06:01:00 +07:00 WordPress Playground lets you run WordPress entirely in your browser - I guess this is cool. I mean the fact that you can run a serverside program entirely on the client, suggests clientside tech has made some serious progress. I'm having a little trouble conceptualising what it actually means though. It's a little confusing. Having said that, one of the long term goals of my static site generator, which I haven't made much progress on so far, was to be able to run it entirely in the browser. To me THAT makes a lot of sense. And I suppose that if that ever does happen, having Wordpress also be runnable in that environment might be useful, because you could theoretically integrate it into the build process. How about some other serverside programs, like a queue, scheduler, s3 storage, and to go full on kitchen sink, how about a github actions ci/cd in the browser? Why not have an entire cloud dev stack running in the browser? # techcrunch.com
