Sharing meals builds trust, jumpstarts relationships and drives momentum—essential for distributed teams. These shared experiences foster unity and enrich collaboration, much like WordCamps do for the WordPress community.

One big thing I’m working on

It’s not uncommon for website builders to offer a perspective that allows you to see more of your site by stacking sections of a page together. In WordPress, these are called “Patterns.”

I envision a similar experience within WordPress, especially as patterns continue to become more and more significant for the WordPress page building experience.

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!

Composing pages with patterns from a zoomed-out view reduces the granularity of editing, while further simplifying selection, rearranging, removing, and styling of entire sections of a page at a time—providing more confidence that a design is coherent and visually appealing.

This is much more than a different perspective, but rather a first iteration towards a “simple mode” for editing sections of a page at a time and composing new pages. On that front, it would be interesting to explore engaging content-only editing as you select a section of a page to edit when zoomed out.

Blocks I’m building

I’ve started sharing the blocks I built for my blog because I find them interesting and believe you might learn something new by checking out the code. Your suggestions for improvement are also welcome—it’s a learning opportunity for both of us.

I recently built a dark mode toggle block and a cards block, each using different techniques to showcase various methods for building WordPress blocks. I also have a video on YouTube where I cover the basics of building a dynamic block with the help of ChatGPT.
