Why would I want to publish my writing online when it can just be copied by an AI?

Wouldn't a spiritual successor use the same kind of license? (GPL)

It is written in typescript not php - so not a successor of WordPress. Typescript is a complete other Story. With compile step and build Pipeline. All not necessary in php

I have long wanted a static blog with a backend content manager that runs serverless. Love seeing this, but we will see if Cloudflare maintains it in the long run.

What if I want to run EmDash on my own infrastructure? Is there a way to run EmDash plugins outside cloudflare's Dynamic Workers ?

i have been a admirer of wordpress plugin system and had been shouting for modern alternative with explicit capability model for sometime. I also have been building own composable app platform (not cms) and this looks kinda great actually.

This is really buggy and janky… try it in mobile, the navigation doesn’t even work. UX elements move around the place when you hover or click them.

Sounds great. How can developers publish their plugins on EmDash plugin marketplace? Where we can see guidelines for that?

The plugin security model in WordPress has been the elephant in the room for years. Any plugin can execute arbitrary PHP — there's no sandboxing, no permission system, nothing. It's wild that we accepted this for so long.

The Cloudflare Workers approach (V8 isolates) is fundamentally better because it enforces boundaries at the runtime level rather than relying on developer goodwill. Curious to see how they handle the migration path for existing WP sites though — that's where projects like this usually die.
