  • Snippet Pixie: Next – Switching between application modes – Part 2 | Always Developing #186

    In this session I finish up allowing the GUI application built with Wails, Go and Svelte to start in different modes.

    The default mode will be for management of Snippets, but there should also be a “Search and Paste” mode for selecting a Snippet and pasting it into the background application.

    As well as a “–search-and-paste” command line flags, I also add “–version” and “–help” flags, and unit tests for all the flags.

    Before starting every work day, I do half an hour or so of noodling on side projects, making sure to keep them moving forward, albeit slowly.

    Working on these side projects is how I learn new programming languages, frameworks and technologies.

    Chances are I’ll fail miserably each and every day, so at the very least you can take comfort in seeing a so-called senior developer fumbling through some development with little success.

  • Snippet Pixie: Next – Adding an Add button to the list snippets screen | Always Developing #182

    In this session I start to flesh out the functionality of the list snippets screen by adding an Add Snippet button.

    I do however get a little side-lined by trying to properly align the button with the search box.

  • Snippet Pixie: Next – Snippet pastes into previous window after selection | Always Developing #181

    In this session I take a look at possible ways of pasting the selected snippet into the previous window, landing on using xdotool. It works really well.

    I also upgrade to Wails 2.0.0-beta.37.

    In this session I get most of the way towards implementing the search and paste window functionality by getting the selected snippet’s expanded body to be copied to the clipboard when the GUI quits.

  • It's a big day! The WordPress plugin I work on, WP Offload Media, along with the other plugins developed by Delicious Brains, have been acquired by WP Engine!

    The teams behind the Delicious Brains plugins are all moving across to work for WP Engine, keeping continuity of development and support.

    After nearly 8 years working with Delicious Brains, I'm a little sad to be parting ways with Brad, who's been a great boss and friend, and I'll be forever grateful that he took a chance on hiring me so long ago.

    However, I'm also rather excited to be able to continue working on WP Offload Media. We've got some awesome stuff already in development and planned for WP Offload Media, and I think WP Engine is going to be a great company to continue the plugin's journey forward with.

    WP Engine Has Acquired the Delicious Brains Plugins!!
