We have been strongly advocating leveraging WordPress packages to build plugins and apps. From using them on client projects to side projects we have embraced them as much as possible. We even shared our thoughts on the same at WordCamp Mumbai. As part of constant learning and discovery, we encourage our team to build things they want to. A few months back we were working with one of our client and they had this hard requirement of having a go-to top-button plugin with flexible customization. We vetted a few plugins and thought it was a good opportunity to build something…

No denying the fact that we love WordPress playground a lot at LUBUS and have been incorporating it into our day-to-day work.

For example, to spin Playground with the Gutenberg plugin one needs to simply pass the plugin slug to Playground https://playground.wordpress.net/ ?plugin=gutenberg. Apart from this Playground supports several other https://wordpress.github.io/wordpress-playground/query-api/. Remembering or crafting URLs with this query parameter may not be intuitive for non-tech folks. To make this more user-friendly, we…
