About Pressable
Ten days of bulk operations, then the AI assistant got the keys to multi-site access control.
Pressable is shipping into MyPressable at a pace of roughly one feature every two days, and the run is unusually coherent: bulk plugin install and activation, bulk theme install and delete, bulk site deletion with multi-layer confirmation gates, DDEV setup managed from the panel, and two separate additions to the AI assistant's collaborator management capabilities. Note that the feed publishes title-only excerpts with no body text, so the titles are the entire record.
