I just watched the latest Wappler Meetup video featuring Brian English’s Kanban project — and even more impressively, his workflow for building the Wappler Bible. I have to say: it’s nothing short of extraordinary.
The way he orchestrates document-transforming extensions to convert HTML to Markdown, DOCX to HTML to XML, RSS, and of course JSON… it’s like watching a digital alchemist at work. Then he layers in AI extensions for automation, and suddenly we’re not just talking about clever tooling — we’re witnessing the mind of a genius at play. A genius, I might add, with a delightfully warped streak that borders on madness (in the best possible way).
Honestly, who else would dream up the idea of creating a Wappler Bible using such a bleeding-edge, modular workflow? Only a true evangelist could pull that off — and Brian’s preaching with code, not words.
If you haven’t seen the video yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. It’s a masterclass in modern workflow design and a testament to what Wappler can empower when paired with vision and creativity.

Foreword by the Ghost of DMXzone Past "In the days of yore, when bindings were manual and extensions mysterious, one brave soul dared to dream of a better way. That soul now walks among us, not as a man, but as a legend. Brian ‘Hyperbytes’ English, bearer of the sacred Node.js scrolls and Docker incantations, now pens his gospel. Read on, ye Wappler disciples, and be enlightened—or at least mildly entertained."
