I'm going to be spreading the word of @EmDashCMS at @CMSconf_ 🇵🇱 this week, with a talk and a workshop with @itsNoahPham. If you're there come and say hi, or just tell me to get the name WordPress out of my filthy mouth

When I started EmDash, my goal was for WordPress sites to be "agent-portable", not compatible. Posts like this shows it works better than I could have imagined. Pixel-perfect theme conversion, and all custom plugins ported.
OK I did it. Migrated WordPress to Emdash. goodbye $600 bluehost server I've had for 15 years. 307 posts 6.7gb photos 4 custom content types 5 custom page templates 15 custom fields 1 semi-complicated plugin converted and a handful of simple ones Emdash skills moved it over, migrated off stylus(!) and it's pixel perfect on the front end. The page speed score went from 52 to 75. The Admin is fantastic as well - no problem for a WP user. Nice and fast

It seems ChatGPT Search solves the problem of out-of-date API knowledge. I asked it how to build an Astro content loader (a beta feature). Regular ChatGPT hasn't a clue. Enable search and it gives a perfect answer.

I'm playing around a bit with @astrodotbuild Content Layer API, and apart from the amazing DX, it is much faster than fetching API the old way 🔥 I'm just fetching some data using WordPress REST API. But I'm guessing the more fetches the difference would grow. cc @AndrewKepson

Is Vercel KV no longer a thing? It's not in the dashboard, though the Upstash marketplace integration is there. Is Postgres going to go the same way?

Incredibly, the auth process for @madebygoogle support involves them calling me, then asking me to read them the code from a SMS that says "do not share your code with anyone". Obviously I didn't comply, but it's shocking that they'd have a process so open to vishing.

This was a lot of fun. Thanks for having me, @nickytonline!
It was awesome catching up with @ascorbic from @astrodotbuild yesterday. We dove deep into the Astro Content Layer. In this highlight, we dig into how you can leverage the Astro meta store in a loader. Thanks again for hanging Matt!

The latest Astro 5 beta has important changes to legacy content collections. As of this release they're implemented under the hood with the content layer API. They should mostly work out of the box, but there are some breaking changes 5-0-0-beta.docs.astro.build/…
