I'm getting so exhausted of the "slop" accusation on new project launches. There are legit criticisms of EmDash in the parent comment that are overshadowed by the implication it was AI coded and, thus, unusable quality. The problem is there's no beating the slop allegation. There's no "proof of work" that can be demonstrated in this comment section that satisfies, which you can see if you just keep following the enti…

They called the project EmDash and launched it on April 1st with a blog which brags about how little effort it took to write because of agents before even saying what it is . If the product launch involves dressing the engineering team up in duck suits and releasing to a soundtrack of quacking, it's really not surprising people are asking the guy they hid behind the Daffy mask on why he's dressed as a duck rather tha…

wait, this was not an april 1st joke?

how is anyone supposed to believe cloudflare to build a reliable cms after its reputation with the outages and mass layoffs

So it's spiritual successor, not successor.

It doesn't feel connected in spirit at all though. It is in the same category of app though. So there is that. Categorical descendant I'd say.

Here what Matt said: "The closest thing I’ve seen to a spiritual successor isn’t another CMS, it’s been OpenClaw.”

He's saying "the spiritual successor to WordPress won't be a CMS at all, it'll be something in a different category entirely. Or he lets his emotion get better of him.

Built on top of Cloudflare and Workers, I'm assuming this is meant to always build static and use Cloudflare's CDN for "static"

Astro is independent of Cloudflare and Workers; it can just output a bunch of flat html files you can do whatever you want with

Is EmDash built with static sites as a focus? I haven't found too much about it yet, I was assuming it does (or will) focus on server rendering with cloudflare caching when possible.

It isn't. This would be a plugin inside EmDash.

Are you referring to static vs SSR, or caching? I'd expect static vs SSR to be an Astro concern rather than an EmDash concern. If they didn't integrate at all with Cloudflare for caching out of the box that seems like a miss, though I could see it needing to be a separate plugin if they want to expose all the configurability possible.

All i heard in this article is that PHP is bad and yeah you can run Emdash anywhere but really you can't because we are so good.

Lmao. Well played. Typical Cloudflare. That said - I think you can ostensibly run it on any backend API. Idk what a "dynamic" worker is. But I know Astro handles routing and all the 'workers" really have to do is connected backend to DB.
