Hello friends! My name is Michael and I'm one of the creators of PageFrog (https://wordpress.org/plugins/pa...). Big thanks to Eric for hunting us today! As you may have heard, Google is officially rolling out Accelerated Mobile Pages (https://www.ampproject.org) today. AMP pages are designed to load instantly on mobile devices and expected to have a significant impact on SEO (specifically through a huge advantage on the load speed metric). Google provides documentation for building your own AMP pages with code, but it can be difficult if you're not a developer. We built PageFrog, a free open source project, as an easy way for content creators to publish and manage content for Google AMP Pages (and Facebook Instant Articles!) Here are some of the things you can expect from PageFrog: * One-click process to enable AMP for all your articles and pages * Live mobile previews so you can see your content in AMP format as you write * AdSense (and other ad platforms) support to serve ad units in your AMP pages * Google Analytics (and other analytics platforms) integration for tracking activities on your AMP pages * Bundled with Facebook Instant Articles support with Apple News and Snapchat Discover coming soon * Full support for WordPress with support for more publishing platforms coming soon Let me know if you guys have any questions or feedback!

@michaelhsc This looks awesome! As a publisher myself, I'll be trying this out! Also, I'm the founder/CEO of KYA, an analytics company for digital publishers I'd love to chat more with you about ways we can integrate our platform with your project to make it easier for publishers to track with KYA while using AMP. Is there a way we can chat more about this? :)

Link Texting

@michaelhsc Curious. I'm thinking @blaurenceclark and I might be able to use this for our blog. http://hdphealth.com/blog Do you have a link to more information about the AMP thing you refer to? Good moving and looks like you'll get a lot of users quickly with this.

@shortformernie Ghost is definitely on our list! We went with WordPress since it has the largest market share, but we're definitely working on support for other content management platforms.

@samir_doshi It really can be a huge headache without the right tools. We're doing our best to make it quick and easy for everyone to hop onto these formats! I really do believe mobile content is the future and this is just the beginning.

"On April 12th at Facebook's F8 conference, we will open up the Instant Articles program to all publishers—of any size, anywhere in the world. We invite you to register your interest below." - https://instantarticles.fb.com/ This plugin will become vital in 6 weeks :) Great job guys.

So now that the FB Instant Articles are out, I can say that this plugin doesn't work correctly for neither AMP or FBIA. No updates, no support on the wp.org repo, no replies to email,... Stick to the official plugins.
