Open source · Free forever · No paywall
Premium software, priced at zero.
I'm the builder behind NoobBase. No name, no headshot, no personal brand — the work speaks. I ship plugins and platforms that match the paid competition feature for feature, then give them away under an open licence.

Who I am
No name on the door. Just the builds.
I keep NoobBase anonymous on purpose. You don't need to know who I am to read my source, run it, fork it, or trust it — that's the whole point of open source. Judge the commits, not the CV.
What I will tell you: I'm a solo developer who has spent years building complete production systems — Next.js frontends, Node microservices, message queues, live streaming, billing, caching. Not demos. Things with real users on them.
And I'm an open-source evangelist in the literal sense: I believe good software should be readable, forkable and free to use, and I keep proving it by releasing work that other companies would happily charge a yearly licence for.
What NoobBase promises
No trial timer, no feature held hostage, no "contact us for pricing". If I ship it, you can use it.
Full code on GitHub. No obfuscation, no phone-home. Read every line before you install it.
The benchmark is the best paid product in the category — never the weakest free one.
What I've built
Five live products. More on the way.
Each one is a full platform rather than a side project — production frontends backed by real service architecture.

…and many more to come
NoobBase is a workshop, not a portfolio. New plugins and platforms land here as they are finished — and the request form below genuinely feeds the queue.
The approach
Premium-grade. Not a "free version".
Most free plugins are lead magnets — deliberately hobbled so you upgrade. I build the opposite: the full local product, then release it. Optional Cloud is hosted AI and audits — never a lock on the toolkit you already installed.
WordPress · CacheRocket
The CacheRocket WordPress plugin
The whole local performance suite ships unlocked the moment you activate it: full page caching with early advanced-cache delivery, critical image and LCP optimization, delayed JavaScript, CSS and JS minification, self-hosted fonts, LazyLoad, WebP and mobile cache variants, WooCommerce-aware caching, custom CDN rewriting, browser cache and GZIP rules, database cleanup, and remote cache warmers straight from wp-admin.
That is the feature list of a plugin people pay a yearly licence for. Here it is free, GPL, and on GitHub.
WordPress · Seofyme
Seofyme SEO for WordPress
Titles, sitemaps, schema, redirects, internal linking, Local/Video/News modules, WooCommerce SEO, and editor scores ship free in the plugin. Optional Seofyme Cloud adds hosted title & meta drafting and site audits — Cloud Starter €9, Cloud Pro €19, Cloud Agency €49 /mo via CacheRocket. Or bring your own AI keys locally.
Local SEO stays free forever. Cloud is optional when you want hosted AI quotas.
Shopify · Seofyme
Seofyme for Shopify
Embedded admin SEO for products, collections, pages, and articles — on-page SEO, schema overrides, redirects, IndexNow, audits, and linking workouts. Free on-page in the app; optional Cloud via Shopify Billing — Cloud Starter $15, Cloud Pro $25, Cloud Agency $55 /mo.
Install from the Shopify App Store. Cloud plans bill inside Shopify Admin.
How I hold myself to it
Benchmark against the best paid tool in the category, never the weakest free one.
No feature gates on the local toolkit — optional Cloud is hosted drafting and audits, not a locked free product.
Source public under GPL or MIT — fork it, audit it, ship it inside your own stack.
Shipped in 16 languages, because free should not mean English-only.
Maintained release after release, tested against current platform versions.
If a paid competitor can do it, the free version should too. That is the entire NoobBase thesis.
Support the work
Free still costs something to make.
Every plugin here is free and stays free. Donations keep the servers running and the next build moving — they are never a condition of using anything.
Nothing is ever gated behind a donation.
Covers hosting, bandwidth, and the hours that keep releases coming.
One-off, any amount, handled end to end by Stripe.
One-off payment, processed securely by Stripe.
Stripe handles the payment. NoobBase never sees or stores your card details.
