Friday, April 3, 2026 WordPress could have an active developer community creating writing tools for WordPress users. I also want WordPress to form the foundation of a new social network, one that supports all the writing features of the web. With really nice user interfaces for people to choose from. That's a new ecosystem. It may form around ChatGPT and Claude etc. Or it could start with WordPress. I think I can get this bootstrapped, but I need people to work with. That's the summary of what I'm about at this point in 2026. # Feature request for WordPress. If an item doesn't have a title, you can do better than (no title) in the Posts list. Grab the first N chars of the body, or add a tool tip with the same text. I write a lot of "singular" posts, ie posts without titles. This is what I see on the Posts page. # Does EmDash have a feed reader built in?? # Suggestion for feed reader devs. Put a Check Now button on the page for a s...

Thursday, April 2, 2026 Please follow me at my new Twitter address: bullmancuso . Whatever anyone thinks of the company the product is still unique, there are people and communities there that I need to communicate with, and I just don't have that kind of network anywhere else. # My first real post in the New Dave On Twitter, or N-DOT. # Yesterday I wrote about AI introducing doubt with something as fundamental as how software is created now with the advent of AI software that can be used effectively to write software. Behind that I wondered if the open source developers of WordPress had changed their methodology? Is their codebase managed by ChatGPT now or Claude.ai? Not only did I get the answer to that question overnight (yes, they have made the change), but there was an announcement of a new WordPress competitor, something that hasn't come along in decades, actually. It's called EmDash from CloudFlare . I read their announcement, and then asked...

Wednesday, April 1, 2026 BTW, suggestion to web-based companies that send out notices via email. It's good to do that, but make sure somewhere there's a link to exactly the same material on the web. It can only build traffic for your ideas, earned media . # Archived Scripting News OPML source for March 2026. # The fog of tech # Got an email from Automattic about MCP support in WordPress, which is now available on their servers. With this new interface you can write prompts in Claude etc that do things in your WordPress workspace. Kind of like a scripting language, but English, like this -- "In WordPress, please set the category for the current post to Project 32." # I guess it's very much like the wpcom api we're using for WordLand . It's going to be harder to get people to look at wpcom with this kind of functionality out there. It was always going to be hard, but I liked the challenge of telling a story about a ...

Tuesday, March 31, 2026 It's peeve time. I've just listened to a song that inspires me on Amazon Music. A song I've been humming and singing in my head all morning. After it's done, the voice of Alexa comes on and says "BTW, you have two new messages. Would you like to hear them?" Now I have to think about how much I hate this. I had an exalting experience I want to savor and the frickin robot intervenes. If I say "don't do that again" it says basically "Sorry Dave." # BTW the latest episode of 500 Songs is about The Who and Tommy . I of course had the album, which means every song is deeply embedded in my personal LLM. This episode, in two parts , was one of the best most recent ones. As with what Get Back did for the Beatles, when you know more about the people creating the art it has so much more value. # YouTube now puts commercials in front of songs. I used to be able to point to a low rez recording of a ...

Monday, March 30, 2026 I had to say this to Claude just now. "this is exhausting. you're driving me around in circles and saying over and over 'this is it!' and it never is. us humans have protections built in to avoid that kind of wasted effort." # Yesterday I ran a podcast , a voicemail to NakedJen saying she could/should use Claude or ChatGPT to create software. Later that day she told me about the software she had written. I tried using it, and and then interrogated ChatGPT which had been her programming partner, to explain what she did and what the app does. I'm not sure I have the actual story yet, have to talk with Jen live. But it turns out that the thesis was correct, and she was already using ChatGPT, had even given it a name -- Harry, and was delegating tasks that I would want to use. Of course she was. Now I have to learn more from her about what she's doing. Stay tuned. # On Feb 8, two months after Firefox announced th...

Sunday, March 29, 2026 Podcast : Jen and I often exchange voicemails. Yesterday I sent one about how she, who is not a programmer, should try creating software with Claude or ChatGPT. I think the hardest part is figuring out how to get it to give you a file that you can run from your own desktop. But I explained that in the voicemail. Midway through I realized this a podcast, and checked with her if it would be okay and she was very emphatic that I should. You see NJ aside to being one of my best friends for life, is also a Natural Born Blogger or a person with maximum audacity. Her first instinct like mine is to share it and shut up. So that's what I'm doing. As usual I asked Claude to write the show notes. Hope you like it and thanks for listening! # The source code for my podcast builder app is open source . Of course I use my outliner to edit the OPML file for the podcast text and link in the enclosure. I recommend opening it in Drummer. To see ho...

Saturday, March 28, 2026 I'd like an AI bot that could do this. I open my browser to a page on netflix.com. It scans the page, figures out what movies are there, then it searches metacritic for each and presents me a list of all shows with a rating above a certain score. I know the streamers don't want us to have this info (I don't really understand why) but I really want it. BTW, they say the Green Knight is fantastic. Got the tip from a NYT email, but even they didn't say what the rating was, or even what their own reviewer said. Had to do this thing manually. Do they have any user-oriented creative people in the mix anywhere in this system?? # Bluesky's future for devs # There's a conference in Vancouver this weekend for people who are developing apps for Bluesky. They have a protocol they are proud of called AT Proto. A sexy name, but imho it doesn't do anything that Twitter's API did 20 years ago. So why do people...
