COPE with WordPress

Leonardo Losoviz

COPE (Create Once, Publish Everywhere) is a technique which allows to publish content across different platforms from a single source of truth, enabling to feed content to dissimilar platforms such as web, emails, or an iOS or Android app, while minimizing the amount of duplicated information and reducing maintenance to the minimum possible.

Leonardo Losoviz is an independent open source developer, creator of a framework for building modular websites called [PoP]. The only non-musician in his family, this doesn’t bother him, because coding is also making art. He lives in a loop: he dreams of code and, when he wakes up, he codes his dreams. He is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
