Alfred 3 – Tips & Tricks To Becoming A Better Power User »
This is not a list of “the top 5 workflows for Alfred” this is instead tips and tricks to become a better Alfred user. It’s easy to setup Alfred and get some really cool workflows going, but it’s just as easy to forget about Alfred and it’s potential in a week or two. However, as … continue reading »
Jess found a coffee table online for about $15, took about a week of work but refinished it to our style. Super thrilled with how it turned out. Going to redo our dinning room table the same style next.
Do One Thing And Do It Well.
– Unix philosophy
🤔 I need to think about something – right now in CAD I pay:
- $14.99/month Apple Music (family)
- $12.99/month Netflix (family – 4x screens)
That’s $335.76/year. Almost a $0.92/day a day for media consumption.
Amazon Prime:
- Prime Music (4x devices)
- Prime Video (2x devices)
- Free shipping (on the hundreds I do spend on Amazon)
is $79.00/year, or $0.22/day.
Why aren’t I an Amazon Prime guy yet?
WordPress Pass PHP Variable and Values to JS Theme or Plugin »
The beautiful function wp_localize_script() was built for l11n, however its found as a method for carrying over server-side values into client-side JS. Your values are now available in your .js file: Currently using this in a React theme I’m building for WordPress. This can also be done with something like:
I’ve just started developing a site using WPRig.io, it’s pretty neat – and it’s really a terrific starter theme that allows modern tooling. It saves a lot of the time with small annoying tasks that typically come with starter-theme development.
The Good:
- easy browser sync
- progressive and conditional CSS loading
- auto compile, auto image compress
- drag-n-drop in template files (ie: site needs comments.php, just include ins
- built in support for cssnext
The Bad
- There should be a less repetitive way to combine preloading
wprig_add_body_style(), registering, and printing stylesheets. Currently you need to add a stylesheet in three different locations to load it properly - Version numbers for register/enqueue are hard coded, and repeated – should be put into a constant so dev’s can hard refresh their visitors resources if needed
The Ugly
- lacks BEM naming
I’ve just started using it, so perhaps I’m being to quick to criticize, so take that with a grain of salt. I will probably submit a pull request for the things I find to help the project grow.
So, if everything continues goes well, I’m considering condensing my starter theme into components for wp-rig’s /dev/pluggable/ folder, and re-creating my personal starter theme with this logic. These will basically serve as helper functions that I expect and need.
Sticky Buttons Within A Section »
Common practices for sticking elements weren’t working for me: position: sticky and stickybits. I didn’t want to use jQuery either, normally I’d reach to use waypoints.inview. So I wrote my own in vanilla Javascript. The nice part is it was much easier to do a sticky bottom. Scroll to element, bottom of viewport hits bottom of … continue reading »
Every Image URL Filter For WordPress, Front & Back End »
I had a project where every single media library image URL needed to be filtered, backend and front end. As far as I’ve found these were the filters for every area: The myplugin_filter_html_image_urls() function peals out images with regex from areas where it’s not just the URL being sent. This function may require verification of … continue reading »
