Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Does compiled React count as source code?Thanks, that’s what I was looking for. For some reason I just couldn’t find the contact info.
Hi!
This looks like the unminified bundle to me. I’m assuming there’s a build step before it that converts the original source files into the bundle. In particular, it looks like you’re using JSX here, am I right? I suppose this might satisfy the WordPress requirements, but probably not the GPL ones. I guess it is technically what I asked for, but it seems I wasn’t thorough enough with my request.
The reason for this post in the first place was because I want to contribute improvements to the plugin and even if I manage to make them on the provided code, I doubt you’d be able to merge in any changes if I sent you the diff on the bundle.
So I’d like to to ask you if you would be willing to provide the original source code (i.e. the source files before any build step and including the build configurations), possibly on a site like GitHub, so I and other developers would be able to make modifications properly and allow you to easily integrate any that you liked into the plugin.
You have yourself quite possibly the best Gutenberg post block plugin on this site, but it of course has some flaws and missing features. As it stands, your plugin is already under the GPL so anyone is allowed to modify and distribute it. But you are losing out on those modifications which would ultimately benefit you as well.
I, for example, need support for custom post types with custom taxonomies. This is currently impossible with this plugin and so I intended to modify the plugin to make it possible and publish the modified source, which you could then pull into the plugin so everyone can benefit from it. Instead, without the actual source, I will either have to make the changes in the bundle and never update it again, or make my own plugin from scratch as I haven’t found any others that are even close to this good.
