Editor chat summary: Wednesday, 28 August 2019

This post summarizes the weekly editor chat meeting on Wednesday, 28 August 2019, 14:00 WEST held in Slack.

Weekly Priorities

  • Inline tips #16582 was closed until #16592 gets resolved.
  • Edit MediaFlow #11952 received feedback and needs to be updated).
  • Regarding the architecture work preparing the editor to handle multiple entities, @epiqueras shared that the framework changes and everything up to the site blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. is done. Now we need designs for template selection/creation, and post block save flows, etc.
  • Background color for the cover block was merged and release.
  • Regarding the gradient backgrounds, @jorgefilipecosta proposed a PR implementing gradient functionality. @jorgefilipecosta shared that we need to decide if the predefined gradients created by themes should use a class or an inline style. And asked: Is there an expectation that when a theme switch happens, the gradients should change? If you have any thoughts on this subject, please share them!
  • Screen height image expand has been updated and just about to cross the finish line.

  • @kjellr is working on:
  • @jorgefilipecosta will continue the work on gradients, continue the block style improvements (is hoping to merge theme default block styles soon), and other smaller improvements like button block styles.
