Somewhat off-topic: WordPress has proven that there is still a market for WordPress-style CRM and managed solution even in 2024. Why hasn't a strong, open source competitor emerged over the years? Because if there is an alternative, this article would be much less relevant, and the events may not have happened in the first place. Is it because CRM, especially the dynamic kind, is no longer cool, and developers are not interested in this area any more?

There's also Payload which I've heard good things about. The other part is that agencies are being squeezed out of the side of the custom website market where WordPress offers appropriate trade-offs. Most agencies that build on WordPress anymore are theme chop shops.

- b3ing 2y agoWordPress has done a good job of taking the top ideas and incorporating them quickly into its CMS. Many times not right away, but under the hood they are there and they can easily built a UI for it later. They got a lot of ideas from Drupal, Tumbler, SquareSpace, Ghost, Headless CMSes, etc.
