Wordpress has value in its ability to get a site up very quickly. If I, one person, want to, I can get a pretty professional site up in a day. That's a powerful. I can then come back to it later and improve it given my needs. Startups are all about limited resources and Wordpress is a good tool to use. What's a better alternative?

How do you feel about this? https://www.elegantframework.com/ https://www.elegantframework.com/ It's literally a React based alternative to WordPress, built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS. An offical launch here and SHOW HN is coming soon :) I'm able to create and launch a professional website in only just a few minutes, complete with users docs and a blog. It has a near perfect Lighthouse score, and already crushes wordpress.com in all the SEO areas.

  Your missing some key pieces. What databases are supported? What does the schema look like? Is there an api? Why can't I try it out?

    Yes! Thank you for the feedback. This was just a simple idea and concept that dang encouraged me to prototype an MVP for. The concept has been receiving really great feedback, and the project is progressing way faster than I had imagined. The project is still in it's infancy, but the market is helping to drive the rapid developement.

That's no real reason. If I use a bootstrap template and some rails magic I have the same professional site up just as fast but I don't hinder my future success trough a security nightmare, a overly complicated framework and super slow rendering times.

  > super slow rendering times If you enable caching, the website with load as fast as a static website on most devices and connections.
