They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. [Learn more](https://central.wordcamp.org/about/). US last December we introduced Tide.  Tide was our reaction to what we, and many other in the WordPress community, believe is critical to the future of the Open Web.  A future where the standard of code in WordPress is high and its users can be confident in its performance, security, reliability, and accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Accessibility).  Tide is a very practical solution to achieving this, ultimately improving the quality of code across the web.  The WordCamp US announcement represented the proof of concept stage for Tide and helped highlight ways in which updating WordPress plugins and themes based on WordPress Coding StandardsWordPress Coding Standards The Accessibility, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, etc. coding standards as published in the WordPress [Coding Standards Handbook](https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/). May also refer to [The collection of PHP_CodeSniffer rules](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/)( sniffs) used to format and validate PHP code developed for WordPress according to the PHP coding standards. could make the open web more performant, secure, reliable, and accessible.  Since then, we’ve been spending time [reviewing feedback from WCUS](https://github.com/wptide/tide-issues), [meeting weekly with the community](https://make.wordpress.org/tide/tag/summary/), and enhancing Tide based on what we’ve learned. Tide’s vision is inspired by the proverb “_A rising tide lifts all boats_”, when we lower the barrier of entry to writing and choosing quality code for enough people, it will lift the quality of code across the whole WordPress ecosystem.  Tide helps to make it easier to improve the quality of code throughout the WordPress ecosystem and help WordPress site owners make better choices about plugins and themes. **As of today, we’re excited to announce Tide 1.0.0-betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process., now available on [GitHub](https://github.com/wptide/wptide) and at **[**wptide.org**](https://www.wptide.org/).  This version adds Google Cloud Platform (“[GCP](https://cloud.google.com/)”) and local-only infrastructure support, integrates Lighthouse performance analysis, and provides documentation for the entire platform to help onboard contributors and developers looking to improve their own code.  Please update any forked repositories or local instances of the previous version of Tide as it will be deprecated later this month. ![](https://make.wordpress.org/tide/files/2018/06/tide-v1.0.0-beta@3x-1024x564.jpg) ## **GCP migrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another. Most typically done when changing hosting companies.** The prototype version of Tide from WordCamp US was based on Amazon Web Services (“ [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/)”), but with the release of Tide 1.0.0-beta we’ve migrated to GCP and have rewritten the Tide services in the [Go](https://golang.org/) programming language.  This helps to provide a better integration point with WordPress. orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. [https://wordpress.org/](https://wordpress.org/) as the GCP environment and Go services are more performant and cost effective.  This is the first step towards WordPress. org integration. You can find the code for Tide on GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner. [https://github.com/](https://github.com/) at [https://github.com/wptide/wptide](https://github.com/wptide/wptide). ![](https://cldup.com/JP4bPQ0BAj.gif) ## **Local-only option** In order to minimize the needs for developers or contributors to setup GCP or AWS infrastructure to use Tide, we’re providing a local-only option.  This way you can run all the Tide services locally on your computer and not need to rely upon or pay for anything additional.  Note that for now we’ve only fully tested on MacOS, so non-MacOS setup and usage will vary a bit until we can test across non-MacOS platforms and provide resolutions to any issues there.  In order to run Tide locally, you’ll need [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/), [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install), and [Glide](https://glide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#installing-glide); additionally for Windows you’ll need [Make](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm) installed based on our testing so far.  Full setup instructions are available in the Tide documentation (see below). ## **Lighthouse integration** Along with the [WordPress Coding Standards](https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards) and [PHP Compatibility](https://github.com/wimg/PHPCompatibility) results for plugins and themes in the Tide APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways., we’ve also added support for [Google’s Lighthouse](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/) auditing to include performance, accessibility, and other results for themes in the Tide API. ![](https://make.wordpress.org/tide/files/2018/06/tide-lighthouse-integration.png) ## **Documentation** The prototype version of Tide from WordCamp US was built as a proof-of-concept and had limited documentation; what did exist then was mainly within the README file for setup instructions on AWS.  For 1.0.0-beta, we’ve significantly extended the documentation to include installation instructions for GCP and the local-only option, details on the various Tide services (API, Sync Server, PHPCSPHP Code Sniffer [PHP Code Sniffer,](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer) a popular tool for analyzing code quality.

Server, Lighthouse Server), working examples of the Tide API, as well as how to contribute to better utilize and improve Tide. The documentation site is available at [https://www.wptide.org](https://www.wptide.org)( including a searchable demo of the Tide API search).  The source for the documentation is available at [https://github.com/wptide/docs](https://github.com/wptide/docs). ![](https://make.wordpress.org/tide/files/2018/06/tide-documentation.png) ## **Roadmap** The next step on the [Tide roadmap](https://github.com/wptide/wptide/wiki/Roadmap) is working with the WordPress.org systems team to integrate the PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.

These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/) or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. and theme pages.  You can follow along via the roadmap we’re establishing at [https://github.com/wptide/wptide/wiki/Roadmap](https://github.com/wptide/wptide/wiki/Roadmap). Note that we’re using[ ZenHub](https://www.zenhub.com/) to manage Tide’s product development process and that you may need to install the[ ZenHub Browser Extension](https://www.zenhub.com/extension) to see all the details within the Tide roadmap. This plan represents what will take Tide from concept to practical application for the WordPress community.  If you have feedback for the WordPress.org integration, then please comment in [GitHub](https://github.com/wptide/wptide#boards?releases=5b0321391a00905b6c50f25e&repos=107737502) or [ZenHub](https://app.zenhub.com/workspace/o/wptide/wptide/boards?releases=5b0321391a00905b6c50f25e&repos=107737502).
