![]() #WCEU /TTGcoeDZG8 Adrian Roselli June 17, 2017 ![]() Widgets support? Weebly / Wix / SquareSpace pressure. No research cited, 1 user cited (the other WP guy). While he acknowledged that was a stretch, the concepts of easier and richer kept popping up. Using the Bloomberg interactive history of code example, Matt suggested that Gutenberg would make it easier to achieve content like that. There are also lots of assertions that it will be easier to make rich, interactive pages. It feels to me that addressing that competition starts with mimicking their interfaces. Some of the reasons he offered were about the complexity of shortcodes and widgets, though it is not quite clear how Gutenberg solves that any better than finally adding the WYSIWYG editor to text widgets, for example.īut I keyed into a question about the impetus for the new editor, and what I heard from the answer was that Wix, SquareSpace, Weebly, and others are competition that must be addressed. Update: As of November 3, 2018, I paid for captions and added them on this embed, as well as submitted them to. You can watch the entire interview (no captions yet) on and I have embedded it below (no captions here either). I wanted to understand both what problem Gutenberg is trying to solve, and how it will do so. I watched Matt’s interview about Gutenberg with keen interest as a result of these conversations. Matt Mullenweg is one of the creators of WordPress and is also founder of Automattic, a company that has built its business on WordPress, and also contributes mightily to WordPress. The answer I overwhelmingly got back was that Matt wanted it. Of the people I asked, I do not know who was a contributor. Remembering that WordCamp is open source, I then re-jiggered my question and asked what problem it was trying to solve. When I first heard about Gutenberg, I asked some people at WordCamp London and later at WordCamp Europe who had requested it. I am going to try to quantify what is in my head and hope it is useful for me in the future and perhaps someone else today. Add my accessibility experience and I am wary of its successful implementation. Given all this, I am wary of the justifications for the tool. What I have to go on is the demo plug-in, an interview with Matt Mullenweg, some hallway conversations, and nearly 20 years of experience with content management systems (including having built one that pre-dated WordPress and was in use for 15 years until I moved on from my company). I am not involved with WordPress, though I have gotten to know some of the folks on the accessibility team (surprise), so my knowledge of what is going on behind the scenes is zero. As of WordCamp Europe, it is now in open beta with a plug-in available for testing. While I had first seen it at WordCamp London, it was not a public project yet.
