Its cool and I get it, but how is this useful other than good marketing? If an app's code is run on a device, any rooted device could just modify its memory and do whatever it wants. Just ask a game developer about the infinite anti-cheating war that they deal with.
Could you expand? I don't follow. WordPress is open source, you can already download it and do whatever you want.

> ...any rooted device could just modify its memory and do whatever it wants Like what? Change a heading? Or, create a blog post that only exists on this device?

Wordpress is one of those things I've plenty of experience with, but leave off my résumé and avoid mentioning to bosses and colleagues, so I won't get roped into that bullshit if it comes up—and it often does , sooner or later. "Wordpress? I can take a look if you need me to, but I don't really know much about that. I think Fred said something about Wordpress the other day, maybe ask him...." I've known others who co…
I have thought about making a plugin. The plugin documentation/architecture is a bit gnarly (at least from what I remember). That being said, I feel like most WordPress plugins are awful. I've sometimes wondered if I could make a better version of X plugin, but I fear I'm missing something - like providing customer support or covering every version of WP.
Building themes was easy, and so was the plugging ecosystem.
I installed the latest version ~6 months ago, and I found myself overly confused by the million of options, the poor functionality of the block system, and the overall bloating of the software. It just run slower than 10 years ago. The templates and plugin available out there are extremely complex and a lot harder to read, code wise.
I assume is a 'dead by 1000 papercuts, or customer demands, in this case' but from a product standpoint, I'd really love to know who are the personas that this new interpretation of wordpress cater to.
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
Or are you talking about, developing it on the browser, export it and upload it somewhere as static files for internet access (eg a cheap host with no server side languages)?

I've always found WordPress performance doesn't change much on lower vs higher end hardware. It seems to be limited by itself.
What's the answer to making WordPress sites faster? I too have tried better hardware, CDNs, plugins like WP Super Cache, and others means of optimizing. Very little impact. Is the problem PHP? I'm thinking of trying one of those plugins that convert the WordPress site to static web site. I'd imagine that'd have a big impact, at least for sites that don't need e.g. login, shopping carts, etc.
But, serving static pages is very very fast afterwards.

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.

No need to dunk on wordpress but it has a lot of history and issues. It would be great to have a modern alternative self-hosted solution that doesn't require static site generation or complex hosting.
Ok. Here it is: https://github.com/Qbix/Platform

Absolutely. The other day, I took my slow Wordpress server hosted at Vultr on bare metal (£200/pm) and put it on a server at £500 per month and even after doing all the performance tuning I could with MySQL and PHP I couldn’t notice a difference in speed when I was on the back-end where Cloudflare wasn’t caching it. I then tested on a lower performance server which costs £80 per month at Vultr and again couldn’t dete…
Just come to WP.com and we'll run it super-fast, auto-updated, and secure for $25/mo.
