  "textContent": "[Brandon Payton at WordPress]\n\nThis is absolutely bonkers. If you’re on a desktop browser, it’s worth trying now.\n\n> “With my.WordPress.net, WordPress runs entirely and persistently in your browser. There’s no sign-up, no hosting plan, and no domain decision standing between you and getting started. Built on WordPress Playground, my.WordPress.net takes the same technology that powers instant WordPress demos and turns it into something permanent and personal. This isn’t a temporary environment meant to be discarded. It’s a WordPress that stays with you.”\n\nUsing WASM and local storage, an entire WordPress setup is installed _in your browser_ , private to you. I’m curious about how nicely this plays with browser syncing — I’m a Zen user and use Firefox accounts to sync between devices, but haven’t kicked the tires yet. Because I flip between a few devices every day, that would be meaningful to me.\n\nBut still: running a web application like WordPress in a browser is a meaningful innovation. Launching it as a product instead of some kind of labs experiment tucked away somewhere also indicates that they’re confident in it. It’s interesting to think about what that might mean for other self-hosted personal applications. To-do lists? CRMs? Source management? Lots of scope for private apps that are entirely based on the web platform. What a neat thing.\n\n[Link]",
