tl;dr – we’re developing an official Easy Digital Downloads add-on plugin which will connect your EDD store to FastSpring. It will be released in October and you can follow the development via newsletter. But let’s roll back and let me tell you the whole story.
A month ago, Kobe sent me a bunch of very interesting questions I was more than happy to answer to. Now, a month later, the interview has been published. It’s a story how I’ve shifted the focus from developer to a marketer and more business guy. Here it is, by yours truly:
Inspired by Ionut’s interview, I’ve reached out to Courtland a couple of weeks ago for an interview about ProteusThemes. Fast forward some weeks and some long night of writing, the interview has hit the front page of the Indie Hacker’s website yesterday.
At ProteusThemes we’ve lately started to focus more on the content marketing. I am by no means the expert of the field or have years of experience, but in the last couple of months of reading and listening to lots of marketing podcasts (namely Marketing Made Easy by Amy Porterfield and Online Marketing School by Neil Patel & Eric Siu) I’ve learned that:
Let’s be spontaneous. At the moment of writing the time is 4.30 pm and I don’t have plans for this evening. All I know is that I want to hang out with other WP makers (plugins/theme developers) and business owners and grab a 🍻 together. Or a 🍷, we’re in Paris after all.
3, 2, 1 … and today I’m flying out to the WordCamp Europe! This year it’s happening in the Paris, France and I’m so excited to finally meet some old friends again and make new friendships as well.
My unique t-shirts are starting to be my hook, so I’ll see me wearing the “I’m Primož 🔈 pree-mosh …” labels again.
You don't have to love your work, love what you DO!

It’s exactly a week since I’ve flown in the sunny and summerish Phoenix, AZ. The reason? The PressNomics conf, to meet new people and make new connections. Did the conference meet the expectations? Not only that. It exceeded them all the way!

I heard lots of hype and news about Google releasing and open sourcing Guetzli this week.
Heck, even I’m hyped and excited.
So I made a very quick test on 1 image with TinyPNG, ImageOptim and of course Guetzli.
Yeah, I know, the sample was too small. But still, here are the results:

Would you be interested in more in-depth research with more image and some stats? Retweet the above. If it gets 10 retweets, I’m doing it.
I'm trying out #guetzli on my day to day work. This shocked me now – generated larger jpg than the input png?? (and took 3min or so) pic.twitter.com/EqXdLCK3FA
