About

Credited in 15 of the last 18 WordPress releases. Founder of WPFolks.

Hi, I'm Ankit Panchal, a WordPress engineer and indie founder based in Pune, India, with 13+ years in the WordPress ecosystem.

Code in WordPress core. Plugins on 20,000+ sites, including Hide Admin Bar, UltimaKit and PushRow for Google Sheets. A free community for WordPress people. A camera on every build.

I started with a browser and WordPress 3.x. Everything since has been built one plugin, one patch and one community at a time, with 29+ WordCamps along the way across India and Asia.

I share the whole journey on YouTube at @AnkitMakes: product decisions, code walkthroughs, real numbers and building in public.

One goal: help more people ship on WordPress.

Plugin Analytics is live. Every plugin listed on WPFolks now has an Analytics section: highlights, four health checks, installs, downloads, a weekly downloads chart and where it ranks. Open any plugin and tap Analytics. The new Plugin Rankings page ranks more than 6,200 WordPress plugins every day. Tick "Only plugins by folks" to see how the community stacks up: https://wpfolks.org/plugin-rankings/ Have plugins on WordPress.org that are not on your profile yet? Add your WordPress.org username in Settings and they show up here with analytics: https://wpfolks.org/settings/

NoteFlow 2.0 is on WordPress.org: a notes app inside the WordPress admin, rebuilt from the ground up by @wpankit.
What's in it:
• Folders, tags, pins, checklists, dark mode, keyboard shortcuts
• Discussions on posts and pages in the editor: comment on a block, raise and assign issues, @mention, resolve
• Share notes as viewer or editor, live co-editing with safe merges, version history
• Reminders, a notification bell, templates, import and export
• Private by default, no outside requests, free

Try it: wordpress.org/plugins/noteflow

Using it with a team? Post your setup with #noteflow.
