Scripting News: Thursday, April 9, 2026

  • New ways to write with WordPress as the back-end.#
  • Build an API that combines what wpcom does and storage.#
  • Recruit devs to create products for this environment.#
    • Gutenberg will be one of these editors.#
    • I will provide WordLand which is a wizzy html editor that has a flip-switch Markdown mode.#
    • MarsEdit can join the club if possible. #
    • Leaflet would be great too. #
    • Any app that requires text editing is a good idea.#
  • Here's the really cool thing -- we can all edit each others' docs.#
  • Put another way, the docs belong to the users, and they let access them. #
  • The storage is so we can build smarter better editors, more fun, color, interactions, cool toys for writers.#
  • And yes, btw -- they are on the web, and there's an RSS 2.0 feed with rssCloud support. #
  • And for that we can create all kinds of amazing readers, I want to do one with SVG now that I know how to do that thanks to ChatGPT of course. SVG is another breakthrough waiting to happen.#
  • We're right there now. Ready to go. We start with text editors and build from there. #
  • There's a new place to put WordPress, under our apps. It's remarkably good for that. #
