EmDash is a new open-source CMS from Cloudflare. The reason people care is not just that it exists. It is that EmDash combines structured content, an Astro-first frontend, Cloudflare-native deployment, and a plugin model built around explicit capabilities instead of broad default trust.
Congrats on the launch! The architecture here is really well thought out. I’m excited to watch this ecosystem grow and build on it!
