Ymir Report #55 — Pricing change lands TOMORROW


Heya friend!

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


INTRO

This is going to be a short update. I flew back from Greece last week. It's been back to back long holiday in Canada. (That's why this update is a bit delayed. I'm taking a bit off today šŸ˜…)

The pricing changes are almost done in the main Ymir application. I still need to have to run the entire test suite with the changes. This takes over 10h. But it should be done tomorrow so you have until then to resubscribe or subscribe to get the old unlimited plan.

Outside of that, I haven't had time to work on anything else.


PRODUCT

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

Like I said, still working on the pricing changes. Once that's done, I'll be going back to doing some small improvements here and there. Looking at doing some work updating CloudFront configuration to support Brotli compression as well as Origin Shield.


MARKETING

No marketing work this week. Recording a podcast tomorrow. I have another one that should drop soon with Remkus. He mentions it in this WordCamp Europe recap podcast.

It was fun listening to it because Dave met me for the first time. But I like that he mentioned it was good to see me build in public. 🄰


BUSINESS

You can always view Ymir's up-to-date business metrics at ymirapp.com/open. They're updated every 10 minutes.

Too early to tell the impact of the pricing change. I've had 5 sign ups (5 new, 1 reactivation) from people wanting to take advantage of the grandfathered unlimited plan. I'm hoping this gives me a baseline subscription income.

There might be some partnership news about the agency plan by the next update. We'll see how that goes!

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. This isn't the hundredth report I was planning to write. I wrote my previous report so sure I was close to the finish line of moving off Vapor. I was so happy that I'd nail the timing. The title wrote itself, "Ymir Report #100 — Ymir on Ymir". (That's a lot of "Ymir" in the same sentence! 🤣) But life is nothing but full of irony. The day after I sent that report, my...

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO Been a little while since the last report! Unfortunately, not much has happened since the last update. I got a pretty nasty cold that knocked me out for more than a week. I then had to shift to consulting work to pay my bills. šŸ˜… Following the consulting work, I flew out to Phoenix for PressConf. I'll talk more about it later. But Raquel created an exceptional...

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...
