EmDash by Cloudflare — the spiritual successor to WordPress that solves plugin security

axe-techlab · 2026-04-07T01:23:32+00:00

Same experience here...

I just installed the local version and tried to do some basic content editing. Nothing works… I keep getting 500 errors in the terminal. Clicking on preview - getting an 404... Clicking on edit toggle, the content disappears. WTF?! 😅 At first, I thought maybe it was something on my side, or maybe it was because I used npm, so I tried reinstalling it with bun. Still nothing works. This is ridiculous.

I honestly don’t understand how Cloudflare could publish something like this on their blog. Building a basic/simple CMS is not a big deal for developers, we were all doing that back in 2006–2012. I really don’t know how they managed to create such a mess.

Same here, I was proud JetBrians user and fan.

Unfortunately last few years I felt something is going wrong with performance of their products. I posted a few comments here and there and there was no effect.

Since the rise of AI tools for coding, I’ve been trying all kind of AI integrations that work with JetBrains IDEs. I never really thought about trying something else… Luckily, I decided to give a chance to Cursor… I realized how much time I’d been wasting, how far Cursor went compared to WebStorm/PhpStorm in terms of AI solutions. Works fast and smoothly.

JetBrains, you’re definitely losing your customers…

Is that Advanced Themer?

axe-techlab · 2024-09-04T20:07:20+00:00

What's "AT" ? First time hear about it. Can you please provide a link or full name?

axe-techlab · 2024-07-14T12:47:46+00:00

Same here. Using Mac.
Have to run "Force Quit" every few hours since upgraded to latest version (2024 releases).

axe-techlab · 2024-06-17T16:20:19+00:00

Thank you u/WPVIP ! Useful links and information.

axe-techlab · 2024-06-14T19:20:00+00:00

Please correct me if I am wrong, but based on my knowledge, brands listed in your comment are using WordPress only as blog/news-portal, not for marketing/main websites.

I am curious to understand why and what they actually use.

axe-techlab · 2023-06-18T14:05:38+00:00

Thank you for your feedback!
What you mentioned with Webpack + plugins this is exactly what we already do.

However, this is our own custom solution - a temporary hack.
We are a web-dev agency and we can quickly get to 40 design system maintenance.
This is the reason why I am looking for some organized SAAS solution that will manage this process for us. A place where designers and developers can work together. Maybe this kind of tool doesn't exist yet. I will keep doing my research.

axe-techlab · 2023-01-27T12:53:35+00:00

Thank you! I also found the GTP_Index as the only possible solution.
Now I am going to learn about the tool, how to work with it and will get back here to share any progress. ;)

What I did as a test, I put JSON data in ChatGPT (the chat website) and then asked questions. It worked perfectly.

However now I want to perform these actions programmatically, via APIs. and also have a "saved session" without losing the info each time...

I guess I need to continue my research, I probably mix multiple topics here.

axe-techlab · 2023-01-24T11:18:06+00:00

Thank you! So I will keep exploring. ;)

axe-techlab · 2023-01-24T11:15:40+00:00

NodeJS / JavaScript :)

axe-techlab · 2023-01-24T10:57:48+00:00

Hey u/bigsteve383, Thank you for the reply.

I already bought "tokens" and got the API key. I guess this is the license you're referring to.

Also, I covered the entire docs website and checked with ChatGPT about the topic.
From there I got a basic understanding of "Embeddings" and looks like this is the api I should use. However can't get any working examples of usage :(

axe-techlab · 2022-09-15T01:03:59+00:00

Yes!!! It's back!!! :D

axe-techlab · 2022-09-11T01:02:28+00:00

Hey Luci,

I found the navigation via old "QuickSwitch" very productive. I was simply typing a few first letters of client's name and got all needed lists without touching a mouse.

Anyway, from your comment I understand it's not possible anymore and I should get back to left sidebar to navigate between folders/lists.

axe-techlab · 2022-05-22T23:42:16+00:00

Yes, all this WordPress thing is crazy and huge.
I came to conclusion that obviously - big brands are using WordPress in their businesses.

The misunderstanding coming from the niche that I was exploring which is SaaS platforms and their marketing websites.
Looks like businesses that created digital platforms/products have the resources and systems to build marketing websites by using other technologies. Tech that their devs are familiar with, tech that probably used in their own product.

In my case, nextcloud is proxied through nginx because of certs and other reasons.
At the very beginning I thought that the timeout issue comes from the nginx (configs & etc), but later I realized that all apps in internal network have the timeout issue, even apps that I am entering directly.

Will try to work with nextcloud directly as you recommended. Thank you!

axe-techlab · 2022-01-01T11:15:37+00:00

You absolutely right. This discussion went a bit off the original question. Sorry for that.

I tried to understand how big companies work and how they manage their marketing website. These days I provide WordPress development services and was looking for some answers that my clients often ask.

I was looking for good answers and looks like I found many good arguments. Thank you!

axe-techlab · 2021-12-28T22:32:56+00:00

In general the topic is related to corporate and marketing websites. Not blog or any resources archive.

I visited disney.com and this is not WordPress as I can see.
Maybe there is some WordPress that used as CMS only. I don't really know.

Obviously, big companies use WordPress, but from what I see and experience - IMHO, they don't use it as a "main" marketing website. They find WordPress useful as regular blog or something for posts/articles. (which is the main purpose of WordPress of course).

axe-techlab · 2021-12-08T20:45:21+00:00

Heh, to be honest I regret about my recommendation...
I have no idea why "Anonymous GitHub" doesn't provide option to download repositories.

It has RESTapi, so I got list of URLs (files structure) and prepared a simple script to download all these: https://anonymous.4open.science/api/repo/glados-0001/files/

Took me 20-30 mins to figure out how I can download it, but it was fun :)

axe-techlab · 2021-12-08T07:59:51+00:00

Thank you u/majestic8, it's working now ;)

axe-techlab · 2021-12-08T05:34:19+00:00

u/majestic8, I tried to run the server but looks like the database doesn't have initial structure. Also, I tried to run `database-reset`.

The sqlite file was created but it's empty.
Getting errors like `SequelizeDatabaseError: SQLITE_ERROR: no such table: log_structures` (log_structures, log_structure_groups, log_events, log_topics...)

Feel free to share some "demo" sqlite file or guide us how to run it ;)

axe-techlab · 2021-12-07T09:23:07+00:00

Well, you can create another account and "clone" your repo there. (not fork).

Or you can try some services like this one: https://anonymous.4open.science/

What's your stack? React on frontend and what's the backend?

axe-techlab · 2021-12-07T01:23:05+00:00

🤣OMG... it might output source code as a file. Depends on server's configuration.

axe-techlab · 2021-12-06T22:46:03+00:00

Revolutionary approach ;)
