I'm working with a consortium of journalists. They built a news website six months ago based on WordPress and numerous plugins (including a paid theme, GetPaid, and Stripe to process subscriptions).

The website currently receives about 10,000 visits per day with 1,000 subscribers. Their objective is to increase both visits and subscribers 10X. Content syndication and SEO are key to the project's success. They are encountering many limitations and various errors that their tech guy cannot resolve (including performance issues, downtime, SEO tags, and payment problems).

Which platform would you suggest for publishing and running a news media outlet in 2025?

(I have some ideas but I don't want to influence the discussion.)

As a father of a 13-year-old kid, I tried to do my best to initiate him to different aspects of life. It could be watching a documentary about black holes, building coffee table or just enjoying a simple walk in nature.

I asked to some friends if they have great project idea that could be done by an 8th grade kid with or without support. I personally like to do it with him as it is a privileged time to build something together (for me) and learn new skills (for him).

The purpose of this thread is to assemble some ideas for Christmas presents.

I’m starting…

1. DIY LED Christmas tree kit for soldering (https://www.az-delivery.de/en/products/diy-weihnachtsbaum-kit-alles-inklusive-versandkostenfrei)

2. Software Defined Radios kit (https://www.rtl-sdr.com/about-rtl-sdr/ and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CD7558GT)

3. DIY Internet Radio Alarm clock with touch screen control (https://www.az-delivery.de/en/products/radiowecker-mit-dem-az-touch)

Any other ideas or suggestions?
