Maybe the recent and ongoing drama in Wordpress circles will provide an opportunity for Realmac to pick up some more customers? ---

Maybe. Definitely a bad player at WP Engine. But through the years Wordpress has made some goofy moves also. So we will see. ---

Just hitting the headlines with the drama will introduce doubt for some people. If only a few hundred of the many thousands of WP developer’s and website owners have second thoughts and give Realmac a try, it could be significant for Elements funding I think. Note: my number guesses are just that, guesses. They are to place-holders for actual numbers that might or might not mean something. /endNote ---

We plan on shipping a public beta before the end of the year so anyone/everyone can take Elements for a spin! ---

Hopefully the Trojan horse nonsense happening within is the linchpin that finally unravels Wordpress. It was already becoming a mess before all this. ---

We already have a contact name for the list : the former executive director of the WordPress project (I won’t mention the name, as even jokes can be respectful). Hope that helps 🤪
