Honestly I’d not recommend Wordpress at all. It’s quite outdated and therefore a pain in the ass to extend. There are more modern solutions like Craft CMS, Kirby CMS or Laravel with Filament, though ActivityPub support might differ depending on the platform.

Here‘s my quick list:

• Kirby CMS - really good flat file CMS
• Laravel with Filament - really good for more advanced projects

Other people seem to prefer Craft CMS, Ghost or Statamic. There are lots of free or paid alternatives to WordPress that are already better in most regards.

The reason people use Electron in the first place is that they wanna share a codebase between web, desktop and possibly mobile.

While Flutter can technically do that, the web apps it outputs are atrocious with poor usability and accessibility. It’s drawing the whole UI on a canvas element which causes all kinds of issues.

I didn’t try out a Tauri app on linux yet, I just know that it’s generally supported. What doesn’t work (well) as of now?

For anyone considering Electron: take a look at Tauri. It’s another way to build cross-platform apps with web tech. It will use the OS‘s web rendering engine instead of shipping Chromium which results in much smaller binaries and faster startup times and less RAM usage. You can also write native code in Rust. It’s like Electron but good.

Im a web dev and I build almost all of my sites without cookie banner unless they’re really required (YouTube embeds, invasive tracking etc) and when I don’t include a banner, people usually think I forgot it.

It’s a shame that most people think the internet just has to be crap now and every site needs some dark pattern banner to track its users.

What works best for me is the web version on desktop with an ad blocker. Runs relatively smoothly, no annoying ads.

Yeah that I think is the most upsetting part to me. Replace a perfectly fine product with a half baked one.

It is because it includes YouTube Music. A really crappy Spotify clone that nobody asked for.

Open AI‘s newest model is priced at 200 $ / month since they have been bleeding money and desperately need to earn some cash. This is probably the first sign of the bubble collapsing.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The only time I use the power button is when there is an issue which has been like 4 times in 3 years maybe? I think people complaining about the power button location have never worked with macOS and are used to shittier standby in other operating systems.

People really seemed to like this site I made a while ago and it performs well. But really any Wordpress site can be built well if with something like ACF and a custom coded theme.

While there are quite a few agencies and solo devs that click their sites together using crap like Elementor and a bunch of no name plugins that could often be replaced by a single line of code, there are also people building building clean maintainable sites with it.

That said, I usually don’t pick it for my projects. Kirby CMS is a much more flexible alternative. For anything more complex there’s Laravel with Filament to build a nice admin panel.

That would be great but the reality is that client’s mindsets need to change. I tried to explain to a client that Wordpress is not a good fit for their complex web application and yet they didn’t wanna switch to anything else. People are way too worried about new tech and wanna stick with whatever they know, even if it causes massive problems.

It’s also great for solving issues when you’re stuck. Not because of its superior reasoning skills but it can solve beginner issues and write you a list of things to try when it doesn’t know the answer right away. It’s like a rubber duck that will talk back.

Yeah but it has also been 2 full years since he bought it

Short term profit is all they care about until this platform crashes down completely

Not sure what kind of experiences you’re looking for but Ive been running it for a few weeks because Im only using my Windows machine for gaming and thought this would be a better fit.

It feels noticeably faster than regular Windows which is not just due to disabled animations. It somehow just IS a bit faster. You also won’t have the same driver issues and endless fiddling as with Linux. I quite like it overall.
