The most useful thing Cloudflare could do is allow us to disable the `__cfduid` cookie. That's one of the big reasons I stopped using Cloudflare on a public-facing API/CDN.

#32Are there any updates to the Cloudflare Registrar?
Would be awesome to have marketplace or master/sub accounts. That is, launch a saas say a landing page builder and then allow my customers to also purchase domains from my saas (under my brand account) and have them automagikally configured. Instead of having the user to use namecheap/godaddy and mess around with their crappy control panel. Maybe have an opportunity to raise the price by a $1 [to the end user] and have revenue stream?

#33One feature I would love is a global code search that has the quality of the repo (as measured by forks/stars/pagerank...) as a part of relevance ranking. A use case is simple: I have some library and I am not exactly sure how to use it, so I go into global code search and try to find usages of that method. First thing that comes would be some relevant code in a big context of a well engineered repository.

that can usefully search code for more than function names.

> quality of the repo (as measured by forks/stars/pagerank...) These two seem unrelated. Quality is not measured by popularity. There is plenty of popular stuff that's junk, and good stuff that nobody uses.
Precisely. For my organization, I'm looking for a way to quantitatively measure and compare quality/security postures of repos/packages when importing.

#36cloudflare running SMTP relays for your own mail system, in both directions, doing spam filtering, etc, could be valuable. argo, edge workers, etc could all be useful in an email environment.
most everyone is already convinced you can't run a mail server yourself, so perhaps the haters wouldn't think that cloudflare is ruining anything by getting involved in mail?

#37More seriously. I’d be curious to hear about what you’d build on our network. We are all over the world and it would be fun to hear about companies other than GitHub that you think we should disrupt.
I'm a big supporter of Cloudflare and have been using it for almost 8 years. I personally don't think doing something like that is what Cloudflare needs.
What Cloudflare needs is further customization, especially in regards to caching. We actually had to migrate a certain part of our infrastructure to Fastly due to the lack of caching customization/rules.
I'd like to see:
- Custom caching rules similar to the new firewall rules
- Finer granularity of the cache expiry (I'm aware Enterprise has the ability to cache for 30 seconds, but we don't want to upgrade to Enterprise just for that one thing).
- Cache hit rate analytics grouped by path/domain/etc

#38The amount of business Cloudflare employees handle direct over Twitter, and the amount of responsiveness from their higher-ups on it is... kinda incredible. I imagine it's only practical because Cloudflare doesn't have a lot of public brand awareness beyond tech folks.
We care a lot about the product and the people who use it.
If only you could say the same about potential employees. Your recruiters seem to have a penchant for completely ghosting candidates, even when several interviews deep into the interview process. This has happened to me twice now, with two different recruiters, even after being told by the interviewers that I was well qualified and surely would be moving to the next step. And after glancing at Glassdoor reviews, this doesn't seem to be uncommon whatsoever.

#39I’m amused this is here. This was a random reply to someone who thought maybe we were doing this. To be clear: that’s all this is. But I’m happy to hear all the suggestions.
I’d think if CF were interested in branching out (no pun intended) into auxiliary areas, they would be looking into perhaps offering some Netlify-like services to complete the circle (or even acquiring Netlify, which I believe would be a perfect fit for CF).

#40Earlier quoted context omitted.
Gitlab is a pretty decent Github competitor that certainly isn't a BIG corporation.
Huh? So we are going to jump on smaller corporations, make them bigger and leave them for a smaller one? I believe the keyword in his idea was decentralized. Disclaimer: I don't care personally.
It's not federated, but since gitlab is open source and you can run your own instance, you could call it distributed
