JR Tashjian @jrtashjian@talos.link

I’ve been on here a while but never wrote an #introduction post so here it is.

My name is Mark thought most people call me JR (J.R. not “junior”). I am a believer and follower of Christ. My passion is #software #engineering and I’ve been at it professionally for over 14 years. Though I mostly develop for the web I enjoy working with the #fullstack including the hardware and architecture of it.

I like #videogames #opensource #homelab #php #wordpress #laravel #javascript #selfhosted #linux #you

Wanted to share a method of how we're converting some blocks in CoBlocks into #WordPress core blocks. A lot of "early day" blocks today could become extensions of core blocks, block variations, or block patterns. The Block Editor has come a long way. https://github.com/godaddy-wordpress/coblocks/pull/2325

#WordPress Group and Column blocks that have CurateWP
2.0 blocks within them will present new controls, allowing you to change multiple CurateWP blocks at once!

Check out this early demo:

I've been working towards CurateWP 2.0 with better integration within the #WordPress block editor. Here's a preview of the first block I'm calling "Post Picker" which allows you to embed a single post into a page.
