Ymir Report #35 — CLI performance improvements šŸš€


Heya friend!

Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building.


INTRO

Not a big cycle overall. Been busy with some new consulting work. This gave me a bit less time for Ymir.

I also took a few days off both weeks. Feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything so decided to work a bit less than usual. This is going to be a shorter email for that reason as well.


PRODUCT

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

The big change this cycle is performance improvements to the CLI. As Patrick can attest, it was a pretty big change.

I also started working on making changes to the dashboard. Some arrows that did nothing are gone. I added a page when you click on a project.

But I'm struggling with my OCD around design issues. It made me very frustrated with what I was using. I was even thinking of hiring someone.

Someone suggested Shuffle so I'm going to check that out this week.


MARKETING

Small marketing week as well. Didn't start my next article. I just did the next video in the Ymir video course.

It's not a big video. In fact, I recorded about 25 minutes of audio and this is just the first few minutes. I think I have enough for at least one more video. Maybe two.

Just didn't have the energy to do it. I also applied to speak at WooSesh. Hoping I'll get in as this would be an actual talk about Ymir a bit.


BUSINESS

Feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything this past week or so. These feelings come and go. But right now, I'm feeling it a lot.

I lost a customer I spent a lot of time helping.

June ended with a gain of a customer, but I'm on track to lose one or two this month. So still hovering around that plateau of 22-23 customers.

Thus the overwhelmed feeling.

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO This is the report I've been waiting to write for so long. Laravel support is finally here! I shipped the last part yesterday, which was the new CLI version. (You need version 2.1.0 to create a Laravel project.) This is an important milestone, but there's still work to do. The next phase is to migrate Ymir to Ymir. There's still some missing pieces for that to...

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. On February 19th, 2021, I wrote the first Ymir report. 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. šŸ™ƒ 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...
