Thank you very much Karen, I really appreciate your honest feedback. I have started discussions with my team to design a better experience for your use cases.
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback. I genuinely appreciate it.
I’m particularly curious about the first point: what is it about OpenStation that makes you hate it? I’m asking because I’d really like to understand what feels wrong or frustrating from your perspective, not to challenge your opinion.
If there are specific things we can improve, I’d be very happy to work on them. My goal is to make OpenStation useful for different kinds of WordPress users, including people who currently don’t enjoy using it, so feedback like this is extremely valuable.
The other points are also very useful. The scrolling issue definitely sounds frustrating, and I’ll look into it. Same with the default border, and supporting multiple notification recipients.
If you’re willing to share a bit more about what you dislike about OpenStation itself, I’d really appreciate it. I’d love to see if we can eventually make OpenStation something that works for you too.
sorry to hear that you are having problems. But I’m happy to say that we stoped adding new features to full focus on polishing OpenStation.
You can expect a new version fixing this in the next 24 hours.
Thank you very much!
Hey! Thank you! I built this trying to avoid server calls, and do all in the client side to make all super fast.
I personally liked this plugin as it even served myself, where I usually tend to do a search on Google and type “free image online editor” when I have to do silly updates, and I don’t like any of the results. So I solved a problem of mine, expecting to solve other’s problems too.
We have also a “reinterpretation” of the media library in the works, and of course, taking full advantge of OpenStation. The reviews in the WordPress repository are quite slow 😭, its in my queue, exactly in the 3th position, so I believe it might be out in around 2 monts.
Thank you for using OpenStation! We will keep improving the look and feel, and the user experience 🙂
The part worth reporting is the rename. Moving from Desktop Mode to OpenStation renamed the whole public API, and the project shipped no back-compatibility shim. Before updating I checked every hook, function and REST field my code depends on against the tagged release. Nineteen names, all present, none silently renamed or dropped. I have repeated that check on two releases since with the same result. Projects that rename at this scale usually leave behind half-migrated identifiers and a compatibility layer that rots.
Thanks so much for this, and sorry about the rename.
We were still in beta, and we knew that doing a complete rename was the right moment, even if it meant breaking compatibility for the brave people like you who decided to build on the project early.
So, thank you for trusting us and sticking with OpenStation through that transition. It really means a lot.
And I promise, no more renames. OpenStation is the final name. 🙂
Howdy!
We haven’t officially tested Desktop Mode on WordPress Multisite / Network installs yet, so we can’t claim full compatibility. It may work for some scenarios, but there may be issues, especially around Network Admin screens.
We’d love to hear your experience if you try it.
Hi, just leting you know that the fix is here and we will release the new version tomorrow 🙂
Hi,
Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for reporting this.
We’ll have a hotfix out within the next 12 hours to address this issue. We appreciate your patience in the meantime.
Thanks again for taking the time to let us know.
Hello! Thank you for your support request, do you have any errors in the console?
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and for the 5 stars! We love the TiddlyWiki comparison, and it’s great to hear the plugin helps make your personal site feel more like home. Your suggestions around additional Quick Search providers and an optional fallback to the default Ctrl+K behavior are excellent, and we’re planning to address all of them as we continue improving things. Feedback like this genuinely helps shape where we go next 🙂
At Automattic.com, the company behind WordPress.com, Tumblr and other great things out there, the board (Simplifying this a lot) gave the employees a month to develop our own ideas. This project is part of it.

Thank you so much! This idea actually came to me a loooong time ago, so long ago that I had completely forgotten about it. Then Automattic’s RSM (Radical Speed Month) brought it back out of the drawer and gave me the perfect excuse to finally build it 😄
Muchísimas gracias por tu review, de verdad.
Nos alegra muchísimo saber que el plugin te ha parecido tan creativo y que ya lo estás considerando para todas tus instalaciones de WordPress. Comentarios así nos motivan a seguir mejorando y a llevarlo todavía más lejos en cada actualización.
Gracias por el apoyo y por tomarte el tiempo de compartir tu experiencia.
¡Muchísimas gracias por dedicar tiempo a escribir una review como esta! Leer comentarios así significa muchísimo para nosotros. Nos hace especial ilusión ver que la visión detrás de la plugin conecta con personas que, como nosotros, pasan tanto tiempo trabajando dentro del panel de WordPress.
Nos alegra especialmente saber que esa primera impresión no solo se mantuvo, sino que fue reforzándose con el uso. Comentarios como el tuyo nos motivan a seguir mejorando, refinando y empujando cada detalle de la plugin todo lo que podamos. Aún tenemos muchísimas ideas y camino por delante, y mensajes así nos dan todavía más ganas de seguir construyendo.
