Fixing an unfortunate side-effect from some block performance work, WooCommerce block-editor emails now render product blocks when sent by background jobs. Product collections that looked right in the preview no longer disappear from the email customers receive. github.com/woocommerce/wooco…

Povilas from the WooCommerce POS team would love to hear from you! If you’ve tried our POS solution, are curious about how it works, or have ideas about what we could improve, this is a great chance to share your thoughts and ask questions. There’s an AMA happening on Reddit right now, but feel free to join the conversation and drop your questions here as well!
In Málaga with the Woo mobile payments team for our meetup 👋 Opened a Reddit AMA about WooCommerce POS, Tap to Pay, and in-person selling with Woo. Ask us anything: reddit.com/r/woocommerce/com…

WooCommerce POS now runs on iPhone in the UK. 📲 With Tap to Pay on iPhone, the phone itself acts as the card reader. Available for UK-based merchants on iPhones running iOS 26 or later: woocommerce.com/posts/uk-iph…

Our awesome Head of YouTube, @pootlepress, showed us how the combination of WordPress + AI together give us superpowers. We got to learn about how he built his website in an hour using both! And that’s on vibe coding 😎

I like this! Jetpack has been killing it ⚡️
Before and after on the @jetpack Stats card in wp-admin ⚡ One date range for the whole thing instead of four chart tabs and a 7-day list. Views and visitors as real numbers, not just bars. Modernized design, with subtle animation. Still in review. Anything you'd change? 👀

What if you could generate a site with Lovable, Base44, v0, Claude, ChatGPT, etc, and import into WordPress as a real block theme? Oh wait you can github.com/Automattic/static…

Much food for thought in this thread. Aligns closely with what I've been thinking about around this lately as well. Also, agree that in the short-term we're still not at the point for humanless code reviews (especially for critical flows in apps). But I do see that day coming.
There's been a ton of talk about the role of humans in code review, and when and how humans should be signing off on changes. I believe that, long-term, humans have no role in routinely reviewing code.
