| 20 million lines of code. Thank you. |
|
Today, at 00:41 UTC, the counter on respira.press/live passed 20 million lines of code, updated on WordPress sites through Respira. That number is yours more than mine.
|
|
|
For scale: WordPress itself is about 1.1 million lines of code, WooCommerce about 1.9 million, and the Linux kernel about 40 million. Those are sizes of finished software, and 20 million is the code that has moved through Respira, so it is not the same measure. It does show how much work you now hand to an AI.
|
|
Respira started with one task at my day job: updating a section of a WordPress site built in Divi, with new pages and more than 40 PDFs to upload and link, on a tight deadline and with no room for a mistake. By hand it would have taken days, so I built a way for Claude to do it safely. Then I wondered whether anyone else would use it, and the only way to find out was to release it before it felt ready.
|
|
It was not ready. You told me what broke, I fixed it, and you told me the next thing. Most of what Respira does today started as one of your replies, and two of you put it better than I can:
|
“Respira is the first tool that’s let me safely hand real build work to an AI agent … with actual safety rails instead of blind trust.”
Luis, a solo developer who rebuilds Divi sites for clients
|
|
“The fact that you built this as a solo developer, listened to early feedback, and kept shipping updates is genuinely impressive.”
Sam, who runs a chiropractic clinic in Adelaide

A short video about what Respira does now. Two and a half minutes, with the new security scan in it: every scan checks WordPress and every plugin on your site against more than 40,000 known vulnerabilities. The trailer says 19 million lines. I finished it on Monday, and by Wednesday it was out of date.

Watch the trailer (2 and a half minutes)

If Respira has earned it, two small favours
|
1. Share the trailer. Send it to one person who looks after a WordPress site, or post it where you are active. It is the shortest answer I have to “what does Respira do?”
2. Say where it was built. If you built a site with Respira and are proud of it, a small “Built with Respira” credit in the footer helps more than you would think. Your dashboard has the badge ready to copy, or your AI agent can add it for you. If you are a partner, it carries your own link.

This site breathes with Respira
A few looks to choose from, and you can write your own line.

Your partner link pays part of your plan back. Every plan bought through your link earns you a share for as long as that customer stays: 10% to start, 15% after your first paying customer, 30% after ten, 50% after a hundred.
Apply from your dashboard, and I review each application by hand, usually within 48 hours. Your link looks like respira.press/a/your-name.
One honest note: commission is recorded from your first sale and shows in your partner dashboard, but payouts are not switched on yet. What you earn until then is kept and paid when they open.

A person on the other end
I use AI to help me write and check these emails, the same way you use it on your WordPress sites. When you reply, it is me who reads it and me who answers. Tell me what is not working, or what you wish Respira did.
