We’re all building products that make WordPress more powerful. We also share responsibility for the ecosystem we’re building. As a founder and a member of this community, I won’t turn another product’s security incident into a sales pitch for my own. No platform is immune. Company size, reputation, and customer numbers don’t make that risk disappear. That includes us. Sharing verified information and helping affected users is valuable. Using their worry to say “our system is better, come trust us” is an approach I’m uncomfortable with. Behind every affected product are people working through a difficult moment. They deserve support, and their users deserve practical help. And this is the principle I want to carry with me as we grow: compete through the value we create, support each other when things go wrong, and take responsibility for our own promises.

When you run a WordPress business, growth pressures your time long before it shows up in your revenue. That’s what I’m building @SiteSkite to help with: giving you the capacity to serve more clients while keeping the day-to-day work manageable. This update moves us closer to that goal. More room to build, strengthen client relationships, and pursue the next opportunity. To everyone who backed SiteSkite early: thank you. Your trust means a lot to me, and there’s more work ahead.

The advanced reporting system is soon going to be live. @siteskite

Good to see the progress without any effort.

Yay!!! I finally got accepted into the Claude Startups program! 🎉 Founders, don't be shy. Enroll in the Claude Startups program. Thanks @claudeai

It's really worth every penny.

agree?

Adobe Illustrator's web version is free or I am late to know :)

You will be surprised; just type: Roast me plz :) in ChatGPT.

But still, I am on @cursor_ai

Thank you, @GoInfluenceWP & @PineDigitalCo, for sharing a first look at SiteSkite! 🙏 Seeing someone explore what I’m building means a lot. My goal is simple: make creating, managing, and maintaining WordPress sites easier, all in one place. WebOps for WordPress. I’m also expanding @SiteSkite MCP with more AI tools for page editing, WooCommerce, and forms, plus draft previews and rollback for supported AI changes. Site MCP is free. No SiteSkite account required. wordpress.org/plugins/sitesk… Grateful for the support as I keep building. 💛

What's your site domain rating? Mine is 21 so far :)

I’ve made the @SiteSkite Sandbox experience much simpler—and much faster. 🚀 Your fresh WordPress sandbox now spins up in just 1–2 seconds. Choose the plugins you need during setup, and SiteSkite installs them for you. Each site runs in its own isolated Docker container, giving you a separate environment to build, experiment, and test plugins without touching your live site. As a developer, I know how much repetitive setup slows you down. This update is about getting you straight to the work you actually want to do. It's free.

This post is not my usual flashy screen-recording or product-feature post. This one is about security. Today, we implemented Ed25519 digital signatures in SiteSkite—and honestly, the way this security model works blew my mind. So, what is Ed25519? In simple terms, SiteSkite can sign a request or payload using a private key. The receiving application verifies it using a public key. If the data is changed—even slightly—the signature will no longer be valid. The interesting part is how this compares with HMAC, a standard practice used by platforms such as GitHub and Shopify for securing webhook deliveries. HMAC uses the same shared secret to both create and verify a signature. It is secure and works extremely well when two trusted systems can safely share that secret. Ed25519 uses a different model: 🔐 The private key creates the signature 🔎 The public key verifies it 🚫 The public key cannot create a valid signature ⚡ Verification is fast, with small keys and compact signatures This means we can distribute the public key without exposing the private signing key. For an application connecting with hundreds or thousands of WordPress websites, this provides stronger separation of responsibility and reduces the risk of sharing one powerful secret across multiple systems. HMAC is not “bad,” and Ed25519 is not automatically better for every situation. They solve the same trust problem using different models. GitHub and Shopify commonly use HMAC-SHA256 for webhook verification, while Discord uses Ed25519 to verify incoming HTTP interactions. For SiteSkite’s growing architecture, Ed25519 is the better fit. Our team implemented it, thoroughly tested it, and I personally validated the complete flow. As founders, we naturally focus on what customers can see: new features, better interfaces, and faster workflows. But as a platform grows, we must also focus on what customers may never see. Is the architecture secure? Can it scale safely? Are we following the right engineering practices? Are we protecting the trust customers place in us? This is not something we simply prompt and generate. It requires research, engineering judgment, careful implementation, and proper testing. Building useful technology is important. Building it securely—and protecting the value our customers entrust to us—is even more important. That responsibility will always be part of how we build SiteSkite. Technical references: GitHub and Shopify officially document HMAC-SHA256 for webhook verification, while Discord requires Ed25519 validation for HTTP interactions.

Real-time notifications now surface connection issues, security alerts, updates, backups, and reports as they happen—making WordPress WebOps clearer, faster, and easier to manage. See what matters. Take action immediately.

Just noticed @ChatGPT introduced the Sites feature, where we can host and set a custom domain. And it's free!

One thing I strongly believe as a founder: if you create something, you should be able to own it. That’s why we have added one-click GitHub export to SiteSkite AI Site Studio. If you don’t have hosting yet—or simply want to keep your AI-generated Sandbox Site safely backed up in your own repository—you can now export it directly to GitHub with one click. Create your website with AI, refine it inside SiteSkite, save it to your own GitHub repository, and deploy it whenever you’re ready. No hosting pressure. No platform lock-in. Your website. Your repository. Your control. This is another small but meaningful step toward the kind of open and flexible AI website-building experience I’ve always wanted SiteSkite to provide. #SiteSkite #AISiteStudio #GitHub #AIWebsiteBuilder #WordPressAI #WebOps #buildinpublic

Seems Gemini and DeepSeek are down.

Confession: until two months ago, I had literally never used Canva. I’ve always been a Figma and Photoshop guy—but AI completely changed how I see creative tools. Now, I use @canva almost every day. With ready-made resources and conversational AI, I can create, iterate, and improve ideas incredibly fast. AI is reducing the gap between beginner-friendly and high-end software. The tool matters less; your ideas, taste, and creative direction matter more. That’s what I’ve experienced. What do you think?
