Open-source WordPress notes and updates

Open WP Club started with plugins, but we’re not stopping there. Here’s what we’re building next and where the project is headed.

More plugins

We’ll keep building focused WordPress plugins that solve real problems. Our pipeline includes tools for:

  • WooCommerce automation — Order processing, inventory sync, and reporting
  • Security hardening — Login protection, file integrity monitoring, and audit logging
  • Performance — Image optimization, caching helpers, and database cleanup
  • Admin experience — Dashboard widgets, bulk actions, and workflow tools

If you have a plugin idea, open an issue or suggest it in Discord.

Desktop app for WooCommerce

We’re building a native desktop application for managing WooCommerce stores. The goal: handle orders, inventory, and customers without opening a browser tab. It’s currently in early development.

Mobile app for WooCommerce

An Android app for checking orders and getting push notifications for new sales and low-stock alerts. Still in the planning phase, but it’s on the roadmap.

Developer tools

CLI tools and utilities that make WordPress development less painful:

  • Scaffolding tools for new plugins
  • Deployment helpers
  • Local development environment setup

Website improvements

We’re continuing to improve openwpclub.com with better search, filtering, and content. The site itself is open source — feel free to contribute.

How to get involved

Everything we build is open source from day one. The best way to influence what we build is to contribute:

  • Join Discord for real-time discussion
  • Star and watch repos you’re interested in on GitHub
  • Open issues for bugs, features, or ideas
  • Submit PRs — first-timers welcome

We don’t have a timeline because we don’t have deadlines. We ship when things are ready. But we’re actively working on all of the above, and you’re welcome to help.
