Bitbucket Issues meeting on Slack

Lately we've been moving some CF7 Skins Team discussions from Skype to Slack.

All CF7 Skins Team members should have recently received an email inviting you to join our Slack conversations at cf7skins.slack.com.

So far we've only been using Slack to conduct meetings which we were previously doing via Skype.

Bitbucket Issues meeting on Skype

We've found meeting on Slack was a little slower than Skype but does offer some advantages:

  • provides easy to access record of meetings
  • others can access older discussions
  • we can link to previous comments

We should get quicker as we use Slack more.

If you have any suggestions, please add them on this post.

You can also add a Comment if you want – you can do that on all our posts.

Human Made developing react-wp-scripts

Last Updated on December 4, 2017 by Neil Murray

I recommend we follow/watch react-wp-scripts

This project solves two issues that prevent seamless usage of webpack in WordPress themes and plugins:

  • WordPress doesn’t necessarily know where to look for the output bundles.
  • WordPress cannot access the development server due to cross-origin restrictions.

It's based on create-react-app – uses a wrapper for create-react-app's react-scripts to allow seamless usage of scripts and styles served from webpack-dev-server in WordPress.
