Hey look at that, we just crossed 5,000 @BuildWithOllie users. We're not quite at the moon yet, but we're on our way. 🛹➡️🌝

Good morning! ☀️ Today I'm hyped to share that Class Manager is live in Ollie Pro! Class Manager is a powerful and intuitive new way of working with CSS classes and styles in the WordPress editor. Super lightweight, native, and built for scale. Check out the video below!

We just launched Ollie Pro Extensions – game-changing editor tools that supercharge your WordPress building experience. Animations, advanced grid + column controls, keyboard shortcuts, and more. All seamlessly integrated into the native editor. Let me show you what we built →

It's here! Menu Designer has landed at WP.org! Menu Designer is a powerful new way to build beautiful mobile menus and dropdown menus in the @WordPress block editor — no coding required. And now it's available right in your dashboard. wordpress.org/plugins/oll...

Chatted with @raemoreywrites yesterday about Menu Designer, a new take on WP core contributions, and what to expect from Ollie going forward. www.therepository.email/ollies-new-...

It's here! Introducing Menu Designer, a powerful new way to build beautiful mobile menus and dropdown menus in the @WordPress block editor — no coding required. 🔮 My prediction: this will become the way we build menus in WordPress. olliewp.com/menu-designer

Sure, I should be doing some work, but I couldn't get this phrase out of my head after @patrickposner_ said this about the way I release products. Had to make something with it.

Coming this week...

Part of our upcoming @WordPress block editor suite of builder tools: Menu Designer. Create beautiful, responsive mobile & mega menus right in the native block editor. Dozens of 👌 designs included. Blazing-fast, lightweight, intuitive, inevitable. Coming soon.

Ollie Pro is one year old! @patrickposner_ and I put everything we had into @buildwithollie this past year, building something we're super proud of. Here are the highlights and numbers from an absolutely wild year. Spoiler alert: we were cookin'! 🔥

Yesterday I chatted with @mikemcalister.com about his new free block and theme dev courses on Ollie, how AI is impacting dev education, his experience with Sensei LMS and FSE, and where WordPress should focus next. Catch it in your Podcast app or on YouTube. webmasters.fm/free-wordpre...

We're just two dudes drinkin' cold brews and talkin' shop. Join @briancoords and myself as we talk modern dev education and where @WordPress should focus to round out the builder experience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVA...

A few weeks ago, we launched the Ollie Theme Academy, a free video course for modern WordPress theme development. And today, we're releasing ANOTHER free video course. Introducing the Ollie Block Academy, a free custom block development course. olliewp.com/block-academy/

Working on redesigning my personal site with this vibe.

I just pushed live a trusted developer page for @BuildWithOllie. We get asked often for recommendations of devs who can build with @WordPress full site editing and Ollie. You will be in good hands with these folks: olliewp.com/ollie-devel...

Big props to @mikemcalister.com for launching this massive free video course about building with full site editing. olliewp.com/theme-academy/

Right before we announced Ollie Pro 2.0, I quietly launched a design refresh on olliewp.com. For the design nerds out there, here's a quick thread of some of my favorite details of the redesign.

Ollie Pro 2.0 is here and it brings a whole new suite of powerful tools to your WordPress site! The Ollie Pro pattern library combined with our intuitive new setup wizard makes Ollie a game changer for builders. Check out the full thread to learn more: x.com/mikemcalist...

What a crazy time to be alive. The minute-by-minute race towards faster, better, more efficient AI is like a modern day space race. We are living through one of those transitionary technology periods and like it or not, things will never be the same again.

Ollie Pro 2.0 is coming THIS WEEK. This isn't just a setup wizard. This isn't just starter sites. This is the foundation of a new way of building with WordPress. We're raising the bar for design and user experience, and ushering in the next wave of WordPress creators. olliewp.com/subscribe/

Tech creatives don't really think of WordPress as a place where great design or product development happens. And there's good reason — we haven't done a great job of attracting and keeping design/product talent. It’s part economics, part marketing, part industry, part vibes.

It's almost here! Ollie Pro 2.0 is on the launch pad. 💥 Introducing an intuitive new Theme Studio 💥 Blazing-fast site setup wizard 💥 Instant site creation with Ollie Starter Sites Hit play and hang on to your seat. 💺

There's a special kind of energy you get when you're about 85% done with a new product or feature and you can see the vision coming together even better than you planned for. All that to say: hold on to your butts!

v2 of the much anticipated Ollie Quick Start wizard is on the way. 🏁 Quick Start takes the pain out of your initial site setup, helping you quickly create starter pages, generate color palettes, customize type, pick layouts, and a ton more. Turn 2 hours into 2 minutes. ⏲️

Watching teams rush toward AI while overlooking core user experience reminds me that sometimes the most impactful improvements are the simplest ones we already know how to make.
