Pier #16 – FluentBooking, Fluent Comments, Publer, Nuelink & AudioPen

Hi there,

Welcome to the 16th issue of The Pier. This week WPManageNinja has announced the release of not one, but two exciting new plugins. Available for free, Fluent Comments enhances native WordPress comments with AJAX, beautiful design and built-in spam protection. They will also be releasing FluentBooking soon. The alternative to SaaS solutions like Calendly and WordPress plugins like Timetics will provide a seamless scheduling and booking system for webinars, events, sales calls and more.

Here is a selection of the latest and greatest blog posts we published this week on Ahoi.dev. You will also find some interesting industry news, the latest directory listings on The Port, job openings, and deals. Enjoy!
