WordPress Community, I REALLY need your help!

Описание: I’m embarking on a mission to document the untold stories of our industry and I need your voice to make it happen.

I am currently working on two major research projects that will result in two separate documentaries. These projects are designed to bring transparency to the WordPress ecosystem and raise critical awareness about the mental health of independent professionals.

To tell these stories accurately, I need data. If you are a freelancer, a WordPress user, or a plugin developer, please consider taking 10 minutes to contribute to this research.

🧠 1. The Mental Health & Independent Work Survey

This survey is the foundation for a long-term documentary project focused on the impact of working from home and the reality of working in isolation. I am gathering insights from professionals and those with lived experience to present at conferences and on this channel.

Who it’s for: Freelancers, solopreneurs, solo founders, independent creatives (designers, devs, writers, etc.), content creators, and remote workers who work mostly alone.

Goal: 500 responses.
Deadline: April 30th.
Projected Release: Q4 2026 / Q1 2027.

Choose the Survey "Life of a Freelancer"

🔌 2. The WordPress Plugin Trust Surveys

I am investigating the "trust gap" in the WordPress ecosystem. The goal is to produce a publicly available report and a documentary to help improve transparency and communication between those building tools and those using them.

For WordPress Users & Site Owners:
Goal: 500 responses.
Deadline: March 31st.
Projected Release: Q2 2026.

Choose the Survey "Behind the Plugins" for Plugin Users

For WordPress Plugin Developers:
Goal: 250–350 responses.
Deadline: March 31st.

Choose the Survey "Behind the Plugins" for Plugin Developers

The Outcome: A public report for the community and a long format documentary (Youtube) release in mid-to-late Q2 2026.
