I need to think a bit about onboarding with Siren. Right now, it kinda just installs the plugin without any context. I don’t want to do a full-blown wizard before launch, but maybe a single “getting started” screen would be useful. Hmm.

Great minds!

One of the most exciting things about Siren’s multi-program approach is that you can create a program that focuses on generating leads, and then another program that focuses on converting those leads. This splits the responsibility, and makes it possible to run an affiliate program for higher-dollar sales items that, prior to this, were difficult to do well with a single affiliate program.

Something I frequently need in Siren is a flowchart to help explain how different affiliate programs work, so I’m putting together a flowchart block. Making good use of the LeaderLine library and core’s group block, as well as an existing card block I already had laying around. Really loving how much less code I’m writing to do simple stuff like flex layouts with full site editing.

I’m still getting used to using a full site theme for WordPress. But WOW today was a win. I’m working on setting up the documentation portal for Siren Affiliates, and literally just created a custom post type, and that was the extend of the code. I’m able to build all of the template layouts for the post type in the FSE context.
This is REALLY cool!
