Plugged Into Programming - From WordPress Plugins To Micro SaaS

Jamie Robe

37 episodes

We are exploring what it means to be a creative solo-programmer / solo-founder, and how to harness the power of WordPress by developing our own custom plugins. Plugins can be stand-alone products, all the way to the core of a micro SaaS, WaaS, or even XaaS bootstrapped business. Along the way we will learn how to code in PHP, JavaScript, and leverage the cool functions and hooks and libraries that come with the WordPress framework. The potential for creating new experiences and value for users is limited only by our creativity. Hosted by Jamie Robe, solo-founder of PluggedIntoProgramming.com

Day 0 - Purchase and setup

I am doing a 30 day series on my real life evaluation of the crocoblock framework. It is a series of plugins designed for no code development of wordpress sites. I am trying it out as a RAD for one of my own micro-SaaS projects. I called this Day 0, since it was my wedding anniversary and I only had about an hour or so free to purchase it and install on a basic cloudways dev site.

Before installing crocoblocks, I did a WP install, adding mainwp (which I use for monitoring and managing all my sites and micro-SaaS apps), and updraftplus (my backup plugin of choice). I then used the crocoblock wizard to get things going.

The wizard allowed me to easily install the free version of the GeneratePress theme. I happen to have a premium license of GP so I downloaded the plugin .zip from GP's wensite, so now I have the full premium version running. crocoblock claims 100% compatibility with GP (and a half dozen other good plugin choices).

This episode is part of a 30 day test I am doing to crash-learn how to use the crocoblock ecosystem of plugins. I am building or should I say rebuilding one of my micro-SaaS apps that I previously developed using PODS, and lots of custom code. I want to see how far I can push crocoblocks :) I will save any coding for my secret sauce of the functionality of the application.
