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.

BUSINESS
You can always view Ymir's up-to-date business metrics at ymirapp.com/open. They're updated every 10 minutes.
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 So September has come and gone! It's been really busy, but not in a publicly visible way. There isn't much I can share or talk about yet so this will be a shorter update. For example, I'm working very hard on the Ymir CLI. But unfortunately, the technical debt there has really caught up to me. So a lot of the work is still ongoing, I'll talk about it a bit...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Fall is almost here! August has been super busy with a lot of work going on behind the scenes. I'm happy to say that Ymir now supports SQS queues. š„³ The feature is live and documented in the configuration reference and change log. There isn't much else to do with it for now. I'm not adding SQS support for WordPress yet, so this is really for Laravel support....
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO If you're in the summer hemisphere, I hope you're enjoying your summer (or your winter down there! š ) I've had an amazing summer with lots of friends visiting. It's also been very busy with consulting work and Ymir! Laravel support continues to progress. I think I'm finally done with most of the refactoring of the Laravel app. I've begun working on supporting...
