All of the coverage and opinions I’ve read have focused on the longer term impact to the WordPress ecosystem itself.

I’m an enthusiastic longtime paying user of Pocket Casts and Day One.

Now that employees are leaving in droves (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41872046) I fear for both.

Pocket Casts is the only podcast app that has ever clicked for me.

I’ve invested significant time and personal writing and media into Day One journals. Privacy concerns aside, it’s an app and platform I enjoy using.

How many of the employees fleeing Automattic couldn’t care less about WordPress but are the product and technical expertise behind these other products?

Sorry I'm out of the loop these days with most tech news. I checked your link but I guess I don't really get it.

Can someone quickly explain what's going on with WP? Thx
