For the AI specialists here…
Is there a possibility that AI could generate videos of WPoptic in use? With an automated planning/publishing on TikTok YT Shorts, etc?
WPoptic is a Chrome extension which detects WordPress plugins so the workflow would be…
1: Visit a WordPress site
2: Open WPoptic

Most projects don’t fail because they were bad ideas.
They fail because they stop before the compounding begins.
Right now, WPoptic is a Chrome extension with serious plugin detection power.
But the real vision is bigger:
A searchable, visual plugin database.
What’s your project slowly becoming?

Since this morning, WPoptic has been experiencing technical issues with our extension. Our development team is currently investigating, and there’s a possibility that we may be facing a DDoS attack.

It’s been about 1 year ago when I started working on WPoptic.
Right now, 1 year later, we are almost at that point in time when it’s close to perfection.
Could we have done it faster? Sure..
Could we have done it leaner? Yes…
But sometimes you just want to share it when you are 100% happy

I didn’t build WPoptic to become a feature factory.
I built it to solve something specific.
Now that the data system is live, I’ve decided to stop adding more features.
At least for now.
Why?
Because it’s time to listen.
Next step: talk to users.
Ask what they really want.

It's important to celebrate all minor things right.
WPoptic has scanned over 2000 sites since the start only 2 weeks ago.
Let's see how fast we can hit our next milestone.

Not rushing WPoptic. Freelancers may slow things, but I chose this path:
→ Freedom
→ Focus
→ Long-term building
No pressure to scale fast. No meetings about meetings. Just me, a roadmap, and trusted freelancers.
Who else prefers solo or lean teams?

Since the beginning of WPoptic, I have kept a small journal of all the steps I take.
I also wrote down how much I have already invested in this.
How much would u guess?
My goal is to break even by the end of this year without going bankrupt haha.

This week, we have planned to relaunch our website for WPoptic.
What will be different?
1: New design
2: Added plugin detection through a URL
3: Plugin analytics according to our database
And a lot more to come. Keep an eye on our website to check it out when it is relaunced.

Not sprinting. Not stalling.
WPoptic 2.0 is in dev, and I’m prepping everything for relaunch: extension, site, database.
It’s that quiet-before-the-storm phase — weird but powerful.
You know that feeling?

WPoptic is early-stage, and I love it. Big things coming—full plugin stats & searchable insights in 2 months.
It’s quiet now, but the potential is loud. That’s what keeps me going. Most quit here—I’m not most people.
What’s firing you up lately?

Had chances to sell or partner on WPoptic, but didn’t. Why? I want to build on my own terms—no pressure, no board meetings, no exit plan. Just me, my roadmap, and a vision to truly help people. Freedom isn’t a luxury. It’s a strategy. What would you never compromise on?

Data only becomes valuable when people can use it.
With WPoptic
We’ve built the database.
We’ve automated plugin detection.
Now we’re designing the front-end that makes everything come to life.
You’ll be able to browse plugin usage by:
– Country
– Growth or decline
– Language

I had the honor of doing an interview with WPfounders!
In it, I shared a bit about my background, my goals with WPoptic and WPsupporters, and how I see the future of WordPress.
I think it turned out to be a fun read, giving some nice insights and thoughts around my new project.

WPoptic 2.0 is 90% done.
And this last stretch? It’s the hardest part yet.
Not because it’s technical.
But because it’s all about clarity.
How do I turn plugin data into a simple, addictive interface?
