Learn video thumbnails
We have been designing thumbnail templates for Learn videos of WordPress.org site. Since this visual revamp set a baseline aesthetic, we also included templates for content related to other sections of the site.
Concerning Placeholders, Again
Threading the needle on setup states that provide convenient shortcuts when inserted empty, yet still scale to very narrow contexts when the are inserted, for example, in a 100px thin column, is a tall order. Through a few PRs and an experiment, work continues to improve things. PR 1, PR 2, experiment.
Social Icons
Based on an idea by Rich, George has put together an excellent PR to auto-match the social icon to the URL pasted.
Inspector refresh
An initial sketch of a refreshed Inspector which seeks to bring its contents into alignment with the site editors ‘detail panels’.
Select mode refresh
An early look at some potential enhancements to select mode, both based on the idea that it becomes the foundation of a section-centric ‘assembler’ experience in core. In one concept, toggling ‘Compose’ mode adjusts the zoom level and selection mechanics, and opens the pattern inserter to facilitate easy adding / shuffling / re-ordering of sections. The second concept is a more opinionated experience. Toggling ‘Compose’ locks the inserter and inspector open and hides distracting editor tools.
A Metabox Toggle
A PR to improve the editing experience of metaboxes, while also allowing the editor iframe to function, received a couple of icon suggestions. PR.
