WordPress Origin Story

I was on the Google Ad Manager team and we were thinking through the business case for building a WordPress plugin with a few other product teams (eventually became SiteKit). It was also the early days of AMP and I joined Google Team in Belgrade, Serbia for WCEU 2018 for my first WordPress conference. I was blown away by the community, the passion for open source and the spirit of everyone around me. I made friends that I have to this day and have stayed involved in the WordPress ecosystem throughout my Google career before leaving to join Replay.

Replay is free for OSS projects and we think we can debugging a much better experience for WordPress devs all around the world, be a bridge between community contributors and maintainers, and support the use of test automation.
