Should WordPress move away from Slack and towards the fediverse for project communication? Automattic-sponsored Meta team contributor Alex Kirk thinks so. Kirk has proposed a project to explore switching to the free Matrix open-source federated chat system.The potential benefits are compelling. For one, there's something to be said for open-source projects supporting each other. Beyond that, easier onboarding and a variety of available chat clients were also touted. https://youtu.be/dq23lJBYtpM Sarah Gooding of WP Tavern demonstrated some of these advantages in a recent article. And Kirk's team has also created a Gutenberg block, Chatrix, that embeds a Matrix chat client directly into any WordPress website.Slack, meanwhile, has long been the chosen platform for project communication. A move to Matrix will certainly face both technical and philosophical hurdles. We'll keep you updated as the discussion progresses.Introducing The WP Minute +The WP Minute's goal is to bring you the latest WordPress news in just 5 minutes a week.

So I'm going to keep this brief, as this podcast was a little bit of a scoop, which we don't often get! Last week it was announced that Elementor (the page builder) had bought Strattic (the headless hosting company). I thought that this was an interesting purchase and I wanted to know more. Very quickly I was able to get hold of the co-founder of Strattic, Miriam Schwab, and Amitai Gat, the product organisation lead at Elementor. This episode is all about this recent news. How did it come about? What's in it for both parties? What happens next? It would be good to point out that the day after this episode was recorded, the news of Elementor laying off some employees broke, but as this had not yet happened, this is not covered. Go check out the podcast...

Strattic was acquired by Elementor. Miriam Schwab, co-founder of Strattic writes: “Life is interesting – sometimes outcomes are obvious, and sometimes what ends up happening kind of blows our minds. When we set out to build Strattic, we expected to follow the usual path: raise Pre-Seed, Seed, A rounds etc. An exit was always on the table, but who knows when that would be or how that would look? It was hard to imagine.”Miriam Schwab Well, imagine no more as her team brings Jamstack to Elementor. A move that should add a lot of value and expertise to the cloud offering of Elementor.

Alan Sschlesser urges that theme.json is not the replacement we're hoping for in WordPress themes. Phil Crumm chops the head off of headless WordPress solutions.

Miriam Schwab is originally from Canada. She has been in Israel for 26 years, and moved there after high school to attend university. She studied English Literature in school, and she really enjoyed the focus, though it has little to do with what she is doing today. Even still, her heart was always pointed towards technology. She is a mother of 7 children, which keeps her super busy. The oldest is 22 a boy, and the rest are girls, with the youngest being 8. If she does have spare time, she spends time with her extended family, or goes out with friends.Around the time she had kid number 4, she took her maternity leave to re-evaluate what she wanted to do. She started freelancing, and building people websites on a contract basis. At the time, she was exploring open content management systems, namely Wordpress. She was one of the first people in Israel to offer Wordpress as a business solution. Her business grew from just her to being an agency, building sites for businesses for 13 years.As more and more people built websites, she began to realize that the content on the site was sluggish to load... and the stack used to power Wordpress wasn't keeping up with the growth in content. As she stumbled across a new trend, around static site generation, she immediately thought she found the answer.This is the creation story of Strattic.SponsorsCourierImg.lyRoutableCTO.aiCloudways offers peace of mind and flexibility so you can focus on growing your business instead of dealing with server management.

Matt Report - A WordPress podcast for digital business owners
Entrepreneur, a term that has lost its potency over the years, is finding it's way back home in today's story. There are those of us that start businesses out of the desire to control our own destiny, but then grapple with the inability to see the forest through the trees. Every reason why we started a business to begin with — freedom, choice, creativity — become the very anchors that hold us back. Great entrepreneurs know that in order for an idea to flourish and make deep roots in the world, she needs to decouple herself from the ownership of it all. When Miriam, today's guest, raised $6.5 million in a Series A VC round (which includes Automattic) for Strattic WordPress hosting company, she wanted to build something great. Two challenges lie ahead: 1. To make the decision to wind down a thriving WordPress services agency 2. Go get that money to watch her idea come to life and grow beyond just a side project. Join me in welcoming Miriam Schwab as we explore the hyper-competitive landscape of managed hosting through the lens of a static WordPress solution platform.

They always liked the idea of moving forward and up in life (as opposed to on which can feel dismissive."We had always intended for WP& UP to be more. ...Given the current global crisis we saw more than a 310% increase in support with 90% less donations." Dan MabyRebranding in 4 WeeksDan admitted that this shift and rebrand is 18 months ahead of schedule. Once shelter in place orders began worldwide because of COVID-19, so many people became remote workers -- overnight. This new situation became a crisis; it needed to be addressed."Millions of people are moving to the remote working model." Dan MabyDan and the Board of Trustees met twice and just knew in their hearts that this pivot's timing was now. This pivot doesn't abandon the WordPress Community; rather, it expands it."Our heart is very much in the WordPress Community." Dan MabyRebranding and RelaunchingIn order to pivot quickly, Dan and the volunteer team looked at several solutions. Donations, obviously were a high priority. But so is SEO, user access, and accessibility. They looked at a Gatsby or GraphQL solutions but that would delay the four week timeline.Miriam Schwab talked about her product, Strattic, at WordCamp London in 2017. The team quickly decided this is the best solution.To build an accessibility-first site, the team had to strip out all unnecessary items. The contrast is better. The site is visually and technically lighter. Things like bloated menus were getting in the way. As far as typography goes, less is more.Rebranding and Donation SoftwareBefore rebranding the creation of a new site (old and new are co-existing for now), Big Orange Heart (BOH for short) was using GiveWP. BOH is now using Strattic (a static site generator for WordPress) with Payhere.

Miriam is one of those people that when you meet her you want to be her friend. Once you learn about her business and her vision you want to be part of it. Kind, insightful, intelligent, and forward-thinking, Miriam is building not only a business, but contributing to WordPress in new and innovative ways.
Episode three of Women in WP, we talk to Miriam Schwab about unhackable WordPress sites and how to be an all around WP bad ass while also being a busy mom of seven. About Miriam: Twelve years ago Miriam stumbled across WordPress and it was love at first sight. Since then, she has gone on […]
Miriam Schwab is the founder & CEO of several WordPress enterprises, as well as a leader and influencer within the Israeli startup scene. On our podcast, she talks about the challenges of keeping a work-life balance and explains why the WordPress community is so unique.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE Miriam Schwab's life story reflects that of many olim (immigrants): ambivalent, halting beginnings eventually give way to a mature and successful Israeli life, filled with professional accomplishment and the pursuit of big dreams. Growing up in Toronto, Canada, Miriam was always enamored with "tech" - early computers and the various coding languages that powered them. Eventually she found a home in the Word Press community, becoming one of its greatest experts, and among the only females with that designation. A web development company she started earned her a steady living, but she had designs on something much more ambitious: creating lighting fast, impenetrably secure and environmentally friendly web services. Her new company, Stratic, does just that, and she is quickly driving it towards broad commercial viability. In this wide-ranging conversation, we cover the topics of the vicissitudes of aliyah; the Israeli - and Jerusalem - startup scene; the challenges faced by women - and particularly religious women - as founders; and much more. Miriam is brilliant but unpretentious, ambitious but warm, and a sterling model of the new economy in the Jewish State. -------------------- ABOUT THIS PODCAST Jews You Should Know introduces the broader community to interesting and inspiring Jewish men and women making a difference in our world.
