Of course, to be fair, Meteor is still in business after taking the same path (though it seems most efforts are directed at Apollo?)

You're getting questions about target market, and I'm pretty sure the answer is web development agencies, right? Any shop with a high volume of projects will need a development pipeline, stack, and ops story that is straight forward and fast to work with.
The value proposition of Gatsby to website agencies is working with modern tech & completing projects faster, and for e-commerce it's higher conversion rates which add $$ to the bottom line.

#34This is extremely surprising, right? I clicked the headline thinking it was a shame some tech company chose the same name as a fairly popular static site generator. I guess when I see things like $50/mo for them to host a site, I just assume it's an extremely small team with a couple clients.
Gatsby has existed as an open-source project for >4 years, but we just launched our CMS Preview in open beta about 3 months ago -- lots more to come on that front!

#36I have no idea how well the hosted service works, but Gatsby has been one of my favorite frameworks for a while, and I'm happy they're throwing some extra talent into making it awesome.

#37So, a Wordpress competitor? I'm curious to hear more.
There's an out-of-the-box Wordpress/Gatsby integration, and we recently hired Jason Bahl, the creator of WPGraphQL, to make that integration even better!

#38Kudos to the Gatsby.js team. Gatsby is developer experience nirvana, I really enjoy building with it.

#39I have set up the same blog maybe 3 times and I always stop posting because I need to be in my coding environment to do so (and if I'm there, I might as well be working on code). I'd really like to find something that I could use to make a post on my gaming pc, for example, where I can add images easily (and have them resized properly). I feel like I should probably just set up a wordpress site, but wanted to know if I had other options.

#40Or is it for another reason this isn't an issue?
