  • Crypto and Coin

    I make some time to explore publishing platform and social media in crypto space. Recently it was expanding and added few exiting features that ride the meme coins wave.

    Originally, I just wanted to visit this publishing platform caller Mirror. It was kinda similar like Substack but the underlying stack was based on crypto. It was stored in blockchain, NFT, yada yada yada. You got the idea. I understand it was bought by similar platform called Paragraph, which using crypto stack too.

    While Mirror has few interesting features, per ChatGPT, eventually it will merge into Paragraph. I was advised to use Paragraph instead investing my time in Mirror. Registered in Paragraph. Smooth experience. So not yet reach Substack level in term of functionality and features. But I believe sooner or later they will add all those things that Substack has.

    What’s interesting is that, recently they activated this coin features. It turns your post (or stories as they call it) into a single (meme) coin. Which means EACH post is tradeable. User can buy the coin by “Support” the post. It set default price for you to buy; either $1, $5 and $10. You then receive the coin and obviously you can sell the coin afterwards.

    The same goes to Zora. I take Zora as same like Instagram. The UI or layout looks like underground zine. My feed full of AI generated content. Not really pretty. Zora need to do some curation. Maybe update their algo. Zora did the same thing. The turned EACH post as coin and tradeable. Even better, each user profile now is also coin and tradeable. Amazing.

    Doom scrolling will give it benefit finally. You just need to deposit some ETH into your wallet and be the early adopter.

    But I don’t know what the value and benefit here. There’s millions of tradeable coin now. The meme coins with thousands of launchpad still not enough. It just feels like this going to make users keep on chasing that carrot without any finishing line. Are we really that desperate to make money? (I am yes actually :P)

    Per what they say, the intention is noble. I have no issue with it. For some users its true and really bring value to them. But what will be the impact then? On social, on economic and life value. Probably in the coming generation, their value is based on their profile market cap.

    Now this coin feature was shipped, I hope the platform could lower their priority on this and pivot their focus on something else.

    I think the best way to play this game is to buy the platform’s official coin. Then wait. Chasing the coin inside the platform will not go anywhere. But I still want to play. As a social experiment. And let’s see what’s the result later.

  • Experimenting with template

    Played around with the template in this 2025 theme. Block theme kinda life saver for non-coders. If you managed to understand the block purpose and how it could play well with your theme and what it could do to achieve what you want it will do well.

    What i could suggest is, dont touch the original template that comes with the theme. Make a duplicate or create new one and copy paste from the original them start from there. If anything happened, you have something to revert back into.

    I updated the status template here, thinking of create separate template for articles. Simply achievable, just need to spend time to test to see if its fit with what you want. What bother me is this cache plugin, which make my changes dont really reflect in real time. Sometimes i need to purge all first then i could see the changes. Maybe i could just uninstall this cache plugin first the re-install back. Maybe i could just install this one plugin that bypass all this cache thing.

  • Can’t wait

    Been working on this for hours now, but it still not working didnt give the result that i was expecting, time to put a stop, break. Maybe gonna give. Technically got what i want but its good to have this thing that i’m crashing my head on.

  • How many attempts

    Normally how many attempts it will take for you in working with chatgpt or grok to get your code working? the challenges with them in working with wordpress plugins is they tend to create their own function and not using the official/native function that comes with the plugin. They just assume the function by naming the function with the plugin’s name. The tricks sometimes we need to find the plugin documentation link and include in your prompt (to get them read/scan it and use the correct function). Or sometimes i just past the whole plugin’s code in the prompt to make it work.

  • LifterLMS Plugin

    I’m currently working on this site that primarily using LifterLMS plugin. I’m trying to turn most the event, trigger and activity in the plugin programmatically. For example, to complete a lesson, normally user need to click the “Mark Complete” button to make the system mark that particular lesson Completed. But I want user to do certain action within the lesson then once that action completed, the lesson also will automatically mark as Completed. ChatGPT being quite helpful. I got Grok to help as well.

  • Sin

    When you spent almost 5 hours to create that dream tool that you just mumbled about last 60 min, then out of sudden all you hard word got wiped out due to, i dont know what happened. Make you question what sin you have done that make you deserve this kind of surprise and make you question your existence.

  • Excel VBA – Report time tracker

    I need a tool to record time spent for reports that my team is working on, and the tool need to record time, preferably, specific for each report and segregate between time spent during office hour and out of office hour. At the end decided to just create one using Excel and VBA with the help, of course, ChatGPT. Its working fine but the concern was on sharing and collaboration part. Seems like if i put that excel file in Sharepoint, there’s potential conflict in data entry and user maybe cannot insert data at the same time. What a shame though.

  • Premium features

    With vibe coding seems like lots of premium and pro features of plugins are achievable. Thinking of moral and ethical but what can we say because it is simply achievable now. Creating clone plugin also from scratch and from fork also is no longer impossible for non coder like me.

  • Happy Teachers Day

    Tbh i only remember 1 or 2 teachers from school; those that only gave impact on my life. When friends from school talked about teachers i don’t really participate. Because i dont really remember much about them. Some that i still remember already passed away. Obviously, i think if i ever meet one now, none of them will remember me. Despite i was one of top students in school. But nevertheless happy teachers day for those celebrating today. Done some flower wrapping for my kids to bring to school for their teacher.
