Ymir Report #76 ā WCUS & WPDrama
|
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Heya! It's been a week since I came back from WCUS. I think it was one of the best venues I've been to. I had a really great time, and it felt good to catch up with friends. A few parties showed a lot of interest around my consulting work. So that was good! The whole mood of the conference was soured by Matt's Q&A session. Without rehashing the whole drama, Matt said things about WP Engine that were quite extreme. Since then, this has consumed the attention of a lot of the community. At this point, I'm pretty tired of it. I'm just happy I didn't call Ymir something with WP in it. š PRODUCT You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog. Lots of consulting work in September on top of the travel. This limited my Ymir work. I did some bug fixing for the CLI and some internal fixing of my test suite. With all the travel done until Cloudfest next year, I hope to spend some time on features now. MARKETING Quiet on the marketing front as well. I did a lot of networking at WCUS to plant some seeds with agencies. However, that takes time to grow and develop. But speaking of seeds, I have one that's about to flourish! I hope to talk about it next update. But if all goes well, we want to apply to show the project off at the showcase day of WCUS next year! BUSINESS You can always view Ymir's up-to-date business metrics at ymirapp.com/open. They're updated every 10 minutes. Business is stable at the moment. If all goes well, I should have a bit of growth in October. It's also the end of my fiscal year today, so it's time to work on taxes š Carl |

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Big update today! I recorded the podcast with Jason Cohen last week. (It's not out yet since there's a backlog.) It wasn't a pleasant experience, but we came out of the 3h session with a game plan! That game plan is: Ymir for Agencies The old pricing page is now gone. The $39/month plan is gone. I've removed all the self-serve ways to upgrade your plan. I'll...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO The last few weeks have been busy with the neurodivergence talk I gave last week at Decoupled Days. I've been working on it for the past few months. But I had to wrap up the companion article (you can read it here) and do the slide deck. I'm really happy with how it all turned out. This was my first time in a while using AI outside of programming. The...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO We're finally here! Yesterday, I used the World Cup final as a cover to perform the migration of Ymir off of Laravel Vapor. (Shows you how invested I was in it š ) I'd been working on this for the past few weeks, so everything went smoothly, including the MySQL to PostgreSQL migration. It's a bittersweet ending for me. Ymir only exists because Taylor built...
