Ymir Report #37 ā Dashboard design refresh š
Heya friend!
Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building.
INTRO
Still not feeling especially great. It varies from day to day. I've been very productive overall, but a good amount of it has been consulting work and not Ymir work.
In fact, marketing week was largely a write off. That said, I managed to finish the dashboard design refresh! So there is some movement. It's just not as much as I'd like. (I think this is just going to be a regular feeling from now on š„²)
PRODUCT

So as the report title suggests, I finished the design refresh of the dashboard. I'm very happy with the result. I discussed it in a small Twitter thread:

The goal here was to create some cohesion with the design of the dashboard. I'm using Shuffle for the broad strokes and to make sure the different screens work together. The finer detail (e.g. deployment feed) comes mostly from Tailwind UI or just some bespoke Tailwind CSS styling I did myself.
Behind the scenes, I also cleaned up a lot of the complexity with the dashboard code. This is important because the next step is to add functionality to the dashboard. Like Vapor, you should be able to do almost everything you can do with the CLI with the dashboard.
MARKETING
Marketing week ended up being "Support and consulting week". So not a lot of stuff got done sadly. I tweeted a bit. This tweet by Rarst (Andrey Savchenko) was especially funny:

Besides that, I applied to two conferences with serverless talk. I also managed to produce one YouTube video. It wasn't for the video course, but just to help with a support request. It shows how to setup WordPress multisite with Ymir.
I'm hoping I can be a bit more productive next cycle and at least do another video course video.

August is looking pretty good so far! I have a lot of active trials right now. That's great because my trial conversion rate is really good so I'm hopeful I might get through this plateau finally. š¤

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām 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 Iām 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. š 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 Iām 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! š¤£) 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...
