I have been using WordPress for a long time, and I still love it. But wp-admin<\/code> has basically worked in the same way for years.<\/p>\n

OpenStation<\/strong> is our attempt to change that.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a simple idea: instead of moving from one admin page to another, you have a desktop where you can open different parts of WordPress at the same time.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/figure>\n

Your WordPress. Your workspace.<\/h2>\n

You can open your posts, pages, media, plugins, WooCommerce or any OpenStation app in different windows.<\/p>\n

You can move them around, minimize them or put two things next to each other.<\/p>\n

It may sound like a small difference, but once you start using WordPress this way, it changes a lot.<\/p>\n

Real-time previews<\/h2>\n

You can also see your changes while you are working on them.<\/p>\n

No need to constantly jump between wp-admin and the frontend just to check how something looks.<\/p>\n

Apps inside WordPress<\/h2>\n

This is one of my favorite parts.<\/p>\n

We are building apps like AllTerrain Forms, Photo Editor (And more!) specifically for OpenStation.<\/p>\n

They are still WordPress plugins, but they feel much more like normal desktop apps.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/figure>\n

WordPress on your phone<\/h2>\n

We also wanted OpenStation to work properly on mobile.<\/p>\n

You can install it as a PWA and use WordPress from your phone almost like any other app.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/figure>\n

Performance Is Fast. Really fast.<\/h2>\n

OpenStation is not only about changing how WordPress looks.<\/p>\n

We have put a lot of work into making it fast. In many cases, opening and moving between WordPress screens is faster than using them directly from wp-admin.<\/p>\n

We are also working on caching and preloading parts of WordPress before you need them.<\/p>\n

The goal is very simple: you click something and it opens FAST.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

And it is still WordPress<\/h2>\n

This is important.<\/p>\n

We are not trying to replace WordPress or build another platform on top of it.<\/p>\n

Your plugins are still your plugins. WooCommerce is still WooCommerce. Your content stays in WordPress.<\/p>\n

OpenStation just gives you a different way to use all of it.<\/p>\n

And, of course, it is open source.<\/p>\n

Thank you<\/h2>\n

And finally, a big thank you to everyone in the WordPress community who has tried OpenStation, shared feedback, reported bugs or simply told others about it.<\/p>\n

\"Grid<\/figure>\n

And especially to all the contributors who are helping us build it. OpenStation would not be what it is today without you.<\/p>\n

There is still a lot we want to do, and seeing people contributing, experimenting and building things with OpenStation is probably the best part of the whole project.<\/p>\n
