23 looks good on WordPress. 🎂
Since May 27, 2003, WordPress has been blogging, building, publishing, shipping, translating, theming, plugin-ing, and making the web a little more wonderfully weird.
Happy birthday, WordPress. 💙
Imagine if WordPress was built purely for writers.
That was the question behind my Write plugin, and I’m incredibly proud to see it forked, improved, and now made available for @wordpressdotcom users.
One of my favourite @automattic Radical Speed Month projects, now live in beta and available to test.
A clean page. A blinking cursor. The formatting you need, and nothing you don’t.
We’d love you to take it for a spin and let us know what you think 👇

Color swatches coming to Woo core.
(I may be biased but I think the Woo team has been killing Radical Speed Month by hitting so many good, long-standing feature requests).

Just pushed a set of improvements and tweaks to this PR for changing how navigation/menus operate. Check it out, would love to hear more feedback from real merchants and developers who work with @WooCommerce .
I'm experimenting with a possible direction for @WooCommerce menu structure.
This modifies how @WordPress' main nav works, introducing an additional layer of nesting. Handles Woo extensions, allows for other plugins to still nest inside the Woo area, and also moves Orders to the top of the Woo area. Please check it out, try it in Playground (link in PR), and let me know what you think of this direction!
