Write the Bullet
by Dylan Umsted

Write the Bullet is being reborn.

This replacement is more ambitious than others I’ve done. It will take longer, but it continues apace.

The technical bits —

I’ve had a good run with WordPress, but its core is aging poorly: security is an afterthought, and its outdated deployment model doesn’t meet my needs. Essential features require costly third-party extensions that I can’t justify on a site that isn’t yielding revenue. WordPress’ leadership alienated most of the community and distanced WordPress from my goals. Rather than wait for WordPress to implode, I am exploring a more flexible, skill-building alternative that better aligns with my vision. I’m eternally grateful to the community whose ecosystem helped me get started on the Web. WordPress has served me well, but this is a see you later—maybe a goodbye.
