Pier #38 - YITH, Barn2, Cwicly, Komodo, Plugin Planet & SamCart

Stefan from Ahoi.dev | The Pier #38 | Friday, 8 Mar 2024

Hi there,

Welcome to the 38th issue of The Pier. This week Katie from Barn2 announced a new home for seven of their paid and free WooCommerce plugins. Kestrel, a new venture from the former co-founders of SkyVerge (now part of GoDaddy), has acquired WooCommerce Variation Prices, Express Shop Page, Shipping Calculator, Product Sample, Discontinued Products and more. Existing customers with annual and lifetime licenses will continue to receive full support, updates and maintenance.

This week I’m sending The Pier a little earlier than usual, as I’m currently waiting at Delhi airport for my connecting flight.

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!
