""WordPress powers over 40% of the internet. It is a massive success that has enabled anyone to be a publisher, and created a global community of WordPress developers. But the WordPress open source project will be 24 years old this year.""
""Hosting a website has changed dramatically during that time. When WordPress was born, AWS EC2 didn't exist. In the intervening years, that task has gone from renting virtual private servers, to uploading a JavaScript bundle to a globally distributed network at virtually no cost.""
""EmDash is fully open source, MIT licensed, and available on GitHub. While EmDash aims to be compatible with WordPress functionality, no WordPress code was used to create EmDash.""
""We hope that allows more developers to adapt, extend, and participate in EmDash's development. EmDash is committed to building on what WordPress created: an open source publishing stack that anyone can use.""
Cloudflare launched EmDash, a site-building tool designed as a successor to WordPress, emphasizing enhanced security and flexibility. The company argues that the nature of websites has evolved significantly since WordPress's inception, necessitating an upgrade to accommodate modern needs. EmDash is fully open source and MIT licensed, allowing for greater adaptability and participation from developers. Cloudflare aims to maintain compatibility with WordPress while avoiding its cybersecurity issues, positioning EmDash as a more suitable option for contemporary web development.
