For longer than Faust.js has been a project, WP Engine has had a core value of Customer Inspired. This month the Faust.js team has taken that to a new level with a process that we believe will help us better support all of our Faust.js users no matter what platform you run your code on. […]

We have worked hard to update Faust.js to be a more standardized and performant framework using Apollo Client as its base. We believe that Faust.js with Apollo is more stable and easier to maintain than Faust.js was with GQty, and we recommend that all users currently on Faust.js with GQty start planning their migration to […]

When we relaunched Faust.js at the end of 2022 we included a feature for basic telemetry to help us better understand how users are using the WordPress plugin and JavaScript framework. That telemetry is tied to WP Engine’s corporate Google accounts using Google Analytics and is strictly opt-in only to ensure absolutely no data at […]

Next.js’ App Router We’re getting really close at our own implementation […]

We’ve been quite busy these past couple of weeks with a few projects we’re working on. First and foremost is this site. When we re-launched it this summer we said that this is only the beginning and we stand by that. These past two weeks we’ve been working on a template for a “showcase” page […]

We’re back to bi-weekly updates for Faust.js. I like to think that’s a great start on talking about what is going on with the product. As we move into late-Summer and Fall, expect to see a lot more in this space, particularly on our work around Gutenberg and Next.js’ App Router implementation. We can’t wait […]

Last week we talked about this new website and how much we poured into it over the last few months. That wasn’t all we’ve been working on though.

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to write one of these posts and, as you can probably already tell from this website, a lot has changed and even more is on our roadmap. Here’s a breakdown on what we’ve been working on and what we have planned for the coming […]

You may have noticed things look a tad different around here these days – that is because the Faust.js team has completed migrating the previous version of the project’s documentation to a headless WordPress stack! 🎉 Previously, the project was hosted with Docusaurus – an open source project for building, deploying, and maintaining websites with […]

Hello folks, Terri here to give you an update on all the work the Faust.js team has been doing over the last few weeks! In addition to our DeCode presentation, we have been hard at work streamlining the Content Blocks Plugin, executing a new in-depth case study for Faust, evaluating new documentation strategies, polishing content, […]

Hi folks, Terri here! The last two weeks have been all about improvements to the React-Gutenberg Bridge experience and to the Faust Toolbar. Among other tasks to help polish these tools up, this sprint saw some great documentation additions, such as three different tutorials on how to create a block based off of core blocks, […]

It’s been a little while since I’ve had a chance to write an update post and we’ve accomplished a lot in that time. We have new releases, new features and more documentation all ready to go and we’re starting to push even that further than we ever have. Here’s how it all breaks down: Faust […]

We’re off to the races with new releases, new features, bug fixes and more. It’s been an incredibly productive two weeks for the Faust.js team and we’re just getting started!

Our first sprint of 2023 is complete and, as I write this, we’re preparing a new release of Faust.js with new hooks for TypeScript and an initial, experimental, approach to support Gutenberg Blocks.

Hello 2023! It’s been a quiet 2 weeks for the Faust team as most of us took time to be with our families for the holidays. As a result we spent the last two weeks looking at a few minor bugs and hope to have a fresh release out soon. As I write this I’m […]

Sprint 25 was a really productive one for the Faust.js team.

While we were heads down on ideas, though, we still managed to release our final bug fix […]

The last two weeks have been all about cleanup and improvements to existing Faust features. We started the sprint with 11 different issues in mind and managed to close 16 and release one new version of the Faust cli package. It was a very successful sprint. Faust.js Scaffold Our biggest release this past sprint was a […]

Progress is iterative, and that has definitely been the theme of our past two weeks as we build Faust. Rather than pushing forward on a host of new features we’re not sure if you even need we’ve been stepping back and using our support as part of WP Engineto meet with agency partners already building on Atlas and […]

With the end of Sprint 22, our team is proud to officially announce the re-release of Faust.js, WP Engine’s framework for building headless WordPress sites!

We’re 1/2 way through September and nearly finished with the first version of something completely new.

It’s going to change everything! […]

We finished Sprint 17 yesterday, our 17th 2-week Sprint of the year. Our current focus has been two-fold: first, to release a new version of Faust using Apollo as our GraphQL library and, second, to build a plan for how to best integrate Gutenberg (the block editor) into a headless site with the minimum amount […]
