where is code hosted

[Harold]

HoverCraft is a free open source theme from LittleBizzy

The code is available on GitHub:

https://github.com/littlebizzy/hovercraft

[Amber]

if it’s on GitHub how to update new versions?

[Randy]

You should install the Git Updater plugin, it’s free and HoverCraft supports it. There should be a WP Admin prompt if HoverCraft doesn’t detect Git Updater installed.

okay, Why is it using GitHub not WordPress.org theme directory seems difficult

HoverCraft extends the philosophy of SlickStack, with the goal of encouraging free speech, portability, and stability, etc.

Philosophy

WordPress.org has a long history of censorship, favoritism, randomly banning or suspending plugins and themes when they have personal beef with the authors, and other drama

[Sandra]

GitHub rocks

any serious FOSS developer should have their code there

you can also mirror your code to GitLab!

[Carl]

you can also mirror your code to GitLab

It’s not free anymore though… however, mirror GitLab to GitHub is still free.

[Natalie]

SlickStack.io is now using the free HoverCraft theme FYI

if you want a live demo 😉

[Linda]

the homepage hero options are pretty “slick” in HoverCraft!

[Elizabeth]

It’s getting better, still has some bugs.

[Joan]

Oxygen Builder WordPress plugin, is it really that bad?

lmaooo

[Rachel]

Lots and lots of new features past several months guys… the janky off-canvas menu has been replaced by a JS overlay mobile menu let us know if you like it or not

[Marilyn]

good…

WordPress.org harassed Jesse for years, GitHub is much better for hosting your WP themes if you don’t want the incels from Automattic to harass you!

[Bobby]

who is jesse?

[Christina]

Hovercraft dev: https://jessenickles.com/projects/hovercraft

[Anna]

Aww that’s too bad, I too have had past-problems, the moderators on WordPress.org seem ineffective and unprofessional in my opinion. It appears to me, they also promote a specific agenda, engaging in significant filtering/affiliation practices.

If you step out of line they beat you up too.

Scumbag stuff…

[Gabriel]

Scumbag stuff

Chief Scumbag:

Matt Mullenweg trash talking FOSS contributors on Twitter

[Lauren]

Update:

You can now install/reinstall/update the HoverCraft theme in SlickStack using the following command: ss install hovercraft

no more waiting for the Git Updater threshold limit to refresh!
