Hi there,

Welcome to the 58th issue of The Pier. Following up to the exciting announcement of making Cwicly free (see The Pier #57), Louis-Alexander from Cwicly has released an interesting live video about the reasons for discontinuing the no-code site builder for the WordPress builder, its comeback as open source with free access and community-driven development, future monetization, Tailwind-based templates and wireframes, and more. Exciting times ahead!

We would also like to welcome Merchant to The Port.
