What you give up either way

  • Curated community discovery / network of showcase sites hosted by Cargo
  • Any proprietary templates or managed themes not replicated
  • Zero-config integrated hosting and onboarding flow

An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Cargo, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
