One-click Builder Launch from Wordpress Admin

Feature Requests / Improvements
1

This is purely QOL request. I’d like to be able to login in wp admin and in one click load the builder, maybe have an option in the settings to allow one-click builder launch from clicking the bricks menu logo.

but… to build what? i mean, do you want to launch it without actually editing anything?

you can ‘edit with bricks’ from the pages list, or from the templates. if you want to launch it and then choose pages or templates, i can’t see a major improvement. but i may have misunderstood something.

Yes I want to launch the builder and not actually build anything. I just love the launching process, makes me feel wonderful.

As I said, purely qol, I would prefer to login to wp admin and open the builder than find a specific page and click edit with bricks. As all pages can easily be selected for edit within the builder I can find the page there. Imo the page search feature in bricks is superior to the equivalent in wordpress. Same goes for templates - much more easy to filter in the builder.

It could default to the home page, or have a selector pop-up (similar to the current template type popup that for some reason appears when opening a template for edit)

that should work, it adds a link to the top admin menu

// add a link to the WP Toolbar
function custom_toolbar_link($wp_admin_bar) {
    $args = array(
        'id' => 'open_bricks_directly',
        'title' => 'Open Bricks', 
        'href' => '/?bricks=run', 
        'meta' => array(
            'class' => 'open_bricks_directly', 
            'title' => 'Open Bricks on Homepage'
            )
    );
    $wp_admin_bar->add_node($args);
}
add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'custom_toolbar_link', 999);
