Recencio Book Reviews

wzy

Wrote this plugin while experimenting with custom post types for recipes. The recipe plugin market seem saturated and the big players in that niche have very loyal fans. So I re-purposed by recipe plugin for book reviews so that I could experiment with WordPress and its plugin API.

Submitted it, forgot about it until I got an email from a user. Checked the plugin's support page and saw that I had 4 missed support requests as WP.org does not auto-subscribe plugin authors to new threads on their plugin support page. So, I brushed off some of the code-cruft and implemented some new features at the request of new users.

I am now at a watch-and-see period with Gutenberg and I am researching ways of growing my user base.

I look forward to giving this a peek. Being agile and responsive to the needs of the community and to the changing landscape of WP is definitely an important quality to have when introducing something new. Thanks for reminding me of that. I definitely have Gutenberg in mind with every new plugin I inspect. It’ll be interesting to see how the plugin space changes.

Truth be told, I am really dreading Gutenberg because my plugin is 80% custom metaboxes plus I really don't live the current JS/Node ecosystem as it is.

wzy I really don't live the current JS/Node ecosystem as it is

Don't love or don't live? Or both? I'm definitely not living in it enough to know whether I love it or not. However, I have been working my way through a couple @wesbos courses in order to better prepare myself for the the eventuality of the Gutenberg infestation/reformation of WordPress core. So, I'm trying to live in it more.

*don't like ...but "love" also works.

I really don't want anything to do a language ecosystem where importing an external library to check if a number is even or if it is a number is considered a "best practice".

(Sorry about the delayed response, the notification emails where in my spam folder)

wzy Yeah, that is pretty crazy.

Thanks for mentioning the notification email hit spam. I thought SPF records and such are all set well. Could just be the odd domain extension. I noticed one hit my spam, too. ?
