Ymir Report #59 ā WCUS
Heya friend!
Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building.
INTRO
This will be a short one. I just got back from WCUS. I spent all of last week in DC so didn't get to work much and the week before was still heavy in consulting.
I'm also exhausted because Carl likes to party and stay up late š
I know I keep repeating myself on this, but I mostly feel like Ymir does progress as a business when I go to WordCamps. I met a lot of key people on this trip. I had some really good meetings (and scheduled follow-up meetings!)
PRODUCT
You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog.
No work on the product this cycle. I'm thinking about what I want to work on next. Livewire v3 just came out. I was waiting for that to go back to work on the dashboard.
Long term, I really want Ymir to have an experience that's closer to Vercel. That requires that I invest a good amount of time on the dashboard.
MARKETING
My only goal for this cycle was to create a headstart project using Ymir. I'm happy to say that I got it done! You can find it here.

I also shared it on Twitter.

Really excited about the business. Each WordCamp feels like a flywheel where I'm slowly making more of the right connections for Ymir. This time felt like a really big spin of that flywheel.
I'm sure it'll take months for the relationships to grow. But it's still better than not having them. That was so much of my challenge before. I couldn't find the right people to talk to about Ymir or who might be interested in it.

I'm still far from working on this full time. It sucks, but I'll take the high right now. Stand by for the next low in a month or so š¤£

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Slowly getting back into the groove of things. I'm not working as hard as before the burnout. I still have days where I work for an hour and that fries my brain. I still get the itch to work on the product though! So I've been just doing smaller chunks of work. That still lets me ship things like PostgreSQL support! PRODUCT You can always view the history of...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām 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 ā Ymir on Ymir". (That's a lot of "Ymir" in the same sentence! š¤£) 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 Iām 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. š Following the consulting work, I flew out to Phoenix for PressConf. I'll talk more about it later. But Raquel created an exceptional...
