WordPress 7.0 is moving in the right direction. On behalf of the Tutor LMS & @Kirki team, I’d like to wish continued success to WordPress and its future. Long live open source.
Big release! I pushed it across my sites and everything held up quite well, no issues. The high contrast pass is a real win for accessibility, I love it. The AI is the most interesting part. IMO, it is less about what shipped today and more about what plugin developers, hosts, and agencies will build on top of it. Congrats to the core team and everyone involved in the release - developers, testers, leads, docs, polyglots... I will miss someone but not intentional!

Who hunted WordPress 7.0?
WordPress 7.0 was hunted by Ankit Sharma. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
