MOSTO: Light Framework for Forms

There are tons of great form plugins out there, some of which we use here on WP Daily (such as Gravity Forms) but I’m always on the lookout for opportunities to try something new, even if it’s not in the form of an off-the-shelf plugin. I came across MOSTO this morning and spent a little too much time walking through his simple overview and looking at Dan Winer’s form code. It’s definitely simple and I totally get his CSS/HTML framework that he’s created (and the reason why he’s rejected  Bootstrap and Foundation). There’s simply a lot of markup that you don’t have to […]

I love pure exploratory concept work as it expands the mind and challenges me to see and think differently, especially things that I have become so obtuse and callous towards because of everyday use. Take, for example, the browser. Sure, you may be an ardent Chrome fan, or a long-time Firefox user, or even a Safari or IE die-hard, but have you ever thought about a much more simple layout and design? Look at Sebastiaan de With’s concept of a much more simple browser, what he’s calling Helm:

Looking to build a native mobile version of a WordPress blog or site this year? We all know that there is nothing stopping the growth of mobile and it’s something that every site owner has to consider constantly as they seek to provide the best experience for their users as well as engage potential customers. But building a native mobile application isn’t necessarily easy nor can it be entirely cheap – not as cheap, say, as downloading and installing WordPress onto your own server cheap! That’s why it’s great when we come upon open source frameworks built for mobile application […]

WordPress has been accepted as a mentor for the Google Summer of Code, 2013 which is a global program that offers students stipends to write code for *gasp* open source projects! Naturally, it makes sense that WordPress provide some level of mentoring and coaching for the youngins to get their feet wet. The student list is growing at a fast pace – now it’s time to get the mentors in line. This means that Jen Mylo is looking for you: IF you have worked on an assigned feature team in one of the last few releases, you can be a mentor, […]

Now this is some big and very sweet news – audio and video support has been added to core, courtesy of the incredible MediaElement.js library. John Dyer, the man behind MediaElement.js, is someone I’ve known for many, many years and is one of the smartest guys I’ve ever met – I don’t say that flippantly or facetiously, he really is that smart. But besides his brilliance he’s got a great heart – one that’s been giving back to the open source community for sometime. For his MEjs library to be included in core is a huge plug for not only his […]

Qafoo PHP Refactoring Browser Tool

Working with WordPress at any development level requires that you get your hands a bit dirty; PHP-dirty that is. And if you’re serious about developing apps on top of WordPress then you’ll need tools and packages to get your work done – which may include refactoring apps that help you move faster through tons of code. This automatic refactor for PHP generates diffs that describe the refactoring steps – this, naturally, prevents simple mistakes during refactorings and automates it. Simple concept but the combination of libraries that they’ve included may make it worth a few moments of your time to review: […]

As shared first on WP Realm, there might be a new take on the local meatspace experience for WordPress – that is, another format for those interested in gathering to hang out, talk about, and even hack WordPress: The WordPress community in Portugal is starting a new experiment, calling it the WordPress Residency: a week-end for WordPress enthusiasts to meet and and generally get to know each other. It sounds like the start of something interesting. And it really does. What you get is the opportunity to hang out for much greater and more intimate time with other WordPress junkies, […]

I’ve been looking for a killer combination of the comment layer of WordPress blogs and making these sit also in a forum environment too. There are a number of systems and solutions that do this – for example, I’ve played around with Vanilla Forums for quite sometime and their WordPress integration feature has become better and better over time. What Vanilla Forums does is provide a way for users to comment on the blog post and then mirror these comments into a direct forum where the conversation can live in parallell as well as persistently. There are a lot of reasons that […]

We shared the news a little while ago about Tung Do’s DP Dashboard and it got a lot of attention as well as both a handful of “heck yeahs!” and “um, I hate this” responses. Tung has taken all of that on the chin and responded very positively, continuing to move forward in his project and taking the great pieces of feedback that was received in the v0.1 release. This one, called Haymaker, sees an incredible update with the design and actually does see some “Wow!” factor in terms of look and feel. This new admin theme, called Hunter, see auto-updates, media […]
