A new social media-minded @wordpressdotcom theme from @itsdavemartin and @josephscott as part of Radical Speed Month! ⚡️

@ianmisner @jkohlbach @fabiankaegy @jamesckemp Before reaching a stable or beta release, we will focus on extensibility and clearly communicate how the system can be extended.

@jkohlbach @gigitux @fabiankaegy @jamesckemp Maybe worth taking a retro on the rollout of block checkout before making a decision on where extensibility goes on the priority list

This is looking SO good. Modernises the WooCommerce products list and allows quick/bulk editing in a much nicer UI. See that little chevron as well? 👀

@ianmisner @jkohlbach @fabiankaegy @jamesckemp To clarify, when I say “we’re not focusing on extensibility for the first iteration,” I mean that extensibility won’t be a priority during this initial development phase.

The DataViews-powered Product Catalog Management got an amazing response: thank you for all the feedback 🙌 I’ve put together a `blueprint.json` so you can explore the latest daily progress in one click via Playground: playground.wordpress.net/?blueprint-url…

Want a private social network just for friends & family? @josephscott and I built a simple way to do it on WordPress.com as part of Automattic’s AI build month: wordpress.com/blog/2026/04/2…

You might have heard of Radical Speed Month at @automattic? It's a new experiment, similar to a hackathon, where we team up in pairs and work closely together on something that we want to ship by the end of the month. I took this as an opportunity to work on two things that I feel are very important. (Starting now that I'm back from #CheckoutSummit!) First thing is the way that users create and manage variations in @WooCommerce. For this project I've teamed up with Poli, one of our very talented designers. Very excited with where it's going. For years, the variation experience within WooCommerce has been far from ideal. As a user, you have to click between multiple tabs, reload the page, deal with attributes, generate variations in batches of 50. Once those variations are created, you still have the hassle of multi-page navigation, depending on how many variations you have. Really just an experience that's very much lacking. Our project aims to massively simplify this process without affecting the underlying data, so anyone can use the new process with the variations they already have. The goal is to bring it all into one tab, the variations tab, and make the creation and editing experience much more streamlined, with far fewer clicks to actually create and manage variations. Conceptual design exploration attached. Additionally, I'm working with @PanosSynetos on a second project for our Product Add-Ons plugin, with the goal to dramatically improve the ratings of that plugin in the marketplace. Some of the ways we plan to do this are by looking at long-standing feature requests like conditional logic, as well as the reviews that have come in, general performance, and quality of life improvements. It's going to be a huge challenge to improve the ratings score, as we'll need a lot of five-star ratings to make this happen. But, we should be able to see the positive effect almost immediately once we've figured out the issues with the plugin. Of course, I love building in public, so I'll be sharing as much as I can about this project, about these projects, as we go through them. As always, I'll be looking for feedback, good or bad, to ensure we're building what you as a user actually want. Very excited by this way of working! 🚀 #radicalspeedmonth

@fabiankaegy @jamesckemp We're not focusing on extensibility for the first iteration, but we already implemented some POCs internally. Definitely, we will focus on extensibility upstream to ensure the same APIs across WordPress screens: github.com/WordPress/gute… - github.com/WordPress/gute…

@jamesckemp So I would not be able to add a custom additional field that shows in one of these columns of the table layout from within a WooCommerce extension plugin.

@_aletesoro Any progress that I'm making is merged in trunk. In this issue, it's explained how to enable this feature: github.com/woocommerce/wo…

@gigitux Is there a repository for this? 👀

The new DataViews-powered Product Catalog Management in WooCommerce is a big UX win 🙌 Filtering tables is finally smooth, and yes, price filtering is here 💸 One of my favorite improvements! 🚀

We’ve opened a new epic to rethink product catalog management in WooCommerce. Exploring: •Faster table-based workflows •Inline product variations •Improved quick & bulk editing Early stage, building in public 👇 github.com/woocommerce/wo…

@enotobian @jamesckemp @briancoords github.com/woocommerce/wo… Looking forward for feedback!

@jamesckemp @briancoords @gigitux Ooh fantastic. That will speed things up a lot!

I'm hearing a lot of Woo developer wishlist items at #checkoutsummit - high performance product storage, a Woo block theme and product type templates, "more in core", and a new product editor screen. Do you agree? What am I missing?

This was a must needed event #CheckoutSummit organised by the one and only @rmelogli for #WooCommerce fans only. See you next year! 🚀

I really enjoyed my time at #checkoutsummit My first time giving a solo talk and it was very well received. Many people said they loved the openness and honesty of it 🙌 The fact it was a small, intimate, and WooCommerce focussed conference meant all the conversations were meaningful and relevant. @rmelogli did such a great job hosting, arranging sponsors and food, taxi service 😅 I really hope it returns next year. Keep an eye out for our @DotheWoo episode soon with a bit of a recap. Now I’m at the airport ready to go home and start figuring out some of the feedback we all received while in Sicily! Thanks to everyone for coming and for supporting @rmelogli and @WooCommerce 🙏

Unpopular opinion: "AI makes everyone a developer" is true the same way "cameras makes everyone a photographer"

Excited to join @checkoutsummit in Palermo to connect with fellow WooCommerce builders, dig into the sessions, and meet more folks who live and breathe @WooCommerce. See you there!

DataForms e DataViews: se usi il Site Editor di #WordPress, li conosci già. Ma sapevi che puoi usarli nei tuoi plugin? Al #WordCamp #Torino il 9 maggio mostro come funzionano in pratica - dal primo componente fino al Network Admin di un Multisite. torino.wordcamp.org/2026/session/d… #wctrn

AI isn’t just for writing code, it’s great at reshaping it. Took a huge PR and used AI to split it into: - setup -cleanup - core framework - domain slices Suddenly the review went from overwhelming → trivial. AI as a reviewer experience multiplier.

Hot take, anyone saying WordPress doesn't need collaborative editing has clearly never worked in an environment where multiple people want to be able to edit posts on a WordPress site...

Vibe coders don’t care about scalability because they’ll never have any users
