  • https://github.com/uswds/uswds/issues/3877

    This is a super clean and simple feature website. They could offer supports very widely, and the cost won't be high! (I'm a web developer)

  • Next.js

    The React Framework

  • Yes, there are lots now! There are some good ones, but some are definitely way pricier than I think they should be. With Next.js, you can even use Wordpress as a cms to back a static blog (https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/cms-w...)

    Just a few off the top of my head:

  • SurveyJS

  • wp-calypso

    The JavaScript and API powered WordPress.com

  • > Unless the new Wordpress is written in node, comparing the new “JavaScript” stack with the old “LAMP” stack makes no sense to me. Those technologies do not serve the same purpose.

    It's written in JavaScript; it runs on node.js - at least the front-end part of it (https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso). I don't know what is running on the backend but I don't think it's LAMP.

    The point I was making though is that "WordPress" can mean two different things - wordpress.org (the self-hosted LAMP version) or wordpress.com, which is a SaaS offering (so the language is more or less irrelevant unless you're really interested in running your own admin frontend, I guess).

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
