Trying the new release of WordPress 7 and the Desktop Mode plugin from Automattic. Interesting. Pretty clunky that it iframes in the original UI instead of having it’s own UI but an interesting concept none the less.

I still love WordPress but I’ve been feeling more drawn to ClassicPress and Django of late. Django is hard though because you can’t run it in a traditional hosting environment.

For those not familiar with ClassicPress, it’s a fork of WordPress without the Gutenberg block editing. It’s a smaller, cleaner code base that works just the same as WordPress.

Well, unless you’re using the block editor. Then it doesn’t work the same. It relies on the TinyMCE editing panel of old WordPress from 10 years ago.
