This is great, but if the plugin ecosystem isn't compatible will it take off?

Most WordPress users use at least one plugin: it is the appeal of the product.

Good one, at last, April fools joke with some effort.

They say it was developed by AI agents but they still claim copyright in the LICENSE file. Doesn't seem right.

This has nothing to do with Wordpress

Thanks, but I'll stick to WordPress.

Doesn't even render properly in not-so-old browsers where WordPress renders fine.

I mean it's cool your created a new CMS and all, but beyond the look of the admin interface and publishing flow, I don't see how this is a "Spirtual Successor" to WordPress at all.

Its a CMS, designed from scratch, for a serverless world. It has a stricter, well defined API that plugins are forced to use instead of directly calling/overriding core functionality like in WP. But that benefit comes with a CMS that's built on top of, and seems to prefer, a ton of CF proprietary capabilities (D1 Databases, R2 for image/media storage, their workers for running things).

The web need less consolidation on CF, not more.

Lately Cloudflare is trying to create alternatives to big ones, like first Vercel & now Wordpress.

Plugin security is one thing. Plugin budget is another thing... much larger of a problem in some cases.
