Cloudflare continues to be full of open-source surprises. Today Cloudflare announced EmDash as an open-source "spiritual successor" to WordPress with an emphasis on better security.

With the help of AI coding agents, Cloudflare engineers have been rebuilding the WordPress open-source project "from the ground up". EmDash is written entirely in TypeScript and is a server-less design. Making plug-ins more secure than the WordPress architecture, EmDash plug-ins are sandboxed and run in their own isolate. EmDash builds upon the Astro web framework.

EmDash doesn't rely on any WordPress code but is designed to be compatible with WordPress functionality. EmDash is open-source now under the MIT license.
