Interview with Jewel

1. These days, WordPress plugin developers come and go. You invest in an ecosystem, and a few years or months later you might have to switch because there are no more real updates or the company disappears. What are WPmanageninja’s plans for the next 10 years?
2. A more specific question regarding FluentCommunity and FluentPlayer integration: is a dedicated FluentPlayer Space expected? There’s a great need for a space where, for example, you can post a playlist consisting of several hundred videos in a grid layout, and it would be searchable based on multiple tags. Not everyone wants to organize their videos into courses.

The eLearning landscape is gradually moving from the predominant "Video-based courses" toward "Courses with Interactive Text-based Content". This is because video-based courses are almost saturated and have now ,with some exceptions, mostly failed to engage and excite the learners. Since the Fluent Team doesn't have a standalone LMS plugin, they are doing it with Fluent Community (FC). Although the LMS functionality within FC is evolving gradually, the provision to allow course creators to create "Interactive Text-Based Lessons" in FC is still limited.... we can not use certain custom blocks or some required shortcodes within lessons to make them interactive, engaging and exciting for the learners. In absence of this, the lessons turn boring and fail to engage and attract the learners.

Many competitive LMS plugins have realized this growing shift toward interactive text-based courses from the video-based courses and have made their lesson templates compatible with all types of custom blocks and other relevant elements.

My question to Jewel and the FC Team is whether they are considering making their "LESSONS" template flexible enough to accomodate the said features? This would provide the much-needed flexibility to Course Creators in designing their courses in the most enriching and productive manner. Therein would lie a greater role of the FC LMS in shaping and impacting the efficacy of the Courses created through a greater design flexibility and creation possibilities.

Easy one: sneaky peak into the secret projects of the ninjas 🥷🏻.

Tough one: Rank the WPMN plugins in terms of development priority. 🫣

Updates on Fluent Members and Fluent Events plugins?

Are Fluent Events on their roadmap?

Push notifications for Fluent Community - when???

Fluent Community is amazing. Can we address some type of unified menu system with primary themes? It might be a good idea to launch a fluent Theme or deep integration with other popular themes.

I’d like to know how the FC devs work. How many people work together. How they decide what to do next, what their work lives look like. Because it’s completely opaque to us.
