I thought the name hinted at the fact that this was a WordPress replacement, not a static site generator (which there are plenty off).
I used to build lots of WordPress themes years ago. I've seen a lot of static site generators popping out every couple of months, or API-driven frontend frameworks linked to a headless CMS. I've (successfully) used a few of them. But what about "all-in-one" dynamic website engines? Are there new interesting ones out there that I have missed?

It can also work in concert with a CMS, though: https://vitepress.dev/guide/cms https://vitepress.dev/guide/cms
- evantbyrne 3y agoGive Wagtail a try if you are a fan of Python/Django/Postgres. It is a very good CMS while also properly integrating with the underlying framework. Payload CMS is a far less mature option but it looks promising and could be a decent choice for teams that prefer JavaScript/Mongo. I have no direct experience with this one so can't say if it is good in practice.
