Hi folks,

We are looking for a New Zealand native speaker currently living in or heading to Hangzhou who would be interested in doing some casual, conversational English training for our 9-year-old son.

Our goal is to prep him for a short-stay integration into a New Zealand primary school (Year 4–5 level) in about 6–12 months. Because of this, we are strictly focusing on listening and speaking skills over writing. He needs to get used to the unique Kiwi accent, understand common classroom routines/instructions, and pick up some everyday playground chat so he can make friends easily.

What we are looking for:

• A native speaker from New Zealand or Australia(to help him normalize the accent and learn local slang/school terms).
• Someone patient, energetic, and enthusiastic about casual, activity-based learning (e.g., roleplaying classroom scenarios, playing with LEGO, simple games).
• Prior teaching experience is a plus but absolutely not mandatory if you are great with kids.

Details:

• Schedule & Timeline: Completely flexible and negotiable. Casual hours that can fit around your schedule.
• Location: Hangzhou (Specific district/neighborhood can be discussed in DM).
• Remuneration: Competitive hourly rate, negotiable based on background.

If you are a Kiwi looking for a rewarding, casual side-gig, or if you have a friend in the local expat community you could point me toward, please drop a comment or send me a direct message.

Cheers!

Who hates the WP ACF setup process?

I’ve been messing with this Live CMS plugin and i gotta say the versioning thing is the part that actually doesn’t suck

it’s this wordpress plugin, basically lets you edit shit inline on the frontend instead of dying inside gutenberg.

You simply mark fields with html comments like <!-- lcms:text hero_title --> and it makes them clickable in orange fields.

but the versioning? that’s where it gets interesting.

Every time you hit publish it writes your json draft to the db and dumps a timestamped snapshot to your WP site files, yes, double secured your contents, and made portable!

There’s a little clock icon in the toolbar, click it, you see all the old versions, preview them, restore one. it

Inline edit with versioning

Actually works. reset button is clutch too — screwed up your draft? reset throws away the json and pulls the last published db state back. Saved my ass twice this week the whole thing is stored as json files instead of acf.

You can version control it. not perfect, the code is kinda messy in places, but after years of watching clients butcher pages in elementor i’ll take it.

Appreciate anyone could comment this feature.

Not trying to replace WordPress admin or builders. More like reducing the friction between “see content” and “edit content”. Clients scared to touch Gutenberg entirely.

So I started building a lightweight inline editing approach:
Click directly on the live page → edit content there.

Curious how other devs/agencies handle this problem today without turning the site into a support burden.
