  • Ask HN: Why hasn't Drupal benefited from WordPress's current issues?
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Oct 2024
    Good point on the timing, but I really hope Wordpress users aren't migrating to Drupal en masse.

    Drupal would be a very poor fit for most Wordpress-y sites (simple marketing pages, basic ecommerce, etc.). It's overkill and way too complicated and requires endless maintenance (see my rant in a sibling thread).

    There are a lot of better, lighter options for people who liked the ease-of-use of Wordpress.

    Wix/Squarespace are better choices for hosted/proprietary solutions, or in the FOSS/self-hosted world, there's https://ghost.org/, https://strapi.io/, https://getgrav.org/, or older PHP ones like TYPO3, Joomla, or CraftCMS.

    There are also a lot of commercial headless CMSes (https://cms-comparison.io/#/card) that are good fits for devs who want to code a frontend (in a framework/language of their choice) for non-dev clients. (Disclaimer: I work for a headless CMS, but this is my own opinion). Wordpress can do headless too with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, but that was previously bought by WPEngine and now caught in the crossfire between them and Matt :( https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/

  • Ask HN: Where After WordPress?
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Oct 2024
    I have a few blogs running Ghost and really like it. Plugin and theme ecosystem is nowhere near Wordpress size. However, Ghost is much easier to modify and use IMO, maybe because I'm more comfortable in javascript ecosystem than PHP.

    - optional: needs to still be around in 5 years

    Ghost has no ACF apparently (https://forum.ghost.org/t/custom-fields-for-posts/1124/46 and (https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/9020) and Astro is too custom as of now and I don't want another Gatsby (too short-lived).

    https://ghost.org is the other good option. It also has an Open Source part that you can host yourself if you need in future.

    WordPress is matured and lots of options (plugins) to get it done one way or the other.
