Welcome to the 95th issue of The Pier. This week the BuddyBoss team announced the exciting roadmap for Q2, including multilingual app support, app onboarding slides, image & video carousel blocks, native app support for The Events Calendar, activity topics and – most excitingly – BuddyBoss ReadyLaunch, which will allow you to use BuddyBoss Web with any WordPress theme without the need for subdomain or multisite setup.

Finally: LatePoint has just released a highly requested new integration with SureCart that allows you to easily accept payments for appointment bookings.

Rebranding: SureTriggers is now called OttoKit. The next step is the launch of AI Agents, your “digital teammate”. Stay tuned!

Acquisition: Tyler from PaywallProject has acquired Newsletter Glue, which also powers The Pier. Lesley and Achmed have already started work on a new plugin called EventKoi.

👋 Gravitec Smart Subscriptions

Gravitec has just released the first smart subscription system for web push notifications on the market. It automatically switches between 1-click (native) and 2-click subscriptions. The unique algorithm analyzes user behaviour and Google requirements to automatically switch subscription methods.

This allows you to increase new subscribers by up to +200%, avoid the risk of being blocked by Google and maintain a stable growth of your subscriber base.
