Studio: The fastest way to build WordPress sites locally

This week we launched Studio, a local development app that makes it super easy to spin up WordPress websites locally. Under the hood Studio is using WordPress Playground to run sites without the need to install a bunch of other dependencies (no Docker!). The app is free to use and open source.

Studio was one of my first big projects since joining the WordPress.com team at Automattic. It’s part of a renewed focus on building great developer tools that make WordPress.com the best place to host your WordPress sites.

The team moved really quickly on this one. This initial release is the result of just a few months of work by a small team. We have a lot of ideas for where to take Studio next, but want to hear your feedback! What would you like to see in Studio?
