ISSUE № 7 • JANUARY 10, 2024

Happy New Year, everyone! Technically, this is the second newsletter of the new year, but it's probably most people's first full week back. I took a much-needed two weeks off at the end of 2023, but I'm back in full force now!

Welcome back to the weekly newsletter and all things The WP World. There's a lot on the roadmap for this month/quarter/year, so stay tuned. If you have something you'd like to see here, don't forget that you can always submit a feature request or simply reply to this email!
