@RinodeBoer @jdevalk I hear you Rino, it is kind of cool but... But one needs to figure it out when WordPress just works

@jdevalk Oke, thank you, but I will have to figure out what that means 😅

I built Yoast SEO. I ran my blog on WordPress for years. Then yesterday I moved it to static HTML. Everything that matters, SEO, search, schema, is still there. What I dropped was the overhead. Do you actually need a CMS? For quite some sites: no. joost.blog/do-you-need-a-…

@kostasbotonakis @RinodeBoer @jdevalk That is a great setup, but... For majority of regular users way too complex vs WordPress

@RinodeBoer @jdevalk As he hosted on Cloudflare, he can spin a D1 DB and a worker and have those articles there. Then choose to auto generate the markdown files on each build or live fetch them from the DB. Plenty of options.

@jdevalk Astro with keystatic can be a great choice in this case, you can edit markdowns directly or go through UI.

@EidolonNight @DuaneStorey Very true, AI way is great but we really need to have both ways

@DuaneStorey Meh. Interfaces matter. Part of what I love about Obsidian is its local storage as markdown files so I can access them with Claude. This is a "Why not both?" situation.

I’ve been saying this for the last year. For a single blogger in an AI world who doesn’t need user management or a bloated cms, a static site is so much simpler with no hosting costs nowadays.

@liamsLCjourney @DuaneStorey Same idea here, I've created a skill that lets me create Gutenberg blocks with AI and then I can either use API to create pages or copy paste the content.

@DuaneStorey I looked into doing this a couple years ago when AI coding wasn't as good and couldn't find any good alternatives so I decided to stick with WordPress. But more and more I'm thinking of doing exactly what he's talking about and using Claude Code as the frontend.

@RikNieu @marckohlbrugge @MktBuilderLabs Yeah it is not black or white, more complex and not straightforward but the path first build a community and then monetize it is the most reliable. But arguably you don't need it is you are good at marketing

@marckohlbrugge @1TeamSoftware @MktBuilderLabs It’s a feedback loop tho You need that first success and then build on the momentum

kill your free plan

@ILokasta @marckohlbrugge @MktBuilderLabs That is very true, feedback loop matters, consistency and beliefs.

@marckohlbrugge @1TeamSoftware @MktBuilderLabs this is so true. people see the following and think that's the cause. it's the other way around. i've been building Portifa and the few users who actually love it have been worth more than any follower count <3

@marckohlbrugge @MktBuilderLabs Actually, that is ironic but they are successful because they have a following. Followers actually buy because they trust who they know. I've seen a lot of the stories like that and been on that side as well for some other niche.

@1TeamSoftware @MktBuilderLabs Successful indie hackers have a following because they are successful. They aren’t successful because they have a following.

@MktBuilderLabs @marckohlbrugge There aren't that many indie hackers with revenue most of them are known. It is very possible to earn online but success in general field lays in your following. Some niches may not require it as much.

But look at how many products (generating revenue) him and other founders like Marc Lou have. (Marc Lou currently has a team) Depending on your product you need active maintenance, like scrapping ones, regulated ones, etc.. You also need support, users ask for new features to stay (Reduce churn) You can't achieve all of that with Claude code, but I'm not there yet. Can't confirm, just a guess. In a couple of months I will confirm it to you hahaha

@retlehs @schutzsmith Great job!

@schutzsmith Did you read the blog post? roots.io/wp-composer-is… Did you also see that "Packagist" is a trademark?

New site is: wp-packages.org Already using WP Composer? Your packages will continue to work, but you'll see a warning to migrate The old repo is no longer fetching new updates, so update your config from the one liner in the blog post when you get a chance

@retlehs @swalkinshaw That is a single most important feature for sqlite in the cloud. I'm also doing it.

Props to @swalkinshaw for adding Litestream to WP Packages last night Really cool to see every single SQLite DB change getting backed up and uploaded to an R2 bucket in real time (Check the github.com/roots/wp-packa… ops docs for more info on how it works)

@MktBuilderLabs @marckohlbrugge You build once and then market, if product is growing and popular you maintain it, otherwise you abandon it. So technically you are always working on a single product.

@marckohlbrugge Do you have a team? You have so many products, I admire you. But how do you maintain all of them ? Honest question from a fellow founder

Composer is the future of plugin and themes management in WordPress. It is the time to make it the primary way.

@ciorici Just done something similar for our plugins

We reduced clutter in the WP admin by consolidating notices from different WPZOOM products into a single rotating area.

That is pretty cool, long awaited improvement of developer experience.

Everybody have to adapt by going AI-first. In the worst case you can build your own products.

Setting up AWS/GCP buckets for WordPress shouldn't require a PhD in IAM permissions. Most offload plugins are: - Massive (20MB+) - Hard to configure - Way too expensive I built a "flat architecture" alternative. • Parallel bulk uploads (fast) • Google OAuth & R2 Quick Connect

About a year ago, I needed to offload WordPress media to the cloud. As a dev, I’m also a bit lazy - buying is usually faster than building. So I went shopping. But the existing options? They weren't what I expected. 🧵

@Manojkumar2257 Thanks man!

@1TeamSoftware Solid move, bro. Smart choice on the pricing. Always love seeing better options.

I just offloaded 80k images using our new plugin, CloudSync Master PRO. 🚀 The cost? $89. To do the same with WP Offload Media, I would’ve paid $199 for only HALF that amount (40k images). Better performance, better price. Why pay more? 🛠️💻 #WordPress #BuildInPublic
