  • Etch is Here, Is WP still relevant in 2026, Query Filter, GB Query Enhancements & Much More

    It’s been a good week. But what’s scary is that with the end of this week, we’ve also ended January. And I gotta say… it’s going too fast for me! I mean, not to the point that it’s going so fast that I couldn’t find any news for this week’s newsletter, but you get it,…

  • Meet the Hackathon Winner, ActivityPub Expands + WordPress 6.8 Resources

    The CloudFest Hackathon, The WP Day, and CloudFest in general was a lot of fun this past week(end). If you’ve never been, I highly recommend it for next year. Or perhaps, if you’re based in the Americas, the US-based version might be worth your consideration to visit. As should you be considering ​PressConf​, btw. Just…

  • Generate Blocks 2.0, WordPress on Vercel + GB Phase 3 update

    One week until Black Friday! That is today. And you can kinda tell the world of WordPress is quite focused on that because it’s been a bit of a quiet week in terms of news. Today’s edition is somewhat dev oriented, but I tried to include some fun bits for everyone here and there. And…
