EmDash as atproto CMS

Continuing the discussion from Moving atprotocol .dev off of Ghost:

I’ve been paying attention to EmDash, the Astro-based rewrite of WordPress.

It’s an appealing complement to Astro since it comes with a complete visual editor, thus making site editing far more accessible.

If the community leans into this we’d have a very capable atproto-native CMS on our hands, with which we can make a compelling case for organizers to get on-protocol with their websites.

A similar case can be made for the Astro-based but more indie and lightweight StudioCMS, except it doesn’t have the same critical mass that EmDash is currently enjoying.

An RFC has taken shape for this, based on atproto and FAIR.

Thank you for keeping an eye on this! I had been following very loosely, given that important functionality was tied exclusively to Cloudflare and I don’t like being locked in. Clearly people are on it already, so now I’m going to start snooping in way more closely :eyes:
