There are a lot of developers who think they understand WordPress but they don't. It has a REST api that you can build on. Everything WordPress does. It's the API the browser client is built on. I didn't know it was there until I added WordPress login to FeedLand a couple of years ago. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. What can I do with it? It snuck up on me because it is an API to the web, and it's also the easiest API to for ActivityPub. If you think you understand the programming model for the fediverse, you should take a look. This is as exciting as any web product I did before, because now, after being asleep for 19 years, the web can now wake up. It really feels that way.

So far the WordPress API hasn't been promoted much, I only found out about it by accident. . Judge my success by how many other editors show up for WordPress and how they are all automatically plugged into networks defined by ActivityPub and RSS. People will be totally surprised by what you can do with tools that can be plugged into each other in all the ways you can think of.
