Classic Press is a fork of WordPress that leaves out Gutenberg and has all the legacy PHP < 7.4 stuff stripped out. It's nice.

Huh, this actually looks very promising.

It's not the same but laravel is a neat dev platform as well. Lots of community made libraries and relatively drama free.

I program a lot with both wp and laravel over the last years. Not sure what I want to say other than they are cool but different vibes and skills.

Wp can be used out in the box by almost anyone who is web savvy; laravel is always needing some assembly, at the least, so the entry there is programming or deep pockets to pay that.

Wp community and sites is probably a thousand times larger than laravel?
