Working this year on a modern e-commerce plugin for @WordPress aimed at people selling digital products, subscriptions, licenses, services, etc!
I’ve always been a fan of @eddwp but it has a lot of backwards compatibility code and bloat now, with a clunky checkout process that isn’t really designed for modern commerce. We have better things now like Stripe Checkout which save reinventing the wheel and provide better security.
WooCommerce also suffers from poor admin experience and bad database design. None are really “friendly” or easy to use. Which i think is a factor why people opt for @lemonsqueezy and similar hosted solutions.
Because I have the luxury of starting from scratch, I can design with performance, security and scalability in mind. I also can use newer technologies like React for every single screen, REST, etc.
Not sure how much “market” is left in WordPress as it’s kinda dying in the water and not really relevant anymore, but if anything it will be a fun project to undertake. I’m already about 50% done 🚀

He posted his blood work prior and I went through it in depth. His bloodwork shows he’s optimised himself into metabolic suppression:
•Ferritin 20 (iron starved)
•Free T3 2.9 (low despite being on TWO thyroid medications since age 21)
•Basal temp 34.9°C (profoundly hypothyroid)
•Cholesterol 92 (dangerously low — brain and hormones need cholesterol)
•Leptin <0.5 (undetectable — body thinks it’s in famine)
•Glucose 103 with glucose in urine (pre-diabetic despite extreme diet)
•Glutathione 105 (low for someone spending millions on longevity)
•MCV 101 (macrocytic — oversized red blood cells)
•SHBG 68 (high — binding up free testosterone)
•Uric acid 3.1 (depleted — it’s actually a protective antioxidant)
He’s spending millions per year to achieve the bloodwork of someone in a caloric famine (essentially). His body is running cold, iron depleted, and metabolically suppressed by design. Caloric restriction taken to its logical endpoint.
@peduarte The brand recognition, distribution, community and marketing are arguably more important than the app now anyway.
Even if someone did make a better launcher, it would be hard to get the reach you guys have 😊
100% hand coded a project for a couple of days and felt great, accomplished a lot and have a really awesome product at the end of it. super productive.
Vibe coded something today and have been endlessly more frustrated. Codex spinning up endless dev processes, ignoring specific instructions just writing shitty code in general.
The U.K. is miserable
When I quit my shitty 9-5 2 years ago thanks to crypto all I got from colleagues was “it’s risky” or “are you sure that’s a good idea”
What’s risky is sitting in a dead-end lifeless job for the rest of your boring life like every other sheep
Take a chance
@simonecanciello Apple Review process will be a nightmare with any app that offers health recommendations/advice. You would need to frame it as a tracker or journal
