Shortcake 2016. Content Blocks of Shortcakes

Its a New year, and a new focus for shortcake. We met today on #feature-shortcode to catch up on feedback from the community summit and WordCampUS, as well as to chat about whats up next.

General feedback is that people are interested in what we’ve done, but there was some concern about how we’re storing data, as well as the general UI and how it is coupled with the media library and TinyMCE.

The technical limitations of the current Shortcode API are something we’ve run into. There have been a number of proposed solutions; from a new syntax, to storing structured data in post meta or as a custom post type. However the purpose of Shortcake has always been to make these decisions less critical. The biggest challenge for us right now is to come up with a really great interface and user experience.

For 2016, we’re decided to focus on creating a great way to manage complex blocks of content, implemented using shortcodes.
