#62“Free”?
What’s the catch, or how I can I be sure it will still be around in 3 months?
No snark, genuinely curious as I would use this if I could count on it.

#63What differentiates production-ready images from regular images?
It probably means that the text was generated by an AI.
Claude Code loves to say that everything is production ready, even if it doesn't quite compile or pass automated tests yet.

They're bedazzled by a little bit of marketing flair. Generally I find production-ready images have more synergy and tend to be web-scale. Often they're built from the ground up for AI & are blazing fast, at scale, and empower your team whilst unlocking new possibilities. As my sibling comment suggests, being cloud-native is a crucial factor too.
I'm confused. It was sarcasm?

The only tech you can trust to be around is the tech you control. And even then it's still a bit iffy if you didn't write all the code yourself and you host it on someone else's servers.

This is for the dozen or so people that don't have Chrome installed.

#69Congrats on launching, beautiful design. I'm not sure of what "production ready" is supposed to mean here, but the demo image is not optimized, `optipng` command decreases its size by 53.21%.
Curious - How did you find the image is not optimized? Is there a tool to find it?
