WP Update Guard
Sea trialAn AI crewmate that watches over WordPress updates, so a plugin bump doesn’t take a public site down.
TODO WP Update Guard has a one-page site (log, 2026-10-01). If people can try it, send the URL and the main button becomes “Try it”.
The problem
A plugin bump can take a public site down.
TODO Who runs into this, how often, and what it costs them when a site goes down.
What we’re trying
An AI crewmate that watches over WordPress updates.
TODO How it works: what it watches, what it does when an update breaks something, and who it’s for.
What we’ve learned
TODO What the sea trial has taught us so far, including what broke.
From the log
Stage changes, launches and the things that broke. We write it all down.
