Theme Juice – A desktop app for local WordPress development

Hacker News

This whole product really is a labor of love to the WordPress community from myself. I've always wanted to somehow be a part of pushing the WordPress community towards using modern build tools, package management, version control and of course, proper deployments. What started as a tiny command line script that automated my own personal local dev workflow and has since grown into a rather robust WordPress development toolkit, handling everything from configuring a dev environment, wrangling build tools, all the way to painless SSH deployments. Though it hasn't gained much traction, I believe this project has the chops to become a powerful stable in any WP developer's tool belt. The desktop application is built on top of our open source command line utility, tj, as well as our open source Graft virtual machine (loosely based off of VVV). Together, these tools allow you to easily create, manage and deploy local WordPress development sites, regardless of your comfort with the command line. The Theme Juice desktop app aims to simplify the convoluted and rather unenjoyable process of developing WordPress projects locally by wrapping everything up into a beautiful soon-to-be-cross-platform desktop app (MacOS only for our initial v1.0 release). I'd love to hear any feedback you have. Link: https://www.themejuice.it
