I’m Konstantin, a webdev from Vienna, Austria. I studied Content Production and Digital Media Management and taught myself how to code on the side, so I’m interested in all things that are on the intersect of programming and (digital) media, so naturally, this project is very intriguing to me.
Many thanks for your suggestion! We already submitted Frontity to a few of those sites but our submission is still under review in some of them. In Betapage the project has actually been published today. It would be great if you could upvote it: https://betapage.co/startup/frontity.
If you have any other suggestions, please feel free to share them in the Communication category. New ideas are always welcome! Thanks again!

Philip Ingram here, 43yr old from S. California, full stack but front is my passion. I also love riding dirt bikes, being outdoors, working out, drinking good craft beer and I love me some good ol fashioned punk rock music!
I started in telecom back in the early 90s running coax/copper/fiber Ethernet networks and building out server rooms then moved into Key/PBX phone system programming which by the late 90’s had me writing small programs mostly for proprietary systems. I then worked into back haul stuff like WAN (P2P/MPLS/ISDN…) provisioning and router programming and then got heavily into VoIP early 2k which is where I really started getting involved w/ Wordpress installing sites w/ scripts that integrated with the hosted VoIP Cloud PBX services (much like Twilio of today), i.e. click to call, scheduling appts, IVR-type stuff.
Late 2007, between the US housing market crash and my wife’s diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis I found myself at a crossroads needing to stay close to home + the telecom industry struggled a few years so I leaned heavily on my Wordpress skills to pick up more freelance work building sites mostly for small SEO firms. I did this mostly by volunteering online in forums and groups where I could pick up work through others inquiring about my work.
Over the years I’ve picked up my own client base, written custom themes, plugins and have played with all the page builders and most of the starter themes and while many I am still fond of, I am extremely excited at the possibility to work w/ Frontity!
By the way, I noticed your REST API sometimes takes several seconds to load… I recommend you to try this cache plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rest-cache/. We’ve tested it here and it works really well.
I’m Arjuna. A developer from Trinidad & Tobago and something of a jack of all trades. My main passion is learning but I love building great experiences for users. I also have a background in stock music production and visual art is another hobby I enjoy a lot.
Really love React and Wordpress and I’m excited to build some cool things using this platform!
I’m in the process of redesigning a small online magazine / blog and Frontity seems perfect for my use case. Originally I had built the website with its own custom CMS but over time, the feature list started becoming more and more like what Wordpress offers by itself. I really do like React for the frontend though and Frontity kind of just brings the best of both worlds.
I’ll definitely ask for help when I have any doubts!
