## Description

EmDash is an open-source content management system built on Astro that combines a visual admin panel with a plugin-driven architecture and server-side rendering. It provides a complete content management system with structured content modeling, a rich text editor using Portable Text format, and a TypeScript API for type-safe content queries. The system supports authentication through passkeys, OAuth 2.1, and external providers, with role-based access control and fine-grained permission scopes.

What distinguishes EmDash is its plugin development framework, which supports both native plugins running in the same process and sandboxed plugins executed in isolated environments with declared capabilities and resource limits. Plugins can contribute custom admin pages, dashboard widgets, settings forms, lifecycle hooks, and API routes, all while maintaining security through capability declarations and automated security audits. The system also includes a decentralized plugin registry with signed releases and integrity verification, enabling a marketplace for third-party extensions.

The platform offers comprehensive content and media management through its admin interface, REST API, and CLI, including draft workflows, revision tracking, scheduling, multilingual content with per-locale management, taxonomy classification, navigation menus, and widget areas. It supports importing content from WordPress, including posts, pages, media, taxonomies, and custom fields, with automatic conversion of Gutenberg blocks and Classic Editor HTML to Portable Text. Additional capabilities include full-text search, AI assistants for content and schema management, email notifications, payment gating via Solana blockchain, and cache invalidation on content changes.

EmDash deploys on Cloudflare Workers with D1 database and R2 storage, or on Node.js with SQLite or PostgreSQL, and includes automated database migrations, seed file bootstrapping, and preview environments. The system provides a CLI for project scaffolding, schema management, type generation, and plugin development, with support for Docker containerization and unified deployment of the admin interface and frontend site.
