Ymir Report #99 ā PressConf šµ
|
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Been a little while since the last report! Unfortunately, not much has happened since the last update. I got a pretty nasty cold that knocked me out for more than a week. I then had to shift to consulting work to pay my bills. š Following the consulting work, I flew out to Phoenix for PressConf. I'll talk more about it later. But Raquel created an exceptional event. I look forward to going back to it! PRODUCT You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog. Not much is going on with the product right now. My current goal is to move Ymir to Ymir. There are a few things missing for this to happen. First, I'd like to add Postgres support. I'm thinking about moving from MySQL to Postgres as part of the migration. I'm still not 100% sure, so if you have any opinion on this, please let me know! Second, there are some infrastructure upgrades I'd like to do as well. My goal is to use this migration as an opportunity to put Ymir in a better position to handle future growth. It's definitely an upfront investment since it'll probably triple my AWS costs. MARKETING PressConf showed once more that I'm at my best when I can do in-person networking. I didn't have high hopes that the conference would be useful to Ymir. I'm glad that I was wrong! This doesn't change the fact that I need some way to do marketing outside of events like PressConf. Especially since I'm not doing well enough financially to travel this year. PressConf is currently the only international event I'm going to attend. (I wasn't even supposed to, but Raquel wouldn't accept it! š ) There won't be any WordCamp Europe this year, sadly. š BUSINESS You can always view Ymir's up-to-date business metrics at ymirapp.com/open. They're updated every 10 minutes. PressConf brought new leads for the BuiltFast partnership. I haven't been talking much about it, but it's still moving along. It's been slower than we'd like getting this going, but excited for some things I'll be able to talk about soon! š I still continue to think that the moment is here for serverless technology. It's been really interesting having this thesis for things and seeing it actually happen now. I had conversations at PressConf about topics I was talking about at WordCamp Asia 2023. Carl |
Ymir
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...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress & PHP serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO A bit of a delay for this report. My dad was in the hospital last week, and I spent a lot of time there. Luckily, he's doing a lot better now. š It did impact things. I didn't work on Ymir as much, even though it's the only thing I have going right now. That said, this created enough of a delay that the podcast I recorded with Jason Cohen is out now!...
