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 It's been a longer than I'd liked since the last update. Unfortunately, I had someone close to me pass away two weeks ago. They were in their 30s, and it was unexpected. I'll talk more about it when I do my year in review. I spent a lot of time the past two weeks with their family. The time I had left, I used to work for consulting clients. So there hasn't...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO So I'm back from CloudFest. I'm really happy with the experience overall. I'm not sure if it'll be worth it financially. That said, I'll definitely go back for the hackathon at the very least. The hackathon was such a great experience. It was my first one, and I was so blown away by it. Joost did a small write up on it that I found great. From a business...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO We did it fam! I finally have the second Ymir case study published. š„³ It's been a mad two weeks for me with Ymir. I've basically decided to go all in with supporting project types outside WordPress. I was aiming for Drupal next, but things are moving in Laravel land so I'm thinking of doing Laravel first. (More on that later.) Radicle support hasn't launched...
