EmDash creators on lock-in, Node sandboxing, and Cloudflare's commitment [video]

Disclosure: I'm one of the hosts.

This was one of EmDash's first podcast interviews since launch. A few things that came up that I haven't seen addressed elsewhere:

- Kane confirmed Matthew Prince (Cloudflare CEO) directly asked "can we build the next WordPress?" — this was top-down, not a skunkworks project

- Their Q2 roadmap was literally a question mark. They didn't know if anyone would care. The community response changed that, and they're actively allocating resources

- Plugin sandboxing outside Cloudflare is being worked on by community contributors; Kane expects a Node implementation "next week"

- They want federated/distributed plugin marketplaces (looking at the FAIR proposal), not a centralized store

- Joost de Valk (Yoast creator) already has a merged PR improving SEO handling in core

- No marketplace monetization yet, but they explicitly want devs to build commercial businesses on it

First 37 minutes is the interview, rest is discussion of implications from a WordPress product perspective.
