WordPress publishing software can now run entirely in a web browser, the organization behind the open source publishing software Announce Wednesday. Through a new service called my.WordPress.netWordPress allows users to set up a site and start publishing without signing up, setting up a hosting plan, or registering a domain. Instead, the new solution leverages the same technology that powers WordPress demos and makes it available as a permanent personal publishing platform.
There’s a big caveat to running WordPress this way: sites set up on my.WordPress.net are private by default and cannot be accessed from the public internet.
“It is not optimized for traffic, discovery, or presentation, nor does it need to be,” A Blog post Explains the introduction of the new service. “Instead, WordPress becomes a personal environment where ideas can exist before they are ready to be shared, or where they may never be shared at all.”
Sites created through this service are linked to your web browser, with their data saved in your browser’s storage. This means that you cannot access the site from another device. But you can move your site to a dedicated WordPress host if you want to make it public.
This positions WordPress as a personal workspace for activities such as private writing, journaling, drafting, researching, learning, or creating tools for personal use. For the latter, my.WordPress.net comes with an App Catalog that offers a variety of built-in tools using WordPress plugins, including a personal CRM, a personal RSS reader, a bookmarking tool, an AI workspace, and more.
The post indicates that my.WordPress.net is supported by WordPress playgroundthe open source project that lets you install WordPress on any device with one click and integrate with it OpenAI and CLI applications To create new tools. As a result, you can use the AI Assistant to edit my.WordPress.net, to do things like modify a plugin or create a new one.
You can also ask the Assistant about data stored in WordPress, which it remembers, allowing WordPress to become a personal knowledge base accessible by AI.
The service will take longer to start up the first time you use it, the publication warns and recommends that you should save backups regularly. Its storage capacity starts at around 100MB, making it better for personal apps and smaller use cases.
If you ever want to delete your current work, you can click the button to reset the site. Or you can set up new, temporary instances that reset themselves when you refresh the browser.
The launch of the service comes after the formation WordPress AI Team Last year, we focused on launching new AI products for the developer community. The commercial hosting platform WordPress.com was also launched AI website builder Last year that lets you design a site using a chatbot AI style interface.
