I've been spending time this week next to client projects to building a new super simple time tracker called Tide. Will be launching it soon, aim is to replace Harvest for my personal use.

For context: I've been using Harvest for YEARS, paying for it almost mindlessly. All I really use is time tracking and invoicing, and with the PE acquisition I don't expect it to get any better.

I'd also like to add an MCP server, so I can tell my OpenClaw "hey, add 3 hours to project X for task Y"

Weekend project: a minimal Harvest clone with clients, projects and time tracking. I just can't still these days 😂

I haven't been very active on here lately, but I'm planning to change that. I miss having some real interactions on socials.

I've been dipping my toes outside of WP and seeing what else is out there, taking my experience from Autoblue and turning it into a social scheduler SaaS.

Hi, apologoies for the slow response! This should've been included from the start tbh, not sure how I missed it. I'll try to get it added ASAP!

Everyone is building AI agents right now, and I'm dabbling a bit as well. Is there a clear favorite so far or not really?

How does it compare to lazyvim? I’m very happy with lazyvim with my own tweaks but can’t pass up an opportunity to break my config once again.

I'm playing around with Laravel and it's actually so incredibly well set up for AI-assisted development.

There's some really good tools, official packages for almost everything, and with Laravel being extremely idiomatic the AI is really good at implementing it all.

Autoblue 1.0 is out, officially out of beta and now with support for self-hosted PDS instances! 🎊

Next up: improving the comments block

hi yes please! can you email me at daniel at betterloopwp dot com? it's the support system for my other plugin.

I haven't specifically added support for self-hosted PDS so very possible it doesn't work out of the box, but I'd be very happy to add support for it

Awesome! Let me know how it works for you.

I ran into an issue where my local WordPress installation using Herd wasn't generating thumbnails for PDF files. This is how I fixed it.

And here's the result—a polished file upload UI that looks like it came straight from WordPress core.

Another step closer to releasing the Document Hub extension for Better Loop. 🤞🏼

A collection of icons for the Document Hub extension, showing various file types such as image, video etc

I always always always want my plugins to feel like they belong in WordPress. It's very important to me that they feel like a native extension of WP itself.

If that means designing custom icons in the same style for the Document Hub extension, then that's what I'll do 😅

How hard is it to build a loop with multiple filters working together in Better Loop?

Watch me design and build a loop for a recipe page in less than two minutes 😎

Demo: Magazine See how you can use Better Loop to create a dynamic and engaging magazine website straight from the WordPress block editor.

Trying something new: live demos for Better Loop, showcasing the plugin through a made-up website.

Next step is creating a Playground blueprint so you can click around the admin and play with it!

v1.2.0 Better Loop v1.2.0 has landed with some exciting updates—I’ve added a new filter block, expanded color options, and introduced a custom post template block. In v1.2.0, I’m introducing the Buttons…

Better Loop 1.2 is out! With a new Buttons filter block, more color options and a custom post template block.

I'm experimenting with an "interactive" changelog, with live demos so you can try out all new features right from the changelog: betterloopwp.com/changelog/v1...

Yes, they were in spam 😬 replied!

daniel at autoblue dot co should work, thanks!

Can you share the logs with me? I'm not sure where else to look, hopefully I can spot something.

Do you have access to the PHP error logs? Those might tell us something. You can usually see them when logging into your hosting account.

Do you have access to error logs? If you could rerun one of the failed jobs and check the logs that would be great.

Are there other calls in there that are failing, or is it only Autoblue? If it’s just Autoblue I can investigate more, if it’s also other things then your host should be able to solve it for you.

WP Crontrol WP Crontrol enables you to take control of the cron events on your WordPress website.

Did anything change in the cron configuration of your site and/or server? The "Scheduling share" message means a cron job is scheduled, but it doesn't seem to fire.

You could try the WP Crontrol plugin to see if it's being scheduled/run, that might tell us more: wordpress.org/plugins/wp-c...

For those of you using a filtering plugin (FacetWP, Search & Filter etc), what are some must-haves for you personally? What's something currently missing that you would love to have?

(and yes I'm using Social Image Generator here, the same version I built 4 years ago!)

Infinite Scroll Keep on scrolling.

I've been working on the documentation for the different pagination options in Better Loop. Really happy with all the live examples! Check out the infinite scroll docs here to get an idea:

That's not good! Thanks for letting me know. As a first step, can you try disconnecting and reconnecting your account in the settings page?

If that fixes it, there might be some bug in the reauthentication logic I built.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

First on the list should probably be an About page, heh
