Today we are excited to announce that Gatsby’s new source plugin for WordPress has launched in beta! This new release delivers major improvements to our headless WordPress integration with Gatsby and Gatsby Cloud.

Gatsby Recipes help automate common site building tasks like automate package and plugin installation. Recipes can even generate pages and code! In his Gatsby Days presentation Sam Julien, Senior Developer Advocate Engineer at Auth0, walks viewers through building a Recipe to automatically set up authentication in a Gatsby site.

Maps come in many forms, but they almost always help make data more meaningful -- and mapping apps are easier to build than you might think. Colby Fayock, Lead UX and Front End Engineer at Element 84, shows how to quickly build a compelling map application using React Leaflet and Gatsby.

The 2020 WebAIM Million survey collected data on up to 1200 different technologies used in home pages and examined the results to see if common accessibility errors corresponded with usage of different technologies. One repeatedly stood out as aligning with significantly fewer accessibility issues: Gatsby. Home pages built with Gatsby had 44% fewer detectable errors than the average.

For new front end developers, the sheer number of technologies available can be overwhelming. After Derek Murr graduated from coding bootcamp he found that Gatsby helped him get right to work building projects to help jump start his career -- instead of configuring tools.

Makenna Smutz shows you how to choose a tech stack for creating an e-commerce store from multiple services, using Gatsby to tie them all together -- for free!

With all the momentous events of recent weeks, we decided -- after a lot of discussion and thought -- to reconfigure this month’s planned Gatsby Days. Now is not the right time to take attention and space away from the Black Lives Matter movement. Transforming Gatsby Days from a live event into a video and blog content series allows us to share all the amazing speakers and learning opportunities of the live event in a way that the community can access as the time is right for each of us. Today’s post is the first in the series, presenting all the product and program announcements that we had planned for the original online event.
