Our co-founder Katie Keith sat down with 20i to talk about why Barn2 left agency work, running a fully remote team, and what AI search means for WordPress businesses. A candid read: https://t.co/TNSQWWm6xj
Today, I presented my first public talk ever in the WordPress community.
I'm 52... So, I guess this could also be considered a "never too late" story! 😊
Thanks to @rmelogli for the opportunity and @KatieKeithBarn2 and the whole @Barn2Plugins team for the support.
Congratulations to our Senior Developer Luigi for an excellent talk at Checkout Summit Reloaded. He shared how he added cart links to our WooCommerce Product Options plugin so customers can click a URL to add a product - complete with pre-selected options - to their cart 🤩👏
@KatieKeithBarn2 opened the sessions at #PressConf2026 with a talk that hit home: honest, practical, and deeply personal. Or as she called it, "Life as the business plan".
💡A reminder that the way we build our businesses should reflect the lives we actually want to live.

Lots of positive feedback from my talk today, which was far more personal (and therefore difficult) than any other talk I’ve done ☺️
It does make a difference when talks aren’t shared online because it affects what you can say (and creates more reason for people to attend in person).
These videos are my favorite thing right now, so I couldn’t resist joining in 🤣
The bit at the end where the lettuce flies out of my mouth was NOT planned...
Holy cow! God, that is a big product!
Watch our CEO @KatieKeithBarn2 try to attack our delicious new product: the Big Barn.
That’s a big bite for a Big Barn 🐮
A double milestone this month: 10 years since we launched our first plugin, and $10 million in lifetime sales 🍾🍾
None of it would have happened without the awesome people who bought, reviewed, and supported us over the years 🙏
After 9 years and 353 videos, @Barn2Plugins now has 10,000 subscribers 🎉
Well done to our YouTuber @samwaines 🏆

My 2025 Year in Review is my first since partnering with @setaryapp, so I shared some stats on its growth since we started marketing it:
• Subscribers +48% YoY
• MRR +89% YoY
• LTV +142% YoY
Full write-up here: https://t.co/DOMYghBwJ9
We handled 15,632 support conversations in 2025, a 14% drop YoY.
That’s a bigger drop than new sales, so I think it says something positive about product quality. I’ve asked the team to use the extra capacity to go further to delight our customers, especially via live chat.
Happy New Year, everyone! 🍾☀️
Don't miss my 7th Year in Review post. It’s a mix of numbers, experiments, things that worked, things that didn’t, and some uncomfortable reflections about changes and how I spent my time in 2025.

Our remote team jumped on a call and managed to capture a very festive group photo 🎄✨
We’re grateful for our customers, partners, and this amazing crew who make Barn2 what it is.
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year! ✨

Almost half of the Barn2 team are at WordCamp Bangkok today, doing an awesome job representing us as always 🤩
I’m sad I can’t be there too, especially since there are two team members I still haven’t met in person yet 🥹
Had a great time at #WPDayEcommerce yesterday. My talk, ‘What Top Ecommerce Stores Get Right (and How You Can Too)’, went well - people seemed interested and even laughed at my jokes! It’ll be on WordPress TV soon.
