What is Dorik?

Dorik's feed has slowed to template drops and small editor fixes since April's plan change.

The two entries since April are six new templates in June and a container-resizing fix in August. The last substantive update remains April's new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Pro and Agency tiers, plus a Table element and tooltips. Older feed entries still repeat each release several times.

What is Breakdance?

Breakdance 3.0 is out: Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can now build Breakdance sites.

Breakdance is a WordPress site builder. Version 3.0 left beta on October 26 with MCP support, so any MCP client such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can build and manage Breakdance sites, and RC 2 added a setup wizard that connects an agent in a few clicks. 3.0.1 followed two days later with a WooCommerce PayPal Payments fix. The betas through September iterated on the MCP server and folded in the 2.8.2 security fix for the Design Library import flow.

Dorik vs Breakdance: editorial side-by-side

0.0

Dorik's feed has slowed to template drops and small editor fixes since April's plan change.

◆ Current state

The two entries since April are six new templates in June and a container-resizing fix in August. The last substantive update remains April's new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Pro and Agency tiers, plus a Table element and tooltips. Older feed entries still repeat each release several times.

◆ Where it's heading

Since the plan restructuring, the visible work has been maintenance. The agency-facing features suggested by the new tier have not appeared in the feed, and the cadence has dropped to about one short note every two months.

◆ Prediction

Expect more template batches and small editor fixes. No agency capabilities are visible yet, so whether they arrive is unclear.

B6.3

Breakdance 3.0 is out: Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can now build Breakdance sites.

◆ Current state

Breakdance is a WordPress site builder. Version 3.0 left beta on October 26 with MCP support, so any MCP client such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can build and manage Breakdance sites, and RC 2 added a setup wizard that connects an agent in a few clicks. 3.0.1 followed two days later with a WooCommerce PayPal Payments fix. The betas through September iterated on the MCP server and folded in the 2.8.2 security fix for the Design Library import flow.

◆ Where it's heading

The vendor shipped the same agent control in Oxygen 6.2 the same day, so both builders now treat AI agents as a primary way to make sites. Next steps are likely patching the MCP server as real sites use it.

◆ Prediction

Expect 3.0.x patch releases fixing MCP server and WooCommerce issues; what follows agent control is unclear from the entries.
