Join Matt, Katie, and Aaron as they discuss how to diversify (plugin + SaaS) a WordPress product. They highlight the importance of this subject because it is an up-and-coming and continuing to grow aspect of WordPress products, and it has advantages for serving types of content or doing types of functionality that should not be limited to a WordPress website specifically. Additionally, diversifying a WordPress product can be a good model for certain types of products and can scale more quickly, making it a good option for businesses. Aaron highlights the technical difficulties of supporting and maintaining WordPress plugins due to compatibility issues with hosting providers, themes, and other plugins, making it difficult to ensure compatibility with all possible configurations. The discussion focuses on the various ways to diversify WordPress products, including creating a software as a service (SaaS) product, offering hosting services, and creating a platform or community for your product.
