em-dash by Cloudflare looks interesting in terms of replacing Wordpress. by garnering enough of an ecosystem to cause a migration will be the bigger challenge.

  Am I looking at the right thing? https://github.com/emdash-cms/emdash https://github.com/emdash-cms/emdash > EmDash depends on Dynamic Workers to run secure sandboxed plugins. Dynamic Workers are currently only available on paid accounts. Upgrade your account (starting at $5/mo) or comment out the worker_loaders block of your wrangler.jsonc configuration file to disable plugins. Seems like a pretty poor replacement for WordPress, which will run on pretty much whatever random system happens to be within eyesight.

    It can be deployed to a node.js server with sqlite https://docs.emdashcms.com/deployment/nodejs/ https://docs.emdashcms.com/deployment/nodejs/ Not as simple as wp, but not tied to one hosting provider.

      The sandboxing requires CF workers though, as it depends on V8 isolates. Seems fair enough, but it'd be nice to see easily deployable cross-platform support someday for isolates or something similar, and not just for emdash.

  A CMS that can only run on one hosting provider?

      The whole USP for emdash is sandboxed plugins. Sandboxed plugins only work in Cloudflare.

      But then ... WP is not tied to one hosting provider. There are no shortage of hosting companies out there to which you can deploy WP. In fact, many make it so easy it is ridonc.

  Why is this getting downvoted. Is it because of a general anti-cloudflare sentiment?
