NextPress CMS is in Alpha - All of WordPress in JavaScript, now available for testing.
by•
WordPress powers a huge share of the web, but it still runs on a stack many teams do not want to maintain: PHP. This results in vulnerable and slower websites. NextPress keeps what works (pages, posts, media, blocks, SEO, a WordPress-compatible REST API) and rebuilds it on a modern JavaScript stack: Node.js, a React admin, and fast server-rendered pages. Get a clean codebase your team can actually extend in TypeScript.

Hi Product Hunt 👋
We're excited to share our first version of NextPress. WordPress rebuilt in JavaScript.
Today you get: block page builder, posts/pages/media, SEO, WordPress-compatible REST API, one-command Docker self-hosting, and a WordPress import tool.
Why not WordPress? Faster server-rendered pages, a cleaner admin, and a secure modern stack (TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL) you can actually extend.
We're in beta, so expect rough edges. We're looking for early adopters and collaborators in marketing, design and engineering who want WordPress familiarity without the PHP/plugin/hosting.
What would make you switch? Would love your feedback. 🙏
