About this episode

Dan and Nathan discuss their WordPress plugin, PodcasterPlus Blocks, and the dynamics of their product development journey.

Dan and Nathan jump on the show this week to share with me their pride and joy, PodcasterPlus Blocks . A WordPress plugin that lets podcasters build customisable, automated podcast websites using modular blocks that pull content directly from RSS feeds, enabling design freedom without having to rely on third-party player embeds. Some of the best products are born out of a problem the creators had. Not market research. Not competitor analysis. Just someone annoyed enough to fix what is bugging them! Exactly what Nathan and Dan have done! I loved hearing how they have developed this WordPress plugin together, especially the dynamics of their working relationship. It's always so much fun to get a behind the scenes glance at the development of a product. Full show notes: https://trailblazer.fm/build-what-you-know/
