sorry to hear that's been your experience. i actually joined through an acquisition about a year ago and one of the main things we've been focused on is the dashboard and overall dx. sadly "hostile ux" is a phrase i've heard more than once and we're working hard to improve. if you're open to it, would love to hear more about the issues you've be running into

The dashboard UX has improved a lot lately but one thing that drives me absolutely nuts is that I get rate limited all the time using it. For example, I had to recently change an env var we had on a handful of apps and opened them all into new tabs and made the changes and about half way through I started getting rate limited. This has happened to me many times and I've reported it to support and in Discord but it st…

yeah you should definitely not be getting rate limited, sorry this is annoying you're not the first to report i will dig in.

as far as support, i know there is a huge effort going on right now to improve response time and support in general, also I'm not as active in discord as I ought to be there's just so much noise, feel free to ping me on there directly if I can help brandon/@ygwyg. can't promise it'll be an instant response but I will respond

Everyone's trying to build end to end agent -> prod platforms and wants to own the tooling for the dev environment part of that.

5 years too late. at most this acquisition should've happened before Cloudflare went all in on workers.

> Before saying anything else, we want to make the most important thing clear: Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+ will stay open source, vendor-agnostic, and community-driven. Nothing about that changes. Given how every single acquisition like this has gone, especially lately, I look forward to seeing how quickly these products get left behind and unmaintained as their entire team move onto things at CF.

Vite is a multi stakeholder team. How would that happen?

I suppose we'll just have to see if it does.

I thought they're gonna build their own hosting platform eventually. Where is the fun in this :(

I am really happy for the developers.

I'm sad to see these tools go. Vite was a godsend after a zoo of webpack/grunt/etc.

But what will happen is that new sane tool will come up once vite dissolves and that's the never ending cycle.

Vite isn't a product. It's a tool. It will be succeeded if necessary. It happened to Webpack after Microsoft hired the creator, and the JS community pivoted hard. Bundlers and compilers in the JS world happen once a decade it appears.

I was at the hardware store this morning. I bought a hammer. It sure seemed like a product... with the whole "being displayed on store shelves" and "available for purchase" thing. There were several different hammers there, bearing different branding and having different manufacturers. I don't quite get the distinction...

You paid for the hammer. Did you pay for Vite?

Congrats to the team.

I appreciate Cloudflare's loud positive proclamation here wrt the OS future; I know scepticism is warranted with some takeovers but although there might be a trend towards Cloudflare fit over the long term that's very different from closing down or abandonment so this generally seems positive to me - best wishes to all parties.

My guess is investors are getting a good return on investment so they are probably pretty happy.

They've raised over $16 million [0]. For a decent 3-5x return for that, they would need to have been acquired for around ~$50 million. For a team of 19 [1], thats around $2.5 million per employee for Cloudflare. Worth it? no idea [0] https://voidzero.dev/posts/announcing-series-a [1] https://voidzero.dev/about

Presumably being able to influence their roadmap is worth it

Evan has done really great work. I haven't used Vue extensively (not my company's stack) but am a huge fan of Vite and it has helped our React pipeline a lot. I've also recently started playing around with CloudFlare pages and workers and it's already such a pain-free process to get basic apps up and running, I imagine this collab will make my life easier.
