The Browser Becomes Your WordPress

The AI slop writing is borderline unreadable.

Anyone's got the latest on Mullenweg's tantrum before I decide if I care? This [1] used to be the place but it got less maintained as time went on. [1] https://gist.github.com/adrienne/aea9dd7ca19c8985157d9c42f7f...

This is a very interesting take. From the article: > Because sites on my.WordPress.net are private by default and not accessible from the public internet, they don’t behave like traditional websites. They aren’t optimized for traffic, discovery, or presentation, and they don’t need to be. Instead, WordPress becomes a personal environment where ideas can exist before they are ready to be shared, or where they may never be shared at all. One of the main ideas of the internet, and therefore WordPress, is to be able to share stuff on the public internet. Without that capability, I wonder who would this be targeted towards. For personal note taking there are numerous software already out there.

Am I the only one who's not getting the point of this?

Used to love wordpress. These days, I prefer to just use claude code to generate a mostly static website that I can host on a cloudflare cdn for free. Extremely fast, extremely cheap and reliable.

Aren't all these use cases just better as markdown files? I don't get it.

Imagine opting to use Wordpress over a local or desktop app/tool. In theory this is kind of a cool idea, but the bloat of Wordpress is insanely not worth using over.. a .html file.

This is highly impressive from a technical standpoint. All back end tech you used to need in a server for now lives in your browser. I see this as an example of being able to build complex apps in a browser, which are much more portable than system apps.

Unrelated: I know they're all anal about the capitalization in WordPress, but "my.WordPress.net" looks ridiculous.
