If I were attending a conference I'd hope that the keynote speaker would put more thought into his talk than this. Not only is it childish, it's disrespectful to his audience.

And so nice it looked at the beginning… Instead of WordPress, what solutions do you use? Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Webnode and other wysiwyg ones are even worse imho. Are there any non-Nodejs or non-React open source CMS that don’t vendor lock you? Because I feel that WP somehow sucks in details and maintenance, but I can’t find anything comparable without being sucked into development hell. :) Thanks for suggestion…
After a few years building on WP I switched to https://getkirby.com/ and never looked back.
The only issue is to have more themes available, at getkirby-themes_com there are 22 only.

Are the good old PHP CMS dead ? Things like Joomla, Dotclear, Drupal …
I'm not a lawyer, as you will soon realize. This is just water cooler talk, which is what HN is for. I sort of directionally think that if WPE had a strong case here, their opening bid wouldn't be a C&D (I've noticed C&Ds frequently include a "preserve documents" section, presumably as punctuation, but for what it's worth that's an implicit threat they might sue). The meat of this C&D seems to be a section towards th…
Matt is predictable. WPE wrote this letter for the community. They knew Matt would throw a fit and they would be able to take the high ground while also releasing an assassination of Matt’s character. The Wordpress community doesn’t care about Wordpress.com, Matt just blew what little credibility he had left. Worthless as a legal letter, brilliant as a response for the Wordpress community. Matt will inevitably step d…
Also, I see no way how this going forward even in front of courts could end up with wp engine replacing WordPress.com.

Thanks. It seems really good. PHP, files and folders instead of db, easy templating, plugins, admin interface built on Vue.js, open source at GitHub and a commercial license as well. Since 2012. The only issue is to have more themes available, at getkirby-themes_com there are 22 only.

Because it's not designed with a theme approach. It's designed to build custom sites. Themes aren't really a thing inside kirby because of the tight relationship between content itself and admin interface. I like to think at it as an in between something like Laravel and WordPress.
More themes that you can choose from -> more Kirby users -> stability -> more users coming from other solutions etc…
semi-off-topic: Does anyone have alternative links to twitter? I'm in Brazil and don't wanna go around and risk a fine just for a tweet...

I got it. But explain this to people who are spoiled by $59 themes :) More themes that you can choose from -> more Kirby users -> stability -> more users coming from other solutions etc…
Disclaimer WP Engine Customer - I read the comments from Matt M yesterday, and it felt like a hit piece. I run a website for a couple scifi like conventions, we need cheap reliable hosting without me having to deal with the vagaries of running wordpress myself. I would have bought a product like WP Engine directly from Automattic, but AFAIK they dont offer one, this feels like lashing out at a competitor because they…
I can't speak to the reliability, but it's definitely not cheap
