""I'm the main engineer on this. I've also been on the Astro core team for two years, so I do think I understand real open source software and community. As the post implies, I did use a lot of agent time on this, but this isn't a vibe-coded weekend project. I've been working full time on this since mid-January.""
""The effort needed to be certain it was safe to MIT license EmDash really drove home why it was important to MIT license it. For a lot of enterprises, GPL software is free only if your lawyers are free.""
""While EmDash aims to be compatible with WordPress functionality, no WordPress code was used to create EmDash.""
""WordPress is used by 42.5 percent of all websites and 59.8 percent of all CMS systems based on stats from w3techs. That makes it a huge target market, with Cloudflare's goal being to get some of those sites to migrate to run on its Workers platform.""
EmDash version 0.1 is a new content management system developed by Cloudflare, utilizing TypeScript and based on the Astro framework. It took two months to create, contrasting with the one-week timeframe for recreating Next.js. EmDash aims for compatibility with WordPress but does not use any WordPress code. The project is open source under the MIT license, which is significant for enterprise users. EmDash operates on Cloudflare's Workers platform, offering serverless capabilities that allow it to scale efficiently based on demand.
