WordPress for iOS: Much Improved

Reading time: 1 minute

I wrote a post a while back stating that the iOS app for WordPress was… lackluster, at best.  That was nearly a year-and-a-half ago, and it’s nice to see that the app has come a long way.  I downloaded it to test it recently, and I was happily surprised with what I found:

Taking a page from the Facebook App’s playbook has done it a world of good.  Things are streamlined, sleek, and all of the features I was hoping for are now there.  You can add video (via HTML5), different post formats, and (nearly) everything you can do on the desktop version.

Need to access your WP Dashboard? One click inside the app will log you in and take you there.  Need to check stats?  It will load and format the stats to look nice on your device.

So, if you haven’t used it in a while, give it a go again – I think you’ll be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

    WordPress, React, and The Future

    Reading time: 1 minute

    On September 14, Matt Mullenweg announced that WordPress was rethinking its use of the React.js library due to Facebook’s clarification on its patents. The short story: Facebook released React under a modified “open-source-ish” license (called BSD+Patents) that allow them to judiciously revoke the patent if a service violates the terms of service (specifically, if they…
