@@thewebstylist :) I am looking forward to hearing more about using WP CLI with WP Studio and Headless WP Development using this new tool. I know Local by Flywheel focused a lot more on the headless wordpress developers.
This is interesting but not groundbreaking or very important to developers. Developers have been using LAMP, MAMP or WAMP stacks with Wordpress installed locally since it was released. XAMPP works easily on Windows and Linux. MAMP works beautifully for you Mac users. Laragon works too.
For sure its more clunky to set up MAMP, but yes, it gives you a system that works. FTP to your hosting when ready - without a tie in to a specific host. That's the weakness here. Once you have developed your site you want to be able to clone it to any hosting.
This is totally bad making websites using WordPress that due only 7 days after latest update published on. I will use 3rd party app as local development is a easy and comfortable with this.
Reminds me of what Local by Flywheel was doing for the WordPress community. But I like that this is native from WordPress itself.
My exact thoughts

Guess WordPress team Hass been getting ambitious! Good.
Agreed
Long overdue. Glad it's here now. Thank you for this video.
LocalWP are going to be super happy when they see this ‘clone’…
This should have been put out a decade ago! 🎉
No kidding.

I agree but I also see it as a way on onboard “normal” users to learn how to develop or at least practice some good testing methods.
Laravel valet also work on mac
Thanks for the video.
will themes and plugins be updated when new versions are released or will everything have to be updated manually?
Great question! I would assume in a development environment like this, you would have to manually update.
Since this is native to WP, it would be nice to see hosting companies integrate with it
Don’t think that will happen since this is a WordPress.com product.
Very interesting! Remember the Joomla local sites that we use to develop!
Please don’t remind me 🤣
i see you use plugins, wasnt this not available in free version? also is there a way to transfer to a domainname where my wordpress org install is?
It's looks nice , but we usually do this using xamp
Still prefer LocalWP just by the fact that it is available for Linux.
Looking good-ish - But that whole sqllite thing - how can i import an existing mysql site for further development?
The database files *should* be compatible for standard WordPress sites. It’s been a while since I’ve been a sysadmin but even 20 years ago they were.
Hey Matt, awesome delivery.
Why are they coming late to the party, though 😀
Only 10 years late. 😁
Automattic has so much on their plate, it’s not surprising!
is there a way to push this to different hosting like godaddy and use also right domain ( for client work ). thanks
This is just for WordPress.com at the moment.
Nice video. :)
Thanks, Matt!
Can you add plugins and themes?
Sure can.
@@WPMinute y didn’t see that

not a lot of devs use mac. why would this be first?
