NerdPress is sponsoring WordPress Accessibility Day again this year. The event starts in just a few hours.
Hi, I’m Colin Devroe – Head of AI & Product at NerdPress and I build tools for the open web.
This site is where I share notes, blog posts, projects, photography, and whatever I’m trying to understand next.
Latest notes
Short posts, quick observations, links, and work-in-progress thinking. Read all notes.
Introducing the NerdPress Guided Agent Connector, a new service from NerdPress that connects your AI agent to your WordPress site with our guidance built in. I wrote about it on our blog.
Shadow people by Giles Turnbull. Cool.
Completed my 25-hour service on the four-wheeler this weekend. I’m happy with this machine so far. I still need to install a winch, which I have, because it is too heavy for me to move on my own and I ride alone a lot.
Signboard 2.0 will be a line-in-the-sand release. There will be Pro features that are only available to Pro subscribers. The 1.7.x release will always be all free. I’ll likely do a release there that removes the commercial license and keeps the tip jar. Stay tuned!
Side note: It is really, really nice.
