Make Beans AMP-compatible out-of-the-box.

[hellofromtonya]

Let’s make Beans AMP ready as part of the progressive theming initiatives. This change will require us to:

1. integrate AMP tags into the HTML
2. add the theme support add_theme_support( ‘amp’ );
3. audit the compiled assets file sizes

Just listing a few examples of adding AMP support

We'll have some work to do for integrating AMP tags into the HTML. Here are some examples of AMP-compatible themes:

• Travel by XWP
• WP Rig by Morton

Here are some talks on AMP by Alberto (Google) and @ThierryA:

• AMP Stories & AMP in WordPress
• Make your WordPress site progressive at Google I/O '18
• Fast by default: AMP powering WordPRess at AMP Conf 2018

Drum roll please...one of the leads to AMP and WordPress is our founder, @ThierryA! Cool!

I try to understand what AMP in the theme would mean. Have not worked with AMP so far.

This looks interesting: Pull request to make the standard themes AMP ready. AMP for WordPress required the Plugin for WordPress, right?
