Ymir Report #77 ā New agency partner: 40Q!
|
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! š¦šØš¦ I want to keep this report positive today. I'll discuss the WordPress situation and Ymir once I've had time to process things some more. It's been a lot for everyone. On happier news, I'm delighted to say I have my second agency partner: 40Q! We launched their first project last month. The real test for the platform was last week and everything went amazingly well! š„³ I'll talk more about it further down! PRODUCT You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog. Consulting work really picked up and I'll be quite busy until American Thanksgiving. I still want to do a few Ymir things here and there, but I have to focus on that work for now. MARKETING Everything Ymir is on hold with the consulting work. That said, I want to work with 40Q to get a case study up as fast as possible. BUSINESS You can always view Ymir's up-to-date business metrics at ymirapp.com/open. They're updated every 10 minutes. I'm thrilled to have a second agency partner! This was a multiyear process with them. A lot of agencies are interested about Ymir when we talk about it at WordCamps. The challenge is always about finding the right project and client to use it. With 40Q, we finally had that opportunity with Open House New York. It's a once a year event where there's ticket sale (October 8th this year) where TONS of people hammer the site. Last year, they were on the largest non-enterprise plan of their host and the whole thing blew up. Because Open House New York is a non-profit, they're pretty price sensitive. So paying that much for hosting all year long and not have it perform on the one day they needed it to was a huge issue. I'm so happy the ticket sale went through with no issues this year! š„³ These are all things I'll cover in the case study. āMindsize also brought another client last month, and they've loved the product. All these little wins make me really happy. š Especially with all the other stuff going on. Carl |

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...
