It's so weird. The most part of my life I was a Full Stack Web Developer. HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, MySQL and so on. But I was always more happy on the frontend side. Especially CSS.
I work with Laravel for 6 years now and to see how easy and streamlined work can be really pulled me to the backend side.
I'm so hyped when I start the work on something while I'm creating the backend. And then I have to implement the frontend and I just have no motivation anymore.
I hope this is just a phase as I really enjoy to have full control over everything. The thing is: I love to optimize frontend stuff. But I don't really like to create it from scratch anymore.

We're looking for a new Wordpress developer at CoffeeGeek. Global location isn't important, but your skills, reliability, discretion and availability are.
We are looking for someone who
has a deep and full understanding of the entire Wordpress infrastructure, back end, multi-site usage, and all the associated coding, css, custom theme work etc.
Has a good knowledge and understanding of Elementor Pro. We use Elementor Pro and several plug in packages on CoffeeGeek, and have need of some custom work within Elementor.
working, day to day knowledge and experience with Cpanel, PHP and all the normal server-side stuff that comes along with Wordpress and managing a busy website.
The usual "back end" knowledge an experience in website management, including CDNs, site security, back up, etc.
Some SEO experience, the more the better (especially staying on top of current trends
Some design experience. This isn't crucial, as we have a WP / Elementor designer separate from our WP Developer position. But you knowing some ins and outs of basic design is beneficial
VERY IMPORTANT: Good availability. I don't expect turnaround in an hour after I send a job request, but responses within 24hr, and normal availability for several hours per week for maintenance / bug chasing (and also larger blocks of time for bigger projects) is expected and required.
VERY IMPORTANT: you have the ability and desire to make sure all the work you do for us is fully tested and bug checked before signing off on the work. We do have a dev server to test things on, but we will rely on you to deliver finished, generally bug free work.
Ideally, you are creative on the technical side, are good at hunting down bugs, innovative with fixes, and know how to get the most out of a Wordpress environment.
you don't have to love coffee, but it would not hurt your application process! :)
I am willing to pay a monthly retainer plus a preferred hourly rate (billed once a month / when tasks are completed and signed off) or a slightly higher straight hourly rate (no retainer) for your work, payment competitive in the US and Canada marketplace.
If interested, please DM me here with your email address, and I will send you more details and ask for your CV, examples of your work, and your company website information.
I am based in Canada, PDT time, and most of the work contact times would be between 1pm and 10pm PDT time.
@coffeegeek I can recommend my friend Tony Zeoli who has a Wordpress consulting business (he is based on the east coast). He maintains his own Wordpress plug-ins and has done consulting for companies large and small on Wordpress. Pretty sure he could meet all of your requirements (unsure if he has specifically used the plug-in you are using but doubt he would have a steep learning curve)
CSS built-in nesting is awkward, static variables can be useful actually, and what's the point of dropping a consistent API with good DX if we're still transforming our stylesheets anyways?
Chaining together interoperable PostCSS modules to accomplish half of what Sass can do is nearly impossible.
After reading this, checked my existing styling as processed through autoprefixer, found the vendor prefixes that had been added, and manually added them to my styling — so it now doesn’t require any additional tools for cross-browser compatibility.
I think in English when you write formal text you spell the numbers until 10. From there on you just write the number. #Laravel can help with that using the 'Number::spell' helper.
@stefan Let me see if I get this right: the fediverse could standardize a scheme (e.g. fediverse://..) and then on iOS/Android all apps would need to add handlers for these schemes.
Then we could create these fediverse links when we detect a mobile device or even use something like
