Name it CloudPress

if this can implode the crooked "web hosting industry" that surrounds the lamp / wordpress ecosystem the better.

Here to say -- great name. It's not just a reference to our modern times, it's a sign of brilliance. (I wrote this myself with no clanker support)

The lede everyone is burying: "Every EmDash site has x402 support built in — charge for access to content"

Wordpress is PHP, which has developer base insanely larger then typescript. Also, a lot cheaper. Compete with that.

Why?!

Half the websites on wordpress moved to shopify, squarespace, etc. a very long time ago. The remaining half were blogs, personal pages, wikis, etc. that moved to community/social platforms created in the past decade(s). In a few cases out of all this someone finally learned how to write/host a webpage themselves (imagine that)! It's even easier with AI now.

I'm totally serious when I ask "why". Who actually uses a CMS or anything like that anymore? It's madness!

Thanks for sharing this on GitHub. Nice to see how others are using AI in their projects.

I think wordpress, woo commerce and elementor are in a Mexican standoff. Wordpress cant fork or change in a major way because the other two are so popular no one would use the new variant. woo commercere and elementor can't just walk away and make their own wordpress-less platform because they rely on each other and the other constellation of plugins that run on wordpress.

EmDash on Apr 1 come on guys
