I’ve been working on a side hobby project for a year in an attempt to solve these problems.

It keeps growing in interest, and the demand has become more than I can handle currently.

If anyone is interested in helping to build an open and secure platform that is an alternative to WordPress, please reach out or comment.

Blog about it and get it on HN?

Yes, this is a really great start.

One of my current clients recently had his WP install taken over, and SiteGround took it down for offensive content.

It’s just a basic informational website for his consulting business, and he never logs into it or makes changes to it. He has no idea how anyone hacked it.

It really baffles me that this is still a thing in 2025, and that people can’t get a basic Shopify type of experience for creating informational websites and blogs where they can set it and forget, and focus on running their business. They should be concerned about how their content website is growing their business and overall bottomline; not if they have been taken over with offensive content or not based off of basic security best practices.
