiration.

Can AI help optimize your landing pages and help drive sales from actual user session data?

We enabled user session recording using PostHog (which uses rrweb behind the scenes), and drove Meta ads to the page.

Then used AI to extract those 36k+ events into a single file (right from the browser console) and asked it to analyze the results.

Here is what it said:

Turns out that building a "Clear formatting" feature for the WordPress block editor is more difficult than I imagined.

Many blocks have the inner content as part of the `content` attribute but things get difficult with RichText, for example.

Do you have a solution for this?

Add logging to my kitchen-sink WordPress plugin with handlers for error_log() and Query Monitor.

Nice to have info/debug level data while developing and warnings+ on PROD.

How are you handling this in your plugins?
