Block Bindings

Status: Needs feedback

Some more elaborate mockups for how we can visualize block bindings in the UI. Tracking issue.

Block Bindings in Multi Entity Saving

Status: Needs feedback

Mockups for how block bindings could be shown in the multi entity saving panel, near and possibly longer term.. Issue.

Inserter Results

Status: Needs feedback

The inserter is contextual to the block you have selected. So when a block can’t be inserted inside or after, you’ll sometimes see an unhelpful “No results” message, or just very few blocks overall. This issue explores improvements in two levels of options. Issue.

Learn redesign (i8)

Status: Needs feedback

As part of the WordPress.org redesign, we worked on a new iteration for Learn that spans card tweaks and other navigational components according to dev work. The mockups are open for feedback and intend to conclude during early days of next week.

Feature introduction

Status: Completed

Among the latest tasks for the Dark mode project in Openverse, the feature introduction flow landed on a design that presents the functionality through an announcement banner and a animated glowing button that remains active until users click on it.

Generating thumbnail images, a step-by-step video

Status: Completed

In collaboration with Kathryn Presner, we recorded a video showing step by step how to generate visuals for WordPress-related videos with the video thumbnail generator file. The file will be public in Figma Community once this video reaches WordPress YouTube channel, but so far, it’s already public on WordPress TV.
