Launched Sail Premium (+giveaway), Surge updates and more

Hope you all had some time off. I certainly did, and it feels good! Quite a few things on my mind over these past few weeks, mostly around Sail of course.

I published a new guide on my blog, a very simple step-by-step tutorial on getting started with Sail, exploring some of the essential features, but also touching slightly on advanced topics, like deployments.

If you haven’t had a chance to try out Sail yet, I highly recommend at least skimming over this before diving deeper:

I’ve also officially launched our premium offering for Sail, with managed backups, uptime and health monitoring, and image optimization.

I still have some licenses to give away to early adopters, so if you tried Sail and you love it, let me know and I’ll send you a premium license.

My caching plugin Surge has been doing well too, over 700 active installs through word of mouth mostly. Roy Tanck has published a blog post about the recently added configuration feature, and spoiler alert - there’s still no configuration/settings screen.

Finally, my usual ranting on Twitter hasn’t gone unnoticed this week. This time it’s about security, and the fact that I had to write a simple database query to get some data, but it ended up looking very long and complex, mainly because the table prefix was unnecessarily long and cryptic.

Have a great weekend ahead and stay safe!
