I create things on the web. Web Creator? @BookingSite @FlavoryApp

No, it's not, looks like shit.

@unkonfinedkid Physics? In a superhero movie?

It feels wrong that no open source models are here.

[Glenton 🇯🇲 / Website Builder @Glenton]

The most profitable company in AI isn’t an AI company. OpenAI paid Microsoft $17.2 billion in 2025, including $10.5 billion just to train its models. The picks-and-shovels guy wins again. OpenAI rents its own existence.

There is no way this is what your UI looks like on mobile in 2026. @sugarcalendar this is terrible and needs to be fixed ASAP.

@billehwayne @streetfighthard Then don't street fight; violence has no rules.

Google may have just killed websites, and by extension, WordPress.

No matter the industry or product. If you're selling in a marketplace, sooner or later, all marketplaces will turn against you. They need to grow revenue; the only way to do that is to take it from your margin.

[Syed Balkhi @syedbalkhi]

Envato recently raised marketplace fees to 50%.

If you are selling WordPress plugins, themes , or other digital products on Envato marketplace, you should consider switching to @eddwp as your platform to save money.

We use it for our own businesses and it's a battle tested platform for years.

We have everything you need from Software Licensing, subscription, access control, and more to help you build a sustainable long term business.

Not to mention @cklosowski is an incredible leader and is always making the platform better ❤️

Liquid Web @LiquidWeb has been around far too long to understand the WordPress space. But forget WordPress for a second: taking all those websites down and redirecting them to Liquid Web without a 301 redirect for each URL is a disaster. Worst of all, y’all are clearly not product people.

[Glenton 🇯🇲 / Website Builder @Glenton]

@jonschr @syedbalkhi @wpcharitable @sugarcalendar Their social media is nonexistent, but their plugin updates are on point.

[Glenton 🇯🇲 / Website Builder @Glenton]

@mikemcalister @KadenceWP @LiquidWeb Outside of the product confusion, this is an SEO disaster. That main domains ripped all at once, and no one-to-one redirects?

[Glenton 🇯🇲 / Website Builder @Glenton]

Comparing npm downloads to active installs is stupid.

[Michal Barus @webjuice_ie]

WordPress is down from 43.6% to 42.2% market share

Astro is doing 2.5M weekly downloads, up from 1.4M last year

We’ve moved 12 of 42 sites to Astro

Businesses need fast sites that rank and convert, not plugin chaos

Would you still build on WordPress today?

[Glenton 🇯🇲 / Website Builder @Glenton]

@mailerpress Nice, I've been waiting for the SMTP2GO integration.

Something I didn't realize I needed.

Landing in Chrome 148: sticky positioning now works on a per-axis basis

This means you can have sticky elements that track different scroll containers on different axes.

@gavin19969 @BrettFromDJ What functionality are you referring to specifically?

[Glenton 🇯🇲 / Website Builder @Glenton]

How is it that a @prettylink developer license doesn't get me access to the developer add-on?

[Glenton 🇯🇲 / Website Builder @Glenton]

I would love to see the Block editor available as an alternative to the TinyMCE editor for the text area field in @wp_acf, which feels egregiously archaic to use in 2026.

I start every new Claude project with a rules.md file that has "Don't glaze me" as the first line.

Not exactly ground-breaking information, this has always been the case. I'll tell you what we definitely don't need: SEO plugins.

[Joost de Valk @jdevalk]

I built Yoast SEO. I ran my blog on WordPress for years. Then yesterday I moved it to static HTML.

Everything that matters, SEO, search, schema, is still there. What I dropped was the overhead.

Do you actually need a CMS? For quite some sites: no.
