  • Why using React for a new WordPress admin is no good idea

    Glenton Samuels commented the proposal for the future WordPress admin materials and surfaces and laid it down very clearly why using React for it is a bad idea. And I fully agree with it.

    Just to quote the conclusion, but it’s worth to read the full post:

    A full React rewrite may look cutting-edge, but it threatens the broad community, the ecosystem, and WordPress’s future sustainability. Instead, modernizing via PHP + Interactivity API + modern CSS (including View Transitions) preserves backward compatibility, performance, and accessibility while delivering a polished, modern admin experience.

  • Testing OpenCloud

    I recently discovered OwnCloud Infinite Scale, but couldn’t find much information about the installation, etc., even though it sounded interesting (building OwnCloud from scratch in Go sounds promising instead of using PHP, as the old version and also NextCloud do).

    Fast forward to this week, I stumbled upon OpenCloud, a fork of OwnCloud Infinite Scale, with an easy to find documentation.

    So, I now test it on my TrueNAS Community, whether it can replace my current Seafile solution. So far, it probably can.
