This is one of those odd needs that maybe no one will ever have but I think it’s worth documenting because you can do it. Seeing possibilities helps change how you think. While this scenario might be unique, you might have a different odd need that’s close enough that this inspires some different thoughts around […]

Gravity Forms has a great Slack addon that lets you push content from form submissions into Slack. I like it because you can centralize conversations in Slack while guiding submissions from people outside your organization. I’ve used it mainly for support requests.

Jim asked about a way to add feeds to Feed WordPress via Gravity Forms. I remember Martha did it for the OG version of DS106 but I couldn’t find the code. That led to me going through Alan’s Feed WordPress 101 and some nostalgia. Alas. After shaking off my longing for yesteryear, I figured I’d […]

That’s […]
Gravity Forms lets you turn on the media library button for the rich text editor fields but you have to do it via php. More stuff on your editor options is here. If you leave things that way, it’s nice but if you cut/paste a YouTube URL it comes in as a link rather than […]

The idea that data can flow to different places for different purposes is one of the key concepts I want people to believe in. Different technologies and different interfaces have different affordances depending on what you’re trying to do. In this case, we’ve built some online training for students. As part of that training they […]

I’ve long wanted to build more interactive digital content after being inspired by Brett Victor’s explorable explanations. I’m now finally coming to the place where my ability to build things is starting to match my desire to create them.
