So a one-man show + Claude that forked the repository and removed a lot of code in one week[0]. With all respect for the presumably good intentions, why should someone who relies on WordPress use this if there's no solid maintenance story behind it yet and no obvious path to sustainability.

Wordpress updates and gutenberg bloat have created constant bugs over the past few years. The idea is a headless CMS that feels like wp with familiar workflows and end-points. It's easily usable by the massive user base of wp without all of the excess. I have about 15 years of experience building with wordpress, and I felt that it was time to take this in a better direction. As for sustainability, it will be a lot simpler to maintain compared to wp because I'm not adding bloat for the sake of it and will simply need to keep it compatible with newer version of PHP etc. Please let me know if you find any bugs. :)

It says right at the top of the page “Pre-release: DMPress is at 1.0.0-beta.80 and is not yet recommended for production use.”
