Why I Built It

The Solution

graph TD;
  A[Collect reading signals] --> B{Is it actionable?};
  B -- Yes --> C[Extract constraints + risks];
  B -- No --> D[Save for later];
  C --> E[Map to builds];
  E --> F[Devlog write-up];

capture -> filter -> extract -> map -> ship

signals = read_queue()
insights = [s for s in signals if s.actionable()]
notes = summarize(insights)
plan = map_to_builds(notes)
write_devlog(plan, notes)

What I Learned

• The WordPress AI Leaders pilot is a paid micro‑credential that starts with a March 2026 cohort, prioritizes UIC students, and ties learning to real WordPress contributions.
• The WordPress MCP Adapter supports STDIO and HTTP transports, with STDIO + WP‑CLI as the simplest path for local development.
• MCP adapter safety hinges on least‑privilege capabilities and avoiding destructive abilities for public endpoints.
• Drupal Commerce can support B2B portals inside a single Drupal install without a separate platform, using built‑in capabilities and modules.
• The Mail Composer module provides an OOP + Twig‑based email API in Drupal, and has stable releases with Drupal 11 compatibility.
• The old IE stylesheet tag limit (around 31 link/style tags) remains a real reminder of why CSS aggregation strategy matters.
• WPTavern’s #203 podcast features Miriam Schwab on Elementor’s growth and AI direction, which frames how product teams talk about cautious rollouts and AI experimentation.
• I still have a few items queued to dig into deeper (Pantheon’s new dashboard traffic metrics, Gutenberg 22.5 notes, and a Drupal community values post), but the themes above were enough to shape next week’s build priorities.
