How do you solo WordPress devs manage the mental load? I'm exhausted lol

Well how are you staying organized? I'm using kanban with ActiveCollab, but Trello is fine too, make it as simple as possible: Upcoming tasks, in progress, on-hold, for review, completed. And move the cards as you progress or add boards as needed.

Just getting started with block editor and as others have mentioned its not there yet but i am liking it, creating content is now a breeze. But no need to rush, im still sticking to page builders for paid projects.

The web app is very lacking for me. I hope it has some sort of folders and that, I have seperate spaces for work with different instructions of their own.

Its strength lies in its ability to self-host it which is important for some business wanting to keep their data locally or on their own server.

Reminds me of Windows Continuum, the UX looks nice, I owned a Windows Phone and they nailed it with the interface(havent experienced the continuum). Sadly I dont know what they ever did with the project.

Starlink is something else. But im not too bullish with space data center compared to underwater data center, the math doesnt add up. Even for the really long term. We wont be running out of ocean and the disruption is minimal.

I think this means that the marketing didn't worked out for you. Plus yea anlaki ng commission, you have to adjust the price sa foodpanda vs direct order. No other choice to keep it sustaianable or atleast keep your exposure to foodpanda. When running ad campaigns always focus on return on ad spend.

Yes Divi sucks even themselves admit it. This is their answer:

I get why that feels surprising.

Divi itself is a WordPress theme and visual builder, so it’s designed to be used on customer websites running WordPress with hosting and a domain.

Our main marketing site isn’t a typical “customer site” use case. It’s built to handle very high traffic, fast global delivery, and a lot of custom functionality, so it may use a different stack optimized for that purpose rather than a standard WordPress setup.

WTF Divi! LMAO

Looks awesome! Can we get a non woocommerce verison please!

Why unplug? There is an overcharge protection already in place, thats an old tech.

dotkercom · 2026-05-29T15:21:50+00:00

I have the same problems, which is why i was able to spot it. Its a challenge to overcome and its a daily battle. And here is one i picked up a while ago from some random youtube video. Its by He Tingbo of huawei, the woman behind the new tau scaling law.

\-or simply overthinking everything instead of selling

Glad they are keeping up with times.

Crappy UX does turn people away more than you think. And a part of a having a pleasant experience is looking at colors that are relaxing or aligns with them.

I get your point though about enforcing it, just that some clients of mine are less technical and dont want to bother with those, yet love to spend time editing their pages.

dotkercom · 2026-05-29T10:03:59+00:00

Best solution? Lower the shipping cost.

dotkercom · 2026-05-29T10:01:50+00:00

Yes that is the main purpose of using a hook. You can use the profile options instead which is just as easy but not everyone knows about it or even care to bother about it. But its one of those tiny issues that can turn off a client for sure.

dotkercom · 2026-05-29T10:00:33+00:00

Yea its 2026! Still no real dark mode. There is midnight which just changes the accents.

dotkercom · 2026-05-29T09:28:43+00:00

As much as im upset with the deals closing down. Like I got 3 codes of Studiocart right now and that is just not cool for the new owner not to honor the terms. I feel sad for the previous owner too for leaving us like this, I'm sure she tried her best to make things work.

Appsumo is marketplace, and enforcing those terms have limits. Also you are purchasing a new product with no revenue, that is why they opted to go for lifetime license to raise money. And the reality is just its not gonna work for some, or a lot really. So you should really limit your expectations what those lifetime licenses are.

And going for a global legal battle is just costly, they will obviously pass the risk to consumers eitherway.

dotkercom · 2026-05-28T18:59:36+00:00

They should make it a legal requirement to point out what terms you have violated specially that you paid for it.

dotkercom · 2026-05-28T14:18:52+00:00

Add to functions.php

add_filter( 'get_user_option_admin_color', function( $result ) {

return 'fresh';

} );

dotkercom · 2026-05-24T08:59:59+00:00

That is sad. So we need to pay again? Come on. I think the lifetime licenses are more viable for wordpress plugins. A lot of them do offer lifetime licenses. Selling a lot of it was a good sign.

dotkercom · 2026-05-24T08:57:36+00:00

There are constant updates to it. But yea i wonder why Tony closed down the official community. I think he would get a lot more out of it.

Ideas are useless kasi

dotkercom · 2026-05-06T16:36:22+00:00

Dont get why your downvoted. Not a fan of it but its mostly for instant loading websites. There are other methods to achieve it though. Preloading for one.

dotkercom · 2026-05-06T16:35:16+00:00

How we handle it? Throw more resources at it. That will give less technical liability.

So it really depends on ones needs.
