Cloudflare EmDash competitor to WordPress

Cloudflare keeps up the tradition of releasing incredible (free) projects on April Fool's Day, and today EmDash was released.

It is a full-featured TypeScript content management system (CMS), powered by Astro and Cloudflare. EmDash takes the ideas that made WordPress great – extensibility, admin user experience, a plugin ecosystem – and rebuilds them on a serverless, type-safe foundation. Plugins run in isolated sandboxed Workers, solving a fundamental security problem with the WordPress plugin architecture.

WordPress was built for a different era. Running WordPress today means managing PHP alongside JavaScript, creating cache layers to achieve acceptable performance, and knowing that 96% of WordPress security vulnerabilities come from plugins.

EmDash is WordPress if you were starting from scratch with today's tools.

Add-ons in a sandbox environment.

WordPress plugins have full access to the database, file system, and user data. A single vulnerable plugin can compromise your entire website.

EmDash plugins run in Worker sandboxes via Dynamic Worker Loaders, each with declared capabilities. What does this mean?

A plugin that requests read:content and email:send can do exactly that and nothing else.
