Say thanks and learn more about our podcast sponsor Omnisend. In this episode of WP Minute+, I sat down with Noel Tock, co-founder of Human Made, a leading Enterprise WordPress agency. We dove into the recent explosive events between Automattic and WP Engine, exploring the implications for the WordPress community and the potential for an independent WordPress.org fork.Noel's unique perspective as both an agency owner and a humanitarian worker in Ukraine provided a fascinating backdrop to our discussion. He emphasized how WordPress remains a critical tool for humanitarian efforts, powering thousands of new charities in crisis zones. This reminder of WordPress's global impact set the tone for our conversation about its future.We explored the current economic challenges facing WordPress agencies in today's competitive landscape. Noel highlighted the need for better product marketing of WordPress in the enterprise space, where it often competes as a "secondary CMS" against more comprehensive suites. This led us to discuss the potential motivations behind Matt Mullenweg's recent actions and what it might mean for the WordPress ecosystem.The core of our conversation revolved around the feasibility and implications of forking WordPress.org. We explored the technical challenges, the potential costs, and the community dynamics that would be involved in such an endeavor. Noel provided valuable insights into what it would take for an independent repository to gain traction, suggesting that incentivizing premium plugin developers could be a key strategy.Key takeaways for WordPress professionals:1 The WordPress ecosystem is facing increased competition and needs better product marketing, especially in the enterprise space.2 Forking WordPress.org would be a massive undertaking, requiring significant resources and community buy-in.3 Clarity on governance and what constitutes meaningful contribution to WordPress is crucial moving forward.4 The relationship between commercial interests and open-source principles in WordPress needs careful navigation.5 WordPress remains a critical tool for global humanitarian efforts, highlighting its importance beyond just business applications.6 The hosting industry may need to reassess its relationship with WordPress in light of recent events.7 Automattic's role as a steward of the open web extends beyond just WordPress, complicating the financial dynamics.⠀Important URLs mentioned:HumanMade.comWordPress.org@noeltockthewpminute.com/support⠀Chapter titles with timestamps:1 [00:00:00] Introduction and WordPress's role in humanitarian efforts2 [00:05:18] The state of WordPress agencies and competition3 [00:15:30] Exploring the possibility of forking WordPress.org4 [00:23:36] The potential for new WordPress marketplaces5 [00:28:00] Matt Mullenweg's role and the future of WordPress governance6 [00:32:30] Implications for the web hosting industry7 [00:34:00] Automattic's broader role in the open web8 [00:37:24] Closing thoughts on focus and learning from experiences ★ Support this podcast ★

In the third part of our examination of some of the business models being powered by open-source software, we explore the space of the digital experience platform. One of the obvious advantages of a platform — open-source or proprietary — is the promise of a seamless experience to accomplish a goal. When it comes to open-source software, collaboration in the open can mean fragmentation. The digital experience platform (DXP) concept seeks to marry the flexibility of open-source with the ease of use and practicality of a more integrated platform. We discuss Altis DXP with its creators, Tom Wilmot and Noel Tock. In this episode, we discuss the problems that a DXP is seeking to solve, the attention of large enterprise on the DXP model, and the conversation surrounding DXP's contributions to open-source software.

Matt Report - A WordPress podcast for digital business owners

On today's episode, Sam and Corey hit the halfway mark of Season 5B by interviewing Tom Willmot, the CEO of Human Made. Tom talks about the agency along with the Happytables SaaS Product which has been the niche product when Noel Tock joined Human Made as a partner in 2013. Listen to the show Matt Report - A WordPress podcast for digital business owners Season 5B: E:9 Tom Willmot Play Episode Pause Episode Mute/Unmute Episode Rewind 10 Seconds 1x Fast Forward 30 seconds 00:00 / 00:40:20 Subscribe Share RSS Feed Share Link Embed Download file | Play in new window | Duration: 00:40:20 Guest: Prior to founding Human Made with Joe in 2010, Tom cut his professional teeth with lead technical roles on some of the earliest examples of large-scale sites built with WordPress, including the ground-up rebuilds of both Geek.com and Digital Trends. In addition, Tom sits on the board at Happytables and has had advisory roles with Rufflr, Market Realist, United Influencers, and Clickbank. He's a regular public speaker, both offline and online. As CEO Tom splits his focus between the big-picture vision of where Human Made is going and how they will get there along with the day-to-day support of their amazing humans and clients. What you will learn from this episode: Happy Tables is a website builder platform for the restaurant niche.  (4:33) More recently there is a pivot to SaaS with the Restaurant Command station. (5:26) There are many restaurants running the WordPress version. New signups for the “older” WordPress version no longer exist. (5:58) It is difficult using WordPress for your SaaS without it dominating your UI. The most valuable part of the web builder platform is the dashboard with usable, presentable data. Supporting a SaaS (Software as a Service for WordPress): The pivot to the SaaS was inspired out of necessity. (6:34) Some needs of a restaurant are generic and they can get websites for minimal cost. The UI of Happytables was before Human Made moved to the restaurant niche. Human Made partnered with Noel Tock in 2013. The customized SaaS product became a website builder now into several versions. (8:02) The most valuable tool with the restaurant dashboard is the analytics and the restaurant data. Restaurant owners want that data. Happytables v2 is still built on WordPress in addition to other technologies. The dashboard uses custom Javascript and a different database using APIs back to WordPress. (11:28) Managing some things like users and website posts allows you to get to market quickly using WordPress as the application framework. (11:52) The JSON API in WordPress core has just come out so there is not a lot of repeatable development and process in the open source yet. (12:46) HappyTables v2 is multi-network which WordPress supports internally. (14:51) To scale the SaaS you need to solve problems at the software engineering levels to address scaling and security. (29:35) Why Stay With WordPress: Happytables is already developed in WordPress. It makes sense to use the technology that does the job best. (ex: user management, publishing, workflow, etc.)  (18:55) The SaaS application can use what WordPress offers for free. Decision Making for a Custom Admin: The standard WordPress admin seemed complicated for new users. (18:56) Noel designed a new admin that was much simpler based on the user's needs. (19:18) The product is not a large complex product. (21:00) In some cases, you are pushing ahead of WordPress with best practices, which may not yet exist. (22:22) Future of WordPress: There is a need to document best practices in WordPress. (ex: If you are building in React and connecting to WordPress you need standard libraries and workflow. (24:32) The current API does not have all the features to take advantage of the additional functionality. There is a lot that has not been exposed in the WordPress API.  (26:21) The API infrastructure was addressed with WordPress core. Not everything is exposed yet in the API. (27:23) The API needs software engineers to extend the functionality. (31:20) Every project that HappyTables does is using the API in some way. (26:44) WordPress will probably be developed to interact with other technologies rather than being everything to everybody.
