The shadow copy was the wrong layer

Last week I set out to build two companion WordPress plugins. One would turn PDF attachments into markdown so AI agents could read them. The other would run a local vision model over every image and write a description an agent could use. Generally speaking, agents can't read PDFs or images well (although they're getting...

Draw me like one of your JSON files

In Pixel Pushing, Redux I rebuilt this site with Claude Design over a weekend and £23.84, then handed off to Claude Code for the WordPress build. One thing intrigued me when setting up the design, Claude Design's first pass was to set up a design system, you can import assets and it will set up...

ATmosphere auto-themes its Bluesky publication card from theme.json. It couldn't read mine, because my colours are `light-dark()` and there's no single value to pull out.

Markdown my words

Markdown for Agents and Statistics is now a WordPress.org plugin — pre-generated `.md` files served to AI crawlers via content negotiation, with stats on who's actually reading.

Pixel Pushing, Redux

Claude Design dropped on a Friday. I played. This site redesign is the result - some time over the weekend, £23.84, and a lot of thoughts about design systems, source of truth, and whether the tension between design and engineering has really gone anywhere.

I saw this post from Ben Goldacre a while back about enabling people to make radio shows. So I built it.

I was listening to an excellent podcast from The Economist recently (Boss Class) around vibe coding and one thing really stood out. One of the theories / reasons why Software Development seems to have been one of the main focuses of AI developments over the last year or so is that unlike other industries it...

🦋 Is this thing on? 🦋

WordPress-atmosphere is a new plugin from Automattic that publishes your WordPress posts to AT Protocol via native OAuth 2.1. Each post creates two records — a Bluesky social post and a site.standard.document containing the full content, cover image, and tags. Here's how I set it up on a self-hosted PDS.
