EmDash: A Fresh Take on CMS
https://maciekpalmowski.dev/blog/emdash-a-fresh-take-on-cms/
Embarrassingly badly generated article, with no real takeaway other than "I let an LLM dig into the code, here's what words it chose to describe EmDash".
> Joost put it well:
> It’s not a CMS with AI features bolted on. It’s a CMS where AI agents are first-class builders.
Joost asked ChatGPT what he should say about the CMS, and you felt like it was a good quote.
> Why I won’t use it
> I migrated to Astro partly to get away from the CMS.
Well then you never needed a CMS in the first place? I also don't need use a CMS for my site, but I still maintain a CMS for customers because they do need it.
> Does it solve the right problem?
This is the only thing I cared about from this article, and the answer is [bag of words]. Are people really this desperate to put their names on new tech? Is it an "I want to be included!" mindset that gets people to prompt an hour of their life away?
> Astro itself wasn’t an obvious success from day one.
Astro is just the framework they built on, what does this sentence have to do with EmDash? I'm so confused about what this article is trying to tell me.
Also, how come you did not write anything about what it was like when WordPress had just released? I'm sure there are enough people who can help out with that. Did it have competitors? I wouldn't know, I was eating sand when it came out.
