Isn't it kinda bad taste to call your thing a "spiritual successor" to something that is very much alive?

I'd usually expect this to be used about something like Google Reader, not something you are actively competing with.

I can't help but sense a level of arrogance when they launch their product by writing an obituary for a competitor. Is this what people feel when they make fun of the "(product here) killer"?

So it’s a WordPress successor that doesn’t support any WordPress plugins (since they’re written in PHP and this is written in TypeScript) and has baked-in support for blockchain payments. and also it’s “AI Native”, because the internet definitely needs more AI slop blogs.

This IS an April Fools joke, whether or not they intended it to be one.

Security by reducing attack surface is underrated as a design philosophy. We took a similar approach for a PDF tool — moved processing client-side entirely so there's no server to compromise in the first place.

This reminds me of Linus Torvalds about Git, criticizing that SVN did present itself as "CVS done right" for... "It's impossible to get CVS right". Which I found incredibly funny and witty.

Is the second coming of Wordpress what we really need?

"..aims to be compatible with WordPress functionality"

What does it mean, to be "compatible with functionality"?

At a first glance this statement promises a lot, but does it really mean anything technically?

Played with this for 30 minutes. looks promising, and of course its rough around the edges. im sure you're working on it, but could not figure out how to add section to page.

If I could smash a button and get a 1:1 copy of my existing site, I’d do it in a heartbeat. I don’t see that happening just yet due to the integrated forum software and its own plugins.

With Cloudflare behind it, hopefully plugin vendors will start paying attention.

Do you think the Wordpress guy is going to have more public meltdowns on this post?

I've been wanting a CMS on top of Cloudflare workers for a while, so I hope this pays off!
