Whoa, that seems amazing. It is great that someone is trying to reduce the pain of dealing with Wordpress. At the other side, I secretly wished that Wordpress was a little worse so programmers would stop using it.

This is really interesting. When I work on Wordpress stuff I switch from emacs to PhpStorm because I like the autocomplete, features, auto formatting etc. This would be a really nice replacement for that. However the Wordpress project I work on has to have access to node to run gulp to compile coffeescript and sass. How would that work in this scenario? I also keep the dev/staging sites in sync with production using wp-cli import/export -- could I run commands remotely? I suspect not, but am curious.

  You can have ssh access, that's not yet implemented but it's on the list. All the instances run in their own private containers so you can install other apps if you want.

    That's great. I look forward to getting access!

  Funny thing, WPide has the emacs key binding as default.

Very interesting, I'm looking forward to seeing a live demo or video. Code completion for the Wordpress Api would be a real time saver.

  As of version 8 PhpStorm offers that, along with a bunch of other nice stuff for WP development. More details here: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/WordPress+Development+using+PhpStorm https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/WordPress+...

  Code completion is already integrated, plus documentation for all the WP functions in the IDE. You can search the codex straight from the IDE or see all the details of a WordPress function by clicking on it in the code.

Could this be used to collaborate on WordPress Core? I'm interested in start doing that but the setup process (installing VVV, Vagrant, VirtualBox, etc.) is a little cumbersome.

  I am wondering other items like integration to Github or how to deployment to a wordpress site etc. I can't see these items on their landing page. Any ideas?
  - ovidiumght 11y ago
    Right now you can export or download site+database. We have git integration and deployment via FTP/SFTP on the list.
- ovidiumght 11y ago
  Yes, it could be used, we are working on git integration so you can push to git from the IDE. WPide takes care of launching instances, each one starts in it's own VM with everything it needs installed.

Does this plays nice with a modern wordpress stack like bedrock or any 12factor wp? https://github.com/roots/bedrock https://github.com/roots/bedrock
- ovidiumght 11y ago
  It's not yet integrated with roots, it will have ssh access to the machine so you can install other applications but we will look more into this. Thank you.

This looks interesting, and it may be something I'll use in the future. Something which I find a little annoying with WordPress development is making admin UIs, to me it always seem repetitive, copy+paste work etc. Would your IDE help with that?

since the program isn't available yet, perhaps a video teaser would be nice. many times in lieu of a demo I'll just watch the video to see if an app has what I am looking for. either way, this is definitely something I could / might use and I signed up.
