WordCamp Europe 2024 (WCEU), held in Europe, saw a significant turnout with over 2,500 attendees. Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress, delivered an inspiring keynote, emphasizing the platform's growth and future potential. Mullenweg highlighted that WordPress now powers 43.3% of the web and introduced 'Playground,' a new feature promising to revolutionize the platform. His speech resonated with many attendees, who appreciated his vision of creating not just websites but communities. Mullenweg also went into 'Oprah mode' by offering help to meetups needing a site, responding to Matteo Spi0's call. The event was marked by optimism and a sense of ambition within the WordPress community, with projects like Scanfullyapp reflecting this spirit.
