@euboid I’ve always found Paddle support to be pretty slow. I’ve actually been considering trying out @lemonsqueezy for future projects.

@seanmcginnis @jcowie @Shopify @klaviyo Really interesting read, where are you moving your non-transactional pages out to?

[Michael Donaldson @mike_183]

@jcowie @tailwindui @refactoringui No worries, let’s talk again soon!

[Michael Donaldson @mike_183]

@jcowie @tailwindui If you’re looking for tips on learning to design as well, you should check out @RefactoringUI.

It’s not Tailwind specific, but it’s from the same guys and is a great resource!

It shows you some really quick and easy ways to make designs look so much better.

I think this is an often under appreciated fact about migrating to a headless CMS.

You don’t need to undertake a single “big bang” migration, you can simply take it one small step at a time.

[LexasCMS @lexascms]

Want to switch to a headless CMS, but worried about the amount of work?

Keep in mind that you don't need to move everything at once! The flexibility of headless allows you to migrate your content one piece or page at a time.

Another feature developed as a direct result of customer feedback 🔥

Looking forward to seeing it get used in the wild!

[LexasCMS @lexascms]

Today we're happy to announce our official integration with @WooCommerce 🚀

This integration makes it incredibly easy for content editors and marketing teams to deliver tailored product and category recommendations directly to customers.

@jcowie It’s never too early to plan a BBQ!

@leeerob @vercel TIL – using this with @lexascms’s edge personalisation features would be 🔥

@lukecollymore @hyva_io Glad to hear it Luke. Keep up the great work! 💪

@CollierAdam @duolingo I’ve never used it myself, but I think it would depend on your learning style and which language you pick.

E.g. I know their Spanish course is pretty long compared to some of the other languages.

[Michael Donaldson @mike_183]

@LexasCMS is officially edge-based!

It's been a long time in planning, but with performance improvements of up to 90%, I'm incredibly happy with the results.

The best part? We're just getting started! 🚀

@filrakowski @MayaShavin @VueStorefront FWIW @emberjs sets a great example of how to handle major version releases with a clear migration path and minimal disruption to the ecosystem as a whole.

[Michael Donaldson @mike_183]

This week we quietly shipped our new edge-based content delivery infrastructure for @LexasCMS.

Initial signs are pretty awesome with uncached response times in some regions improving by almost 10X!

The future of content is at the edge!

Official announcement coming next week 🚀

@brandymedia @RobinMartijn Paddle run payouts once per month, but they’ll only payout if your account balance is over your configured threshold. See below 😉
