23 years!

That's how long DNN has been a part of my life. Shaun released DotNetNuke in 2002 and I started playing with it in 2003. I had no idea that DNN would still be here over two decades later or that a funny little module called XMod would still be helping people solve their problems.

As we step into 2026, I find myself thinking less about features and release dates and more about the people who made this journey possible.

To the customers who have been with us for 10, 15, even 20+ years--thank you. You renewed when you didn't have to. You asked tough questions that made the product better. You built things I never imagined and shared them with the community. You stuck around and for that I'm eternally grateful.

To those of you who are newer to XMod Pro. Thank you for taking a chance on us. The DNN ecosystem has no shortage of options and you chose to invest your time, learning our way of doing things.

To everyone who's ever submitted a bug report, requested a feature, or just sent a quick note saying something worked well: Thank you. That feedback is my oxygen. It's how I know what matters.

Version 5 is coming. It's the biggest thing we've ever built and I can't wait to put it in your hands. But today isn't about v.5. Today is just about saying thanks!

Here's to 2026 and another year of building things together.

What are you looking forward to building this year?

Cheers,
Kelly
