Ymir Report #59 ā WCUS
Heya friend!
Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building.
INTRO
This will be a short one. I just got back from WCUS. I spent all of last week in DC so didn't get to work much and the week before was still heavy in consulting.
I'm also exhausted because Carl likes to party and stay up late š
I know I keep repeating myself on this, but I mostly feel like Ymir does progress as a business when I go to WordCamps. I met a lot of key people on this trip. I had some really good meetings (and scheduled follow-up meetings!)
PRODUCT
You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog.
No work on the product this cycle. I'm thinking about what I want to work on next. Livewire v3 just came out. I was waiting for that to go back to work on the dashboard.
Long term, I really want Ymir to have an experience that's closer to Vercel. That requires that I invest a good amount of time on the dashboard.
MARKETING
My only goal for this cycle was to create a headstart project using Ymir. I'm happy to say that I got it done! You can find it here.

I also shared it on Twitter.

BUSINESS

Really excited about the business. Each WordCamp feels like a flywheel where I'm slowly making more of the right connections for Ymir. This time felt like a really big spin of that flywheel.
I'm sure it'll take months for the relationships to grow. But it's still better than not having them. That was so much of my challenge before. I couldn't find the right people to talk to about Ymir or who might be interested in it.

I'm still far from working on this full time. It sucks, but I'll take the high right now. Stand by for the next low in a month or so š¤£

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Hey there! It's been a few weeks since my last update. My time in Japan wasn't as productive as I'd hoped it to be. The time zone wasn't friendly to me this time around and I wasn't able to get into a good work groove.Because of that, I mainly focused on consulting work and had nothing to share related to Ymir. I did manage to get some work done towards the...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Greetings from Japan! I've been here for the past two weeks after going to WordCamp Asia. This is probably my last trip to Asia for the foreseeable future. I will probably go to CloudFest instead of WordCamp Asia next year. I can't afford to do both. There has been little work done on Ymir because I had friends visiting Tokyo until last week. I've also been...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Heya! A bit late sending this report again. The last two weeks have been challenging personally and I've just focused on myself more. I did manage to get some things done, but I mostly took time for myself. #selfcare I got one product and one marketing change out. Business is still roughly in the same shape as before. I'm still thinking about things and...
