Can't even describe this. It's Speed, Thrash, Hard Rock, NWOBHM with a medieval but also urban vibe. Vocal has so many different influences. Pleasant surprise.

Undoubtedly the blueprint for contemporary retro Metal.

I consider myself a Metal connoisseur, but there are bands and albums that I never took the time to listen to properly. In 2026, I'm going to do exactly that and document what I find interesting here.

@KatieKeithBarn2 @Cloudflare Definitely check @FlyingPress_ and FlyingCDN. They basically offer Cloudflare Enterprise tuned for WordPress for a fraction of the cost.

Last week 95% of our traffic was bots. They were hammering the site, going over our PHP worker limit, and causing downtime. On Friday we set up @Cloudflare's free plan. Now bot traffic is down to 0.3% ☺️ If you're using Cloudflare on busy ecommerce sites, is it worth upgrading to paid?

@simas_ch Because someone knows CSS.

I’ve never used Tailwind because I know CSS. And now AI knows CSS. Why do you still use Tailwind?

@jeffr0 The strongest selling point for WordPress is still intact even in the "AI Era": a common interface we can, hopefully, agree to build on.

Any other agencies or folks here with this line of thinking?

@RinodeBoer Yes. They don't add any block, just add functionality to the default ones.

@raphaelsuzuki You mean this plugin adds functionality inside of the default GB blocks?

Something I’ve noticed in Gutenberg: Every block plugin comes with a completely different side panel and settings. This makes it hard to get used to. Why not extend the default blocks instead? Am I missing something?

@CristianRaiber @WooCommerce @eddwp @jamesckemp This one does exactly that: wordpress.org/plugins/woocom…

Who's building a multi-currency add-on for @WooCommerce? @eddwp has theirs and it's good & useful. @WooCommerce when? cc @jamesckemp

@cipriangb @37signals They don't disclose financial details, but they seem to be doing fine.

@raphaelsuzuki @37signals Sounds interesting. Did their income increase after this?

I am selling #WordPress plugins, subscription based. What if, and this is something I came up with after seeing my sales plummeting, what if I removed all subscriptions and went with a one-time payment only? I have around 60% of the customers cancelling after the first 1-2 years. So I'm thinking of increasing the yearly price (say €30) by 50% (so €45) and removing all subsequent payments. Why? 1. It feels fairer to users: Buy it, own it. Simple psychology. 2. Lower friction, faster conversions: No “Do I want this forever?” hesitation. Great for impulse or utilitarian tools. 3. Appeals to indie/hacker/bootstrapped markets: They appreciate tools, not commitments. 4. Easier to maintain privacy: No account = no tracking = happier privacy-conscious users. 4 is optional, either guest purchase or account-based purchase, I don't care.

@ezsmith397 How do you handle the licensing for all these plugins? Do you pass the costs on to your clients or are they already included as part of your services?

Investing in great WordPress tools is so critical if you're in this business. Some of my favorites that I use OVER and OVER again: - ACF Pro - Bricks Builder - WS Forms - WP Migrate Pro - WP Rocket - Perfmatters - SearchWP - SEOPress Pro What's on your list?

@perishable Been using Koofr for a while, option for encryption and great support for Rclone.

I need a replacement for Dropbox. It is *impossible* to permanently delete any files. All files stay on Dropbox servers literally forever. Any suggestions appreciated.

@heyamberhinds VersionPress got really close to doing it, but it was abandoned a while ago: github.com/versionpress/v…

You know what would be amazing? If someone invented a way for database content to be version-controlled in a repo so that devs could edit the content/settings in code, and you could merge databases more easily, but content creators can still use the GUI. Something like ACF JSON?

Existe expressão mais surrealista do que "dar nó em pingo d'água"?

@ianmisner @ajaydsouza Didn't knew about that! They just released and it looks very promising.

@raphaelsuzuki @ajaydsouza The new Bases feature helps!

With Pocket now shutting down, what is everyone looking to use next to save links?
