Hourly Backups are live on Levamo. ⏱️

Site breaks in the afternoon? Restore from earlier today, not last night.

Hola Levamo 👋

[Levamo @LevamoHosting]

Rapyd Cloud is now Levamo.

Our name is changing. The team, platform, support, infrastructure, and commitment to our customers are not.

Rapyd Cloud was a meaningful name for where we started. Levamo is a stronger name for where we are going.

AI api keys in WP is the wrong approach. You should connect WordPress to your AI agent not AI to WordPress.

[Levamo @LevamoHosting]

🚨 Rapyd Cloud's new website is live! We're powering dynamic WordPress sites like never before.

Stores, memberships, communities — we handle the infrastructure, so you scale without limits.

If you're building with WordPress try this 👇

Design system → AI agent → working WordPress site, in a few minutes 🔥

1. Go to https://t.co/XbQnb1fwi2 and ask Claude to open WordPress Playground

2. Grab a DESIGN.md from https://t.co/XvL5RkpOPp (Vercel, Linear, and Stripe are great starting points) and upload it to Claude

3. Tell it: "Use this DESIGN.md to build a WordPress site — homepage, about page, and a blog with 3 sample posts."

Open wp-admin from the toolbar and keep editing. Install plugins, swap themes, write posts — everything persists between reloads.

💡 Make sure Claude uses Playground's persistent storage (storage=browser) — otherwise you'll get a fresh blueprint every reload instead of the site you're building.

No local install. No hosting. No deploy step. The whole site lives in your browser tab — reload it tomorrow and your work is still there.

If WordPress evolves into an OS for the agentic web, then someone has to buy tokens. And if people are required to pay for tokens to get the most out of WP, or get basic shit done, the software project is no longer free as in beer. I'm not going to buy tokens to use WordPress.

[Carl Hancock 🚀🇨🇷 @carlhancock]

The WordPress community has a visibility-to-competence ratio problem. The loudest voices aren’t always building products of any real substance.

Posting frequency, podcast appearances, and conference stages don’t tell you how big the business actually is.

Some of the most visible people here run companies that aren’t nearly as successful as their personal brand suggests.

Building a real product, not a feature with a landing page, is harder and slower than building an audience. Post count is not a proxy for competence.

Worth keeping in mind when you’re deciding who to learn from.

[Shahzeb Ahmed @shahzebbbbb]

@carlhancock @jeffr0 Well said.

@johnturner @FireworksAI_HQ I’m using it with @ollama, and it’s truly great in terms of the free version.

[Shahzeb Ahmed @shahzebbbbb]

@samrexford @jdevalk Agreed.

[Shahzeb Ahmed @shahzebbbbb]

@jdevalk Claude + Git + Actions is powerful, but it’s hardly simpler than a login + edit button.

[Shahzeb Ahmed @shahzebbbbb]

@jdevalk If the solution needs AI to feel usable, maybe the problem isn’t fully solved yet.

[Shahzeb Ahmed @shahzebbbbb]

@syedbalkhi We are still in the very early stage of this AI wave. The signal to noise ratio is just very messy right now.

[Shahzeb Ahmed @shahzebbbbb]

@syedbalkhi The same thing is happening on LinkedIn as well, but not because of the algorithm, mostly because of so-called “AI influencers.”

You’ll see posts like: “I used Claude, Grok, or Copilot to build a complete customer acquisition roadmap that can save you $50K.

[Shahzeb Ahmed @shahzebbbbb]

@syedbalkhi Comment ‘AI’ and follow me and I’ll send the framework.

Then you comment and what you get is basically nothing. Sometimes a vague paragraph, sometimes a random scratch doc, not even a proper MD file or usable framework.

So I couldn’t agree more.
