INTRO

Heya!

I did it! I have my first case study πŸ₯³

Otherwise, I had a good time at WordCamp Europe. I had some good discussions there about the state of the hosting industry. They make me feel good about the long-term viability of Ymir, but doesn't really help in the short run.

There hasn't been a lot of movement on the product this month. I came from Europe with COVID. 😷 I'm still sick and quite low on energy. The little energy I had, I used to write the case study.


PRODUCT

I have a few things I want to work on, but haven't had the time with travel and now COVID. Once I start feeling better, I have some consulting work to wrap up. So no movement on the product this month.


MARKETING

Ok, so I did it! I have something marketing for this section this time 🀣 I want to thank Ryan for giving me all the details and agreeing to let me do the case study. πŸ’–

INTRO Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! πŸ¦ƒπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ I want to keep this report positive today. I'll discuss the WordPress situation and Ymir once I've had time to process things some more. It's been a lot for everyone. On happier news, I'm delighted to say I have my second agency partner: 40Q! We launched their first project last month. The real test for the platform was last...

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO Heya! It's been a week since I came back from WCUS. I think it was one of the best venues I've been to. I had a really great time, and it felt good to catch up with friends. A few parties showed a lot of interest around my consulting work. So that was good! The whole mood of the conference was soured by Matt's Q&A session. Without rehashing the whole drama,...

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO Heya! I hope you had a wonderful summer! I've been slowly getting back into the spin of things. I think taking a bit of time away from Ymir was helpful. I'm excited to get back to working on it. The business itself is still not doing that great. I think I'm near the subscriber floor. That said, I'm not getting any new trials, so there's no growth at the...
