What WordPress might look like if it were designed today?

Question

Hey Product Hunt Community! I'm the co-founder of deco.cx, and alongside our passionate team of 30 engineers and designers from Brazil, we're on a mission to remove all friction from web development—making it enjoyable once again.

Imagine a platform designed for the next generation of 10 million web creators, inspired by the idea of rebuilding WordPress for today's internet. That's deco.cx: an open-source frontend platform that redefines the development experience with:

- A modern development stack: Deno, TypeScript, React (JSX), and Tailwind.
- An open-source headless CMS.
- Simplified editing for non-developers.
- An AI Copilot for tasks ranging from coding to content generation.
- A browser-based coding IDE.
- Figma-like real-time collaboration.
- Built-in A/B testing and personalization tools.
- A vast library of pre-built components, themes, and templates.
- Instant real-time analytics.
- Your choice of scalable managed infrastructure or self-hosting.
- Seamless integration through easy composability.
- A rapidly growing community of creators and developers.

After a year of honing our platform in Brazil, we're getting ready to introduce deco.cx to a broader audience globally. Our Product Hunt launch is scheduled for April 2nd.

We're here for your insights, feedback, and suggestions.

Accepted Answer

If WordPress were developed today, it would likely feature a more intuitive, minimalist interface with streamlined navigation and increased usability. It might contain additional visual editing capabilities, allowing users to customize layouts and designs with ease utilizing drag-and-drop functionality.

Curious about the AI Copilot's content generation capabilities. Looking forward to the Product Hunt launch in April!

Rafael Crespo · Answer

@stsl1211 Anyone will be able to generate and optimize content (images, SEO keywords, description, blog posts, etc) directly in our CMS :)

Tyrone Robb · Answer

Is this what your product currently does?

We just moved to WordPress from Webflow, the key reason being the lack of flexibility in the CMS. Turns out we hate WordPress, but will be here for a while. I'll check you guys out and see if its worth switching earlier.

Good luck either way.
