Can AI Help Us Bring Back the Fun, Weird Web?
<p>The web lost its sense of fun somewhere along the way, and Nick Hamze wants it back. In this episode of Impressive Hosting, he and Jesse Friedman trade ideas about a future where websites are an expression of both the creator and the visitor, not a sea of beige and sans-serif sameness.</p><p>They riff on RSS, semantic content, and the idea of layering your own design over any page you visit. Imagine stripping away ads, keeping the content, and viewing the entire web through a lens you built yourself. They even revisit Microsoft Bob and picture a reader that presents blog posts like cable access television.</p><p>Underneath the playfulness is a serious point about the cost of universal solutions: the same theme, the same textbook, and the same website for everyone strips away value. This is a forward-looking conversation for anyone thinking about what WordPress, hosting, and the open web could become.</p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href="https://regionallyfamous.com">Regionally Famous</a></li><li><a href="https://panelalpha.com">Panel Alpha</a></li><li><a href="https://rtcamp.com">RTCamp</a></li><li><a href="https://elementor.com">Elementor</a></li><li><a href="https://gravatar.com">Gravatar</a></li><li><a href="https://jetpack.com">Jetpack</a></li><li><a href="https://developer.wordpress.com/studio/">Studio</a></li><li><a href="https://archive.org">Archive.org</a></li><li><a href="https://mediatemple.net">Media Temple</a></li><li><a href="https://wlog.fm">wlog.fm</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcuhqbiRLyY" title="Click here to watch a video of this episode.">Click here to watch a video of this episode.</a><br> </p>

What If Building Websites Was Always Fun?
<p>Nick Hamze is building 500 WooCommerce themes with AI while he and Jesse talk. Nick explains why niche themes for plumbers and pizzerias beat the same old coffee shop demo. This conversation will change how you think about AI in WordPress hosting. The future of WordPress is weirder and more wonderful than you think. </p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href="https://regionallyfamous.com">Regionally Famous</a></li><li><a href="https://miles.dev">Miles</a></li><li><a href="https://jetpack.com">Jetpack</a></li><li><a href="https://richtabor.com">Rich Tabor</a></li><li><a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/storefront/">Storefront</a></li><li><a href="https://brewprotect.com">Brew Protect</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMlNMCFAoaU" title="Click here to watch a video of this episode.">Click here to watch a video of this episode.</a><br> </p>
