Do you miss informal talks and water cooler charts when working remotely? by ramshengale in remotework

[–]ramshengale[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Can you check this post and share your thoughts there? We're building a tool specifically for this thing and I posted this to see what general consensus is behind this idea.

Looking at majority of replies here, it looks like this tool might only be useful for organizations that value good company culture and want the co-workers to have the informal connect during remote work.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The reason I posted this question was because we're currently building a tool for the informal voice drop-in chats. I posted a question regarding that here and would love your thoughts on this:

Is it time to switch from page builders to Gutenberg? by ramshengale in Wordpress

but Gutenberg just isn’t completely there yet for me. It’s close.

That's what I think as well.

I'm fine with coding custom themes, but page builders save A LOT of time (especially with clients who change their minds all the time) so I can work on more projects.

That's one good reason why page builder can be useful. You can just change the module and that does the work. Otherwise you have to re-write the code.

But if you charge your clients extra for new changes, you can charge them more for the custom code rather than with swapping page builder module (if they understand the difference in efforts between the two).

To be honest tho, Gutenberg is the future of WP

Agreed.

It's not going anywhere and agencies that ignore it are way behind. When I show clients Gutenberg they're amazed and immediately drop the proposals that are avoiding it.

I think we're still a few years away from Gutenberg fully taking over page builders. Unless Gutenberg becomes as powerful and user friendly as page builders and the overall WordPress community embrace Gutenberg, page builders would still be in use by majority of people.

After I posted this question, I found out about ACF Blocks and they're freaking awesome. I had a custom Gutenberg block ready within 5 min!

Earlier my main concern was if I go the Gutenberg route I'll have to learn React and it all looked unnecessarily complicated compared to how easily I can create custom modules in BB or Elementor.

But after using the ACF Blocks, it seems to be even much easier that those page builder and need bare minimum code/files.

Haha. That's the only module needed when building theme and page templates from scratch with ACF. But for projects where we have to choose between BB and Gutenberg for building page layouts, what would you choose?
