RIP static site generators. Just run this in your browser and export a static site. No more complicated setups. No more running ruby in docker or fighting hugo templates. Install the themes and plugins and go nuts! /hottake
Tools for that purpose already existed, e.g. WP2Static.
Genuinely curious: does this mean you can run WordPress as a cloudflare worker (ignoring database for now)? https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/webas...

There’s likely more work that could be done to make this viable, though (or Cloudflare could raise limits).

The team behind this tried to deploy to Cloudflare but hit memory constraints with Workers due to the 128MB limit there: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/issues/69 There’s likely more work that could be done to make this viable, though (or Cloudflare could raise limits).
It does need careful curating of plugins that one uses, set up suitable cloudflare frontends and preventing users from doing something seemingly simple but dangerous.
I get the feeling that a good chunk of the hate comes from people who tried it many years ago; or had needs which don't get met by WP; or received it as a legacy.
I tried to make a big deal about this in my State of the Word keynote in December 2022: https://wordpress.tv/2023/01/04/matt-mullenweg-state-of-the-... It kind of blew my mind as an engineer to see it work, and know all the layers that had to interact for that to happen. It's fun to see it blowing up on HN 6 months later! :) Thank you to everyone for checking it out.
Can we just throw wordpress in the trash instead already? It sucks at everything. It's not a good CMS, its plugins are awful, PHP is a dumpster fire, every web developer hates it, etc. This is also pointless as a tech demo.
That must explain why WordPress' market share has been trending downwards for the last 20 years, right?

So what's the min limit required to make it run?

I know. Still curious about the 2-letter .com though
Domains are my vice. Also have w.org. Ma.tt. I would rather have a cool IP address (like Cloudflare's) or domain than a fancy car or boat.
"Whether you want to build a note-taking application for mobile devices, an automated testing environment, or demo a live WooCommerce store on your site – Playground will support you." The last two make a ton of sense, but the idea of building a mobile app that's powered by Wordpress running PHP in webassembly in the browser is wrecking my brain.
I use WP all the time for a variety of nearly static sites that I can let someone else non-technical continue to add content. It works great for this purpose. There is nothing close to WP for this purpose. It does need careful curating of plugins that one uses, set up suitable cloudflare frontends and preventing users from doing something seemingly simple but dangerous.

Still not really WP's fault, but it doesn't change the fact that I recoil a bit in horror when it's mentioned.
