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¤£

INTRO Unless you've been hiding under a rock, I'm sure you're aware of the PHP security vulnerability that dropped last Wednesday! It was a stressful day for many people. For me, it wasn't so much. I'd been working on automating a lot of things with the runtime already so that AI could work autonomously on it. Once PHP released the versions with the fixes, my agents...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO A bit late with the report. It was Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday! š¦ That said, it's been a busy two weeks! The redesign work continues. I shipped the new Ymir documentation site. There's only the blog left to do. I've also started working on the product again. I'm still in discussion around bringing in help with sales. PRODUCT You can always view the history...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Things have been moving a lot since the Jason podcast. I've been trying to maintain momentum since then. I'm grateful to AI because I'm juggling a lot of things right now. š I'd been working on a redesign for Ymir. That launched last week for the marketing site. I still have to do the blog and the documentation site. I'm still adding pages and fleshing things...
