I hate CAPTCHAs.

And so do your customers ... up to 40% of them abandon a form the moment they see one.

But the alternative used to be worse.

At one point, my @wpbeginner forms got 18,000 spam requests in a single night.

So I tried everything. Honeypots, rate limiting, etc -- they worked for a while until they didn't.

There are premium spam tools, but they're often slow & expensive. They flag real people without telling me why.

So I asked my team to build something better.

It's called ActiveLayer (@activelayerapi) - an AI-powered spam protection that blocks bots without ever asking your real customers to prove they're human.

No CAPTCHAs. No tracking scripts. No friction.

It runs server-side in milliseconds and returns a verdict with a confidence score, so you can actually see why something was flagged.

It works with every WordPress form plugin you already use including WPForms (@easywpforms), @gravityforms, Contact Form 7, Elementor (@elemntor), etc.

There's also a clean REST API for everything else, so you can use it on any application platform, not just WordPress.

Think of it as a smart security guard for your forms. It welcomes real people, blocks the bots, and never asks anyone to prove they are human.

Let's make the web a little less spammy together.

Translating my brands with leading SaaS translation tools would have cost us 7 figures annually!

For WPBeginner alone, six figures.

So last year I tried every well-known WordPress translation plugin instead.

Every single one slowed our admin to a crawl. Our post editor was practically unusable.

On our WooCommerce / EDD stores, the lag hit the entire checkout. Bad for conversions. Worse for revenue.

I kept thinking: why is this so hard?

In 2026, AI is good enough that small businesses shouldn't have to choose between site speed and going global.

So I asked our team to build the translation platform we actually wanted to use.

Today I'm sharing it with you. It's called Universally.

AI translates your entire website in minutes. Translations live on our cloud, not your database. So your site stays fast. Often faster, because we deliver from edge servers worldwide.

Multilingual SEO is fully automated. Hreflang tags, translated metadata, clean URLs, RTL support. All of it.

We've already translated 250M+ words during our private beta.

WordPress is live today.

Shopify, Wix, Webflow, and Squarespace are next coming very soon.

The free plan is genuinely free. No credit card required. You can have your site running in a second language in under 10 minutes.

If you've put off translating because it felt too expensive, too technical, or too fragile, this is for you.

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. I wanted to quickly share a few tips for using Claude Code, sourced directly from the Claude Code team. The way the team uses Claude is different than how I use it. Remember: there is no one right way to use Claude Code -- everyones' setup is different. You should experiment to see what works for you!

Making progress. The agent seamlessly navigated the far more complicated JS heavy interface of WPForms. 💥

[Taylor Otwell @taylorotwell]

Some pretty cool stuff has shipped in Laravel over the last two weeks. 💪

First, a new Http::batch() method allows you to make concurrent HTTP requests while also attaching callbacks to be invoked on progress, failure, completion, and more.

Thanks @wendell_adriel!

“Duh, this is so obvious, why didn’t someone already do it?”

“Oh, okay, I’ll just do something about that.”

“Oh, well maybe I’ll figure that out later.”

“OK, this is really hard.”

But if you do it, you win. Because it’s hard.

AM Hackathon!!!! Really enjoying building exciting new things with AI 😁

@AshAllenDesign Named arguments, love how they make function calls so much cleaner and easier to read!
