What BeeLab is

BeeLab is a hands-on workshop where WordPress becomes an application platform.

  • Content and editing stay in WordPress.
  • Logic and data live in Django.
  • Docker ties everything together, reliably.

What’s inside BeeLab

WordPress Plugins

Interactive blocks and mini-apps that feel native in the editor and on the frontend — designed to inherit your theme instead of fighting it.

Django API

JWT auth, structured models, and endpoints that power plugins with real data — without turning WordPress into a backend maze.

Dev Workflow

Docker-first environments, scripts, and repeatable builds. The goal: predictable setup, clean upgrades, and easy dev → prod moves.

Plugins in the lab

A few highlights you can explore right now.

BeeGame

Interactive simulations as Gutenberg blocks (starting with Conway’s Game of Life). Frontend-only, fast, and theme-friendly.

BeeFont

A workflow-driven font builder: templates, glyphs, and a real font build pipeline — built as a WordPress app backed by Django.

An interactive evaluation tool for educators, combining WordPress, React, and Django to assess early learning competencies.
