*** Gutenberg Blocks CPTified ***
Blocks provide a great way to give users a rich editing experience, but oftentimes require making compromises of how that data is stored. In this talk, we’ll go over how we can create blocks that save their data to Custom Post Types instead of block attributes. After a block has been CPTified we can then access its data in all sorts of structured ways to build features like custom archives.
PRESENTED BY: Timothy Jacobs
*** Adding Voice to Your WordPress Website ***
The JavaScript API for speech synthesis works on the most popular browsers. Larry will describe his WordPress plugin, ListenUp, which can be used for speaking post elements such as the post excerpt or the description of an image.
Hear how Larry developed the concept of this plugin, starting with a "Voice Synthesis Playground" in JavaScript and HTML, to writing a shortcode function, to hacking a plugin together.
Time permitting, Larry will introduce the active Voice Community and the various products, services and organizations working to advance Voice and conversational computing.
PRESENTED BY: Larry Aronson
