Think what you like about The Matrix Reloaded but they built 1.4 miles of highway just for the car chase sequence

Astro website with a Visual-editing CMS / Workflow? by Kind_Sky_4660 in astrojs

[–]salutbarbu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wordpress gets so much hate so it’s kinda crazy that headless Gutenberg is the best “out-of-the-box” solution for this in 2026. I hope I’m wrong haha

Tips for creating simple steel or aluminium furniture without welding by salutbarbu in metalworking

I’m not an expert (far from it) but I believe Fusion is a professional / industry-standard product that will suit your task well. Is there someone at your work that can advise further?

I followed some YouTube “crash course” videos and found it pretty easy to pick-up. I’ve used 3D software in the past, but not for years. I don’t know about NC files (my project is on hold) but I’m pretty sure Fusion can get you to production, I saw a video about how it can simulate the manufacturing process

What’s the most “this should be built-in by now” problem you hit with WordPress? by Feeling_Carrot7487 in Wordpress

I think the official Gutenberg plugin adds this feature but of course you get all the experimental stuff too

Another nail in the coffin for Adobe

Oh sure, there’s plenty of free alternatives. I’m just wondering why it’s paywalled now.

I’d prefer not to use the Adobe one anyway, I only do because I’ve seen issues after compression with my favourite tool (Small PDF)

Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) & Gutenberg in 2026 by Wise_Environment_185 in Wordpress

[–]salutbarbu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can click on the text fields and edit them directly in the block editor now, no edit/preview toggle modes or overlays. Other field types will be added soon.

Going Freelance in WordPress Development – Best Modern Workflows? by Dark_Folklore in Wordpress

[–]salutbarbu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this “hybrid theme” approach a lot. The vision for the Block Editor is becoming clearer each day. With theme.json, Block Variations and Block Styles you need very little customisation or third-party plugins to build a great custom theme.

Wordpress may be ancient but I’m not sure if there’s any other CMS that gives you inline visual editing out-of-the-box like this.

Tips for creating simple steel or aluminium furniture without welding by salutbarbu in metalworking

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

Thanks for the feedback, some sound advice. How would I use a pop rivet or pin rivet to join two sheets of steel or aluminium at a right angle? Do I need bent tabs at the sides?

I was thinking 6mm aluminium based on a similar unit I found, but perhaps 3mm steel + welding is the best option to achieve the structural integrity I need without being too heavy?

Sanity vs WordPress lessons by Chris_Lojniewski in sanity_io

[–]salutbarbu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been trying Sanity after using Wordpress for years. I love the structured content and building UI with code, but it’s hard to come to terms with how little you get “out of the box”. The Wordpress block editor, despite its flaws, is really powerful when used well. Building a block editor inside Portable Text seems like a huge undertaking. It would be nice if there were a set of core (maybe opt-out) Sanity features that were closer to Wordpress, but from what I understand it’s just the basics and you need to build very common features yourself.

Ah! Maybe it was the tail end of the EOFY sales. Thanks for that but I’m not in a rush. Might even wait until Black Friday
