For over a year, I’ve been building CoverKit. What started as a small replacement for an abandoned plugin slowly turned into something much bigger: a flexible image creation system for WordPress publishing workflows. At least in theory. 😄 Now I’m opening early access for the first time. If you publish with WordPress and creating images is part of your process, CoverKit might be exactly what you’ve been missing. coverkit.com

Coming to #WCEU? You know which event you shouldn't miss... right? 😉

@DerekAshauer I think it reflects the sun accurately for Phoenix in August 😁

Forward progress! But if there is not a fake tunnel drawing on a wall somewhere…

This is so much better! us.wordcamp.org

@JustinFerriman @DerekAshauer @ConversionWP @SunPhotoCart He taught me a lot, directly and indirectly.

I'm unplugged from the #WordPress ecosystem, but from the outside looking in, I have to say that I admire the drive of @DerekAshauer and his hustle with both @ConversionWP and @SunPhotoCart 🔥

I'm excited to attend the 14th annual @WCEurope in Krakow, Poland this year! It's an event I look forward to every year. If you're attending and looking for ways to grow your product business, let's book some time and kick off something new at #WCEU! rootsandfruit.com/wceu-2026/

@lesley_pizza I think it’s called “Starlight” ore something but I let me agent decide it. May change that later.

@xaver_ Nice. What docs theme are you using? And where are you writing it in?

I’ve decided to use Astro for the documentation of #CoverKit and setting it up was honestly pretty easy. This made me realize: for some projects, getting an Astro site live is just simpler than setting up a WordPress site. I still prefer WordPress for publishing, but not every project needs the full WP stack.

Implemented “Use Cases” for #CoverKit over the weekend and I’m stoked. This was one of the bigger pain points in development. I’ve been thinking about the implementation for weeks, tried a bunch of approaches, iterated, pushed back, removed things again, and now it’s finally at a stage I’m happy with. The first beta is getting closer. If you’re interested, sign up here: coverkit.com

UCP seems unstoppable at this point.

@MarcoAlmeidaPT Not sure but IDC 🤷‍♂️

@xaver_ I wonder why it’s not called “Pride” anymore. 😏

Tell me about your #WCEU side events 😏 or invite me to marcoalmeida @ webdados .pt

@samwaines See you there!

Just signed up for Freemius Makers’ Meetup in Kraków 🍻 (better than sneaking in like I did in Athens 3 years ago 😉) freemius.com/makers-meetup-… #WCEU #MakersMeetup

Documentation shouldn’t be an afterthought. That’s why I’m writing the #CoverKit docs right alongside development, not after everything is “done”. I’m using Cursor rules to help keep track of changes, remove outdated parts, and add new findings as the project evolves. It’s still a bit rough around the edges, but I think this is the way to go.

@jamesckemp 👋

Got my ticket for #WCEU earlier today. Who will I see there?
