EmDash is an open-source content management system from Cloudflare, built in TypeScript on the Astro framework. Cloudflare introduced it as a spiritual successor to WordPress , and version 1.0 marked its first stable release .

This article compares EmDash with WordPress based on the kind of site you are building and who will edit it. I have read up on EmDash and watched demos. Some of it does not impress me yet, but the project is early. We like many of Cloudflare’s products and value what the company does for the web. For our own sites, we would start with a pilot before committing to a migration.
