👑 Reign is coming to the WooCommerce Marketplace.
WooCommerce powers more than four million stores. Direct-response and subscription merchants on WooCommerce will be able to run the Reign checkout and payments on the store they already have.
Thank you to the @WooCommerce and Automattic teams, and to Jesse Friedman (@professor) for giving merchants the tools to be on top.
ALT Reign and Woo logos. Quote: "Reign's arrival in the WooCommerce Marketplace gives direct-response and subscription merchants another way to tailor checkout and payments to how they sell, which is exactly what an open ecosystem is for." Jesse Friedman, Head of WP Cloud at Automattic.

Couldn't be happier to be a WP Cloud partner :) A world class WP hosting platform is a big part of our growth story 💪

This was just merged into Gutenberg trunk, and it’s a much bigger deal than it looks 👇
WordPress is getting a native UI to create custom post types.
No code. No plugins.
Just:
Settings → Post Types → Add
That might sound small… it’s not.
Custom post types go from “developer feature” → “everyday user feature”
Which means:
• Better structured content from day one
• Easier onboarding
• Less plugin dependency
• A cleaner foundation for AI to understand your site
And this is just the start.
Post types → taxonomies → …you can probably guess what comes next
You can see where this is heading…
WordPress is becoming a powerful content modelling system 👀
