Ymir Report #23 — Off for the holidays


Heya friend!

INTRO

Happy holidays!

This is going to be a pretty short report. I'm taking some time off for the holidays. I might work a bit on Ymir, but it'll be by choice or to do support.

I plan on starting back on the second week of January. So it might be a month before the next report.

Otherwise, it's been a quiet cycle.

PRODUCT

You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog.

I spent most of the cycle just wrapping up the work on the CloudFront cache invalidation. I had quite a few bugs with it and released some fixes throughout the week. But it seems to be working fine now! 🤞


MARKETING

I've been working on a huge CloudFront guide. It's done and ready to go! I decided that to hold off publishing it until next year.

Business is continuing to grow this month. I've had a few trials. All, but one converted so far. There's one more left that converts on December 30th. If that works out, then I'll be at 17 subscribers :)

I had in mind that I'd try to do a report on February 19th to celebrate the five-year milestone. As you can see, I wasn't able to do it. 🙃 The reason was that I wrapped up my gigantic 14,000 word year in review two days before. I was and still am quite drained from the endeavour. 2025 was an eventful year for me...

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO I've been hard at work trying to wrap up Laravel support. I'm close enough that I can start talking about it and marketing it. (Yes, marketing! 🤣) I started a waitlist so that I can contact anyone who's interested when it's shipped in beta. My goal is to migrate Ymir in March if all goes well. PRODUCT You can always view the history of Ymir's product...

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO The march towards Laravel support continues apace! I'm happy to say that I wrapped up the rewrite of the CLI and released version 2.0. This was a massive amount of work. I could only do it this fast with the help of AI.I've now shifted back to consulting. The next sprint is going to be focused on getting Laravel support officially into beta. 🥳 PRODUCT You can...
