I'm doing a limited $49 lifetime deal for Siren Affiliates
at launch. My email list will get early access, and expect it to sell out before I actually launch.

If you're not on the list now, change that. I'm never going to offer a deal this good again.

Please boost for reach! I've been working on this since last August and am really excited to get moving on it.

Which best describes the kind of thing are you trying to sell on your website? I’m thinking about doing a webinar on selling things on your website, but I’m curious on what most of y’all are sellin’ to help me decide on where to start.

The most exciting thing about Siren to me? I’m JUST getting started. Launch will be a solid start, but I have so many ideas on how it can help people develop partnerships online that I’m having trouble prioritizing them.

I am calling Siren an “affiliate plugin” because that’s the easiest way to describe it, it undersells it.

The truth is, Siren is a whole new category unlike anything you’ve ever seen. I’m not competing with other affiliate plugins, I am superseding them.

Setting up deployment and update flows for Siren today. definitely not my favorite part of development, but I will be glad when it’s all set up.

I got to fly the big kite this afternoon! Little guy kept getting ripped up. I had to adjust the birdle a bit, but once I did I was flying high!

The big one is a lot slower, but it pulls you a lot harder, so it’s more of a workout, and still reeeeeeally fun.

Shout out to my science teacher neighbour who blocked me on WhatsApp 6 months ago unblocked me last night, rang me at 11:45pm, text me to say "The Aurora Borealis is outside right now and I don't want you to miss it", sent me a photo of said Aurora Borealis ABOVE MY HOUSE, then blocked me again.

(I didn't see them)

So, I built Siren's documentation portal, and the entire site is built using WordPress and the full-site editor. It's my first complete build using FSE, so I wrote up a reflection on it.

TL;DR It's REALLY gettin' good, y'all.

I’m using OBS, and @kdenlive to record all of my documentation tutorials for Siren. It’s been my setup for a while now. I use @inkscape and @GIMP for art assets and and SVG tweaks. I actually think the only that this is not FOSS that I used to build Siren is PHPStorm 😅

My #GameBoy case from when I was little. The #console yellowed a bit with the years, but it still works fine, from when things were made to last and tech wasn't so finicky. I didn't have many games, so I beat all the ones I had. Mostly Super Mario Land series, Wario Land, R-Type, Metroid, etc. That Prince of Persia game was also good fun and very difficult. I don't collect for the console anymore. It's just a token of my childhood now. #Nintendo #videogames

Something I frequently need in Siren is a flowchart to help explain how different affiliate programs work, so I'm putting together a flowchart block. Making good use of the LeaderLine library and core's group block, as well as an existing card block I already had laying around. Really loving how much less code I'm writing to do simple stuff like flex layouts with full site editing.

I'm still getting used to using a full site theme for WordPress. But WOW today was a win. I'm working on setting up the documentation portal for Siren, and literally just created a custom post type, and that was the extend of the code. I'm able to build all of the template layouts for the post type in the FSE context.

This is REALLY cool!

Instead of getting work done, I spent all day backfilling case studies for web, app, and game projects on my website. Time well spent regardless.
