So if you could somehow build performance-safe extensibility, you could emerge as a solid alternative especially if you continue targeting developers (they spread the word more effeciently.
Anyway, perhaps I'm biased w.r.t performance because I built Cachoid (for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, etc) but this could be a niche with interesting growth.
I know a few people who have had problems with speed with their Wordpress sites, will tell them to check out Cachoid.

This would be good. You can also crowdsource part of that effort if it's time intensive.

Feel free to pass on my email (joe@). Thanks so much!
The goal is to have developer centric features like making it easy to embed gists, jsbin and the likes. Also integration with GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket to showcase the repos you contribute to. Other features like an API, webhooks, 2FA, Oauth planned too.
Probably posted it prematurely but wanted to ship it and get some early feedback.
