Hello!
My name is Alex Mansfield and I’m developing tools for WordPress developers. I’m addressing pain points that have come up in my own development projects with WordPress, and I’m interested in hearing about the struggles that you are facing as well. Here’s what I’ve been working on:
Themes
Longview is a WordPress theme developed from the ground up with developers in mind. It comes with automated task running, seven layouts, three content formats, nine widget areas, and so much more.
Libraries to speed development and improve quality
Menu Object (mo.js) is a Javascript library for handling multi-level navigation menus on all devices and screen sizes.
Cadence is a CSS library for perfecting vertical rhythm.
Cadence Check is a WordPress plugin that makes it easy to check vertical rhythm by displaying a background grid equal to the default line-height of whatever theme is currently active.
Comprehensive Developer Guides
When I say comprehensive, I mean it. I dare you to find tutorials more complete than these.
