You still need all that, you're just paying someone else to do it for you. As the app gets more complicated you will have to do more. It is impossible to remove complexity by adding abstraction. You've only hidden it.

True, but like every thing else there are economies of scale to having a few specialists managing the abstraction that everyone else can depend on.

Am I the only one having problems to follow .gif "demos"? When I get to the image, it is in the middle of everything and I don't really have an idea what is going on. Even watching it multiple times, I am not sure where it starts, ends, what the individual steps are. Or is it because I just don't know enough about this stuff?

Oh, and to make this more than a simple rant/whine, some constructive suggestions that could possibly solve the problem: - Normal video with playback controls? - Add a clearly distinguishable "this is where it starts" screen. - Is there maybe a way to control playback of a gif via JS/HTML? Add a "restart" button. - Add a timeline into the .gif that shows where I am (similar to usual video player).

Make it a webm. Then you can right click from pretty much any browser and click "show controls". See Gyfcat.

Yeah they should've just used asciinema where you can actually manipulate time, and copy/paste directly from the video.

You can view controls on GIFs in many cases as well, I believe.

Also, nobody seems to make use of these features, but GIFs do not have to loop, nor do they have to loop by going back to the very beginning of the animation as well. In particular, I find it extremely ineffective where there are GIFs that only show a "final product/scene" for like 1 frame before looping back to the beginning.

I've never been more excited about a cloud platform than I am about Zeit/Now. I wish you offered stateful volumes or key value stores or something where I can persist my data so I can keep all of my stack on Zeit.

I suggest you use something like DynamoDB, it fits this paradigm quite well.

Setting up and maintaining a kubernetes cluster on my own would probably kill me desire to touch a computer again. Azure and Google provides free Kubernetes-cluster-management-as-service. But you are right, its still a hassle.

Deploying to a Kubernetes cluster is easy. You just have to learn a few key concepts to write your own .yaml definitions. Also, some open source frameworks come with the .yaml definitions already.

webm doesn't work on iOS if that matters
