I can't believe as developers we were worried about AI training on licensed code. It turns out it didn't matter at all. You can just point an LLM at some source code and you're off scot-free.
Almost all apps are just CRUD. The code is not that interesting. The valuable IP is the product.

Cloudflare doesn't do April fools jokes. In fact, 1.1.1.1 was released on April 1st back in 2018 and now it's one of the most used DNS service in the world.
8 years later and now I'm getting the 4 1's joke.
> A full-stack TypeScript CMS built on Astro and Cloudflare. EmDash takes the ideas that made WordPress dominant -- extensibility, admin UX, a plugin ecosystem -- and rebuilds them on serverless, type-safe foundations.
Someone should introduce the authors to the lovely em dash character. It's perfect for such sentences!

Honestly, you'll struggle to find a cloud platform cheaper than cloudflare. The $5/mo gets you 10 million dynamic requests (static assets are not included in this limit, so often a single pageview will be 1 dynamic request) and that would be across the whole workers product for your account, no extra pricing for extra websites, domains, or anything else like you'd see in most "wordpress hosting" I run all my personal…
I run a rust webserver on a €4 VPS from hetzner that serves 300M (million) requests a day. Way cheaper than doing that on _any_ "serverless" request-based platform, I think.
must be very light, for so much traffic. any more details?
The cost of building software has drastically decreased.
The cost of building software has drastically decreased. The arrogance of this statement is staggering.
We have a cursor subscription and work and i now see many non-technical people building their own internal tooling. People that had essentially never written a line of code before this new revolution.
The cost of building software has really drastically decreased.
So this product has nothing to do with wordpress, it's just another CMS that mentioned WP only bcz they created a migration plugin that won't work on 90% of existing wp sites and won't work on 100% of woocommerce sites. This is no successor, it's not even in the same universe. - vendor lock-in, losing gpl, losing access to plugins source code, loosing ownership.
So it's spiritual successor, not successor.

You can certainly run a VPS like that for cheaper, you could probably even beat the raw request numbers from those 1€ a month vps from ovh or similar. The key difference is with cloudflare your site is globally distributed by default, and you get to buy into the whole ecosystem, if you want.

yeah it's strange, if you are building a CMS in AI times, I think you would want an llm integration first. Not a UX clone of WordPress. The UX of WP is sort of a historical clutch not a plus.
