I'm your host Eric Caravac. On today's episode, we're going to share a taste of my interview with Devon Walker. Devon was recently named the head aka artistic director of the Jetack plugin. Now, to access the entire interview, check out our WP Minute Plus podcast. Visit the wpmin.com for all the details and to become a member. Thanks, and we'll see you again soon. Yeah. You've got you've got a vision and and you want to carry that out, right? >> Yeah. Got to be set up for success. You know what I mean? >> So, looking at the big picture, like if we're going like a year from now, we're approaching Halloween here. If we're looking at Halloween 2026, where would you like to see Jetpack compared to where it is today? >> Yeah. Well, I think a it's going to be um a much better connection experience. When I uh have worked with the happiness engineers, the almost every other ticket, more than that, I'd say 75 to 80% of the tickets had to do with a connection issue. There was some sort of issue communicating between our cloud and their site. And it can't be that way. And whether it's their host is blocking XML RPC, we've created like this other version, there's just so much complexity in it that the the baseline of the whole thing to work on self-hosted is for that connection to be stable. And there needs to be transparency within that connection isn't. You need to get a uh the customer needs to know when it's not or what's happening. That's going to make our happiness engineers a lot more efficient. It's going to make the the customers a lot uh more satisfied with the the quality and uptime of the product. And so that that's just baseline right there, right? Whether that means getting rid of XML RPC and writing the whole thing in REST, which already has a lot of restful um methods and functions within it. Uh I need to understand that more. But uh that's one and that's probably a bigger task than I'm giving it. two, uh, the form building experience. We don't have conditional fields yet. We need conditional fields. That is something there's no excuse in 2025 not to have that. So, conditional fields having that in there. A much better building experience where uh you have a form builder interface. Right now, you when you build a form, you you have to do it in a page or post that you see uh and build it right there. That's not like any traditional form builder out there like Gravity Forms. our biggest competitors, right? The the customers, our users are used to using it in a in an actual form builder isolated interface where you don't have all these blocks and it's not confusing. And so changing that experience so it's uh a much more traditional yet cutting edge way to do it. And then finally, uh, improving our already existing AI integration, which, um, if you've written with it, does an okay job, but it's getting old and hasn't been touched as much as it should. Uh, that can be a lot more improved. And, uh, and then finally, thinking about what the the big big next things are, right? or not even just thinking about it, getting started on that and already have been started like whether that's called version 16 or whether it's a whole more aggressive approach having that in the wheels going on that while also turning out and marketing the hell out of it and having a really nice website that's constantly updated and not just posting articles. Um, that's all what I want to get going. >> So, you're you're coming in to ruffle some feathers, right? you're not just going to let this thing sit there and rot like that's my job. Like that's what Matt brought me in for is bringing that outside perspective, being in the community, having done it before, not like getting like I I I want to make some moves here and uh and build the 10x this product essentially. And you can't do that by hoham. I'll just do this little I like like let's add this little field here and change the color, YouTube Video 2vErrhFmREI, YouTube, 01kac42apdz6de7vqx1mzsap0j.
