@techjewel Great that you called this out, Jewel. What you said captures what makes the WordPress community special. Respect over rivalry, collaboration over competition. The moment we let bias or borders creep in, we lose the spirit that built this ecosystem in the first place.

In 16 years with WordPress, I’ve only felt welcome (except today). From meetups to Big WordCamps, this space has always been about code, kindness, and collaboration, no matter where you’re from. But today, for the first time, I opened a competitor’s “comparison” page and saw this: “Bangladesh-based” (like it’s a flaw) @FluentCartWP is open-source, our company is registered in the USA, and yes, I (the founder) am proudly from Bangladesh. Comparisons can be full of crap. That’s understandable. Everyone wants to look good. But turning someone’s home country into a negative? That’s low. That’s not competition. That’s not marketing. That’s small, childish, and honestly? It feels like racism. We don’t compete by tearing people down with flags. We build, share, and grow together. That’s WordPress. I have friends running similar products. We chat, we help, we grow together. That’s the ethos. Let’s keep WordPress kind. No borders. Just heart. 🌍❤️ (PS: Please do not mention the company name! The point is the behavior, not the brand.)

Imagine Tumblr wasn't bought, and WP Engine wasn't fought. And all resources and focus was on making the site editor amazing and revamping the admin UI. We'd be in a completely different place right now.

@markzahra @enviragallery @monsterinsights This is one reason we keep our clients away from that family of plugins. Cross-promoting products this way is unethical and sketchy.

Is this called 'scraping the bottom of the barrel' for finding new ways to cross-promote plugins in WordPress? Now we're apparently hooking into WordPress' default block settings to run ads. Let the floodgates open... 🌊🌊🌊 @enviragallery @monsterinsights #WordPress

I keep coming across amazing websites using @wpjobopenings in ways we never imagined — and I’ve been terrible at sharing them. Just spotted one this morning with a gorgeous Elementor-powered customization. Stuff like this truly makes our day. Grateful. 🙏✨

@lesley_pizza Loved the UX! 😍

Here's the experience creating a new event in EventKoi! ✅ Multiple days ✅ Different time for each day ✅ Multiple locations

@KatieKeithBarn2 Fantastic! I know the pain of getting the new product launch ready! Banners - The dark version looks much better and more readable. Icon - The cart is an overused in-app icon, so the bag icon might be better here to stand out.

I’m finally ready to reveal our first Shopify app: volume bundles and bulk discounts! Would love your feedback on the branding 🎨🙏 Decisions: – Dark vs light color scheme – Main image layout: centered or side-by-side – Icon: cart or bag? Let me know what you think!

@remkusdevries Had mine for 20 years! That makes me feel old 👴🏽😂

How long have you had your mobile phone number for? I just realized I’ve had mine for 21 years now.

We started as a fun side experiment project. But as we shared it around, interest grew, and the project started to take shape. It will be available in the WordPress repo soon. If it catches on, we’d love to add more integrations and turn it into a support powerhouse 😊💬➕

You can switch the widget to a clean form interface with a single toggle

Here’s a little fun side project we’ve been working on recently at @awsmin It’s a simple chat widget plugin for #WordPress — but with some interesting UX twists. 💬✨ #buildinpublic
