Recordings are now available from WP accessibility day 2024, an online conference held last month. The recordings for all of the presentations are now captioned, transcribed, and include ASL interpretation. Recordings are labeled with a level of accessibility experience. There is a good mix of topics including changes in the legal requirements and a number of tutorials.

Paul Charlton takes a first look at WebStudio. This is an option that caught the attention of a lot of us. It has support for GraphQL and RestAPI and decent support for several back-end options for headless. This video is just a quick overview.

I’m logging in and out of WordPress websites all day long. There is a free web browser extension called WordPress Admin Switcher that makes this quicker. It is a nice quality of life enhancement that works on Chrome and Chromium based browsers.

I was asking about creating color palettes in the Core Framework Facebook group and the Realtime Colors site was suggested. What is cool about this site is that you can set your colors using the bar at the bottom of the page and the site applies the colors you’ve chosen. Hat tip to Zeik Sparrow for the suggestion.

Joost has a new Progress Planner plugin. This is not a plugin for agencies and freelancers, but rather for bloggers, entrepreneurs, and DIY site owners. Progress Planner gamifies content creation and site maintenance tasks for people who aren’t necessarily “pros” and might need guidance. There is currently a beta of the free version in the WP plugin directory and they are planning a pro version for the future.

Not WordPress, but may be of interest to founders. Paul Graham on “Founder’s Mode”. Managing a company after it has been growing. The traditional wisdom isn’t working.
