I found myself needing to get Obsidian doc from my Openclaw agent, and not wanting to search for the doc it created or updated for me. So... I created a solution, https links to your Obsidian vault:

AI will confidently sign off on anything.
The question is whether you will too.

I've been working on a fun idea; OpenClaw is cool, but i wanted to take some of those autonomous ideas and apply them to a web app.
So... I wrote an autonomous feedback agent:

When @cloudflare.social introduced Markdown for Agents today, I was grinning. I'd been building the exact same thing, but for #WordPress, with almost exactly the same approach - this one works even if you're not on Cloudflare:

I found out more over the last year as we worked on FAIR, but I also found out more specifically this week, when I was building a Glossary plugin for WordPress we needed for the FAIR website.

Today’s web runs on distributed systems, verifiable code, and modern APIs. Not on a single, centralized repository that still relies on Subversion. The open web has evolved, and if WordPress wants to remain part of it, it needs to evolve too.

When WordPress launched its plugin and theme directories about two decades ago, it was a brilliant idea. Centralizing distribution made it easy for site owners to find and install new features. But the web it was built for doesn’t exist anymore.

Over the last few days, we've seen a good discussion about what #WordPress needs to be relevant in the current age. I think it boils down to two things: we need good, capable *and empowered* product and marketing teams.

88, but then I went and searched for the ones I didn't know and learned a new thing or 26 as i really didn't know most of them 😅️
Might be time to find the best open source alternative for SubStack and *own your own subscribers and content*.
This will inevitably lead to higher prices, and probably to more barriers to getting your data out too…
Backstage at #OSSummit with Joost and Jim Zemlin
Today at #OSSummit @joost.blog and I with @fair.pm announced our open call to @linuxfoundation.org members to join a new directed fund to ensure a true #OpenSource #CMS ecosystem for generations to come! Get in touch to Join!
Just gotten off stage presenting about @fair.pm at the Linux Foundation’s #OSSummit together with @marucchi.com - we’re starting the conversations with funders of our project today.
Good questions, I love it! I think Ryan (of the McCue kind) has left a long answer already, but I want to thank you for those questions. The whole point is that this is a community effort :)
We're delighted to launch the FAIR Package Manager with the Linux Foundation - read our announcement and come collaborate with us! #FAIRPM

Is WordPress innovation in plugins slowing down? In this post Marieke and I explore why new plugins struggle to gain traction and how established ones dominate and what that means for innovation.
Walking around #WCEU today, I realized that I *really* needed to publish:

Haha thank you but… no 🤣

It's time to fix the image of WordPress and its security:

I think it’s a helpful tool and can help create great content. But it’s a tool, that shouldn’t be mistaken for a solution. It’s only as good as the artisan using it…
We made SEO easier for everyone. That was the goal. But in the process, we helped flood the web with content.
This is a reflection on what worked, what didn’t, and what we can learn from it.

Not everything needs AI. But WordPress needs AI-ready infrastructure. Read my thoughts:

We've built something cool at @progressplanner.com over the last few weeks: an integration with Yoast SEO, to give you lots of recommendations to improve your Yoast SEO setup:

I knew the risks of speaking up to Matt were there, and I’ve stayed silent on account of not wanting to get Taco in trouble before WordCamp Asia. But honestly, it sucks and it does have a real impact.
Post Status is celebrating Women in WordPress through brief interviews with @michellefrechette.bsky.social.

We should add one to our footer too though. @tacoverdo.com
You mean @progressplanner.com ;)
So, as I explain in this new post, you have to build websites like it's 2005, to win in 2025. But please, do read and I'd love to hear your opinions:

I've been having lots of different fun discussions around AI the last few weeks, but there's one that we simply have to shed more light on. In order to appear in AI, you can't build fancy headless websites. AI simply does not execute JavaScript when crawling your site. 1/2
I wrote about my experience at the #cloudfest Hackathon #cfhack and what I think the #WordPress world could learn from that:
