I'm constantly curious.

Today, we launched @FlipMetrics.

Been researching Statamic for a new website for my business. It seems pretty cool. Recent WP drama absolutely helping my decision making.

[Brian Krogsgard @Krogsgard]

I’m an outsider to WordPress now but I think it’s safe to say that it will now become more and more centralized from here out, which is ultimately damaging to an OS ecosystem. If I were any outside entity with a lot of WP exposure I’d be making plans on how to limit it.

[Brian Krogsgard @Krogsgard]

I think this is a good take.

"Matt, don't turn into a mad king. I hold your work on WordPress in the highest esteem. And I recognize the temptation of gratitude grievances. But that must remain a moral critique, not a commercial crusade." https://t.co/YcRN31M2RA

@jeffr0 Extremely easy path for seamless layoffs. Paying a little to lose the people who want to go is a win.

[Justin Sainton @JS_Zao]

no notes. a perfect post.

[Brian Krogsgard @Krogsgard]

Both Matt and WP Engine presenting some of the worst PR I’ve seen in this space.

[Brian Krogsgard @Krogsgard]

@carlhancock @schutzsmith @post_status I’m okay with that :)

[Brian Krogsgard @Krogsgard]

@jeffr0 @kovshenin @schutzsmith @post_status @wpcandy @mattmedeiros Whenever he wants! Although I feel like the internet probably has plenty of documentation of my life already.

@mikemcalister @JS_Zao @ollie_wp I can’t remember where I gave up but would totally keep going if there’s a path. Iirc setting my own color scheme was a bit challenging (vs choosing from one of a few pre-builts) and also getting some basic homepage examples implemented that I could edit.

Have tried using WordPress for a new site, using default themes as well as several others. I don’t even know how to get the absolute basics setup. Probably going to do this site in a different platform.

[Brian Krogsgard @Krogsgard]

@jeffr0 @kovshenin @schutzsmith @post_status @wpcandy I met WordPress in 2008, got serious in 2010, went full time in 2011, started PS in 2013, did it full time in 2015, and sold it in 2020/2021. We are indeed old.

@d_r_e_w @extendifyinc Is this an actual product I can use somewhere? It looks good but the landing page is just for a $499/mo b2b product for hosting white labelers. Would love to try the onboarding flow it showcases though.

[Brian Krogsgard @Krogsgard]

@d_r_e_w @extendifyinc Thank you, I will!

[Brian Krogsgard @Krogsgard]

@ferrants I appreciate your response but I did WordPress work professionally for many years beginning in 2011 and ran an industry trade org for 5+ years. I’ve built hundreds of WP sites, and that’s not the point of what I’m saying.

[Brian Krogsgard @Krogsgard]

@schutzsmith @post_status I’m encouraged so many people are new and a little discouraged by the answers 😅

[Brian Krogsgard @Krogsgard]

@marybaum I’m sure it would if my aim was to write code for it. Trying to use out of the box stuff.

[Brian Krogsgard @Krogsgard]

@JohnONolan That’s a bummer. I use it strictly for contractor payments but it’s been amazing in the narrow path I use it.

[Brian Krogsgard @Krogsgard]

@JS_Zao @ollie_wp Still rooting for Mike and Ollie. I think part of it had to do with the bizarre req to separate onboarding plugin from theme. I still tried for a while and couldn’t so I gave up.

[Brian Krogsgard @Krogsgard]

@JS_Zao @ollie_wp I tried and was excited. Idk if I’m doing it wrong but I unfortunately still struggled.
