You get a similar publishing experience to what you’d get on the web through, which is overall a vastly improved experience if you’re coming from using the latest release of WordPress on your self-hosted blog. WordPress has more on specifics of the behind-the-scenes changes for developers and open-source contributors on its website here.Īnd here’s a closer look at the Mac app in action: More than 140 people worked for the past 18 months on Calypso, which shifts from being primarily PHP-driven to primarily JavaScript- and API-driven.

These products were all powered by a project internally codenamed Calypso, and Automattic is now releasing the code open source on GitHub under the GPL v2 license. The company gave us some background on the rebuilt and Mac app experience, which is also going open-source today with the launch, noting that the redesign “shifts from being primarily PHP-driven to primarily JavaScript- and API-driven”: My enthusiasm, however, is keeping in mind that the app essentially feels like the web app in a wrapper, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing once you see how the web app experience has improved with the revamp.īoth the new and Mac app can be used for publishing to sites hosted by WordPress, self-hosted blogs using the open-source WordPress platform, and WordPress VIP customers (like us). I’ve been using the app for a few days leading up to the launch and, for what it is, I quite enjoyed the experience, which essentially mirrors what you get from the new. We’ve been getting a taste of the improvements incrementally over the last year, but today is the company’s official launch.
Today online publishing platform WordPress, which powers approximately 25% of websites on the Internet (this site included), is getting a major redesign with a completely rebuilt and the introduction of a new Mac app.
