Introducing EmDash — the spiritual successor to WordPress that solves plugin security

Today we are launching the beta of EmDash, a full-stack serverless JavaScript CMS built on Astro 6.0. It combines the features of a traditional CMS with modern security, running plugins in sandboxed Worker isolates.

A WordPress spiritual successor backed by Cloudflare sounds great in theory, but the headline feature, plugin isolation via Dynamic Workers, only works on Cloudflare's runtime. On any other host it's just a TypeScript CMS without the security model that justifies its existence. Open source but architecturally locked in.

I missed this. So they didn’t really solve much at all. I guess at least it’s compatible with other runtimes. But yeah, who would’ve guessed that Cloudflare software would (besides being vibeslop) prefer Cloudflare infra. This, of course, makes the software quite hard to adopt.
