This is an discussion with the folks from the WP Product Talk podcast with the EmDash team. They get some good clarification about the product and how it is like and different from WordPress.

Joost makes the points that leadership is jumping around following trends while letting the technical debt pile up. WordPress doesn’t have an architect. EmDash isn’t the be all, end all, or the next thing, but that it is a signal.

In this article Roger Montti shares his assessment of the new CMS from Cloudflare.

Cloudflare is building a WordPress competitor. It is billed as “the spiritual successor to WordPress that solves plugin security.” EmDash is powered by Astro, which is a super fast web framework for content-driven websites. It’s also architected to be AI-first with Agent Skills, EmDash CLI, and a built-in MCP server.
