Hey there,

Karol here, from CodeinWP.

Here's what's been going on in WordPress lately:

Quora is the most popular questions and answers website on the web. The idea behind it is simple - it's a place where people get to ask any question that's on their mind, and other people will be happy to give them answers. Now, here's the kicker; smart marketers have been using Quora as a promotional channel for a good couple of years. Here's what you need to know about marketing on Quora and how to do it effectively.

If you really want to make your website optimized for mobile, then progressive web apps (PWAs) are often your best bet. PWAs look very much like regular mobile apps (iOS and Android) but they're actually generated based on your website's code and content. They can also be used offline (kind of). Here's your beginner's guide to PWAs, and how to create one for your website. [CodeinWP]

Building a product is like climbing a mountain; everything is great until you have to start scaling. If you're in scaling territory then this Reddit discussion will be useful. It has everything you need to know about the infrastructure required and the best hosts to help you reach the peak. Also, there's a healthy debate on the appropriate amount of plugins for a high volume site. [reddit]
