It's down? Or is it supposed to say that this deployment us disabled due to lacking payment?

It's temporarily down while I migrate servers. I almost went bankrupt, glad I checked and stopped in time.

Hey, I'm on the team at Vercel. I see a few changes you can make to your app to help you stay within the free tier limits. Sent you an email.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to admire the work that has been done here while also critiquing the mess that is our web. Besides, it's not like this is a website anyway.

Yeah, exactly. They're not being assholes they're making minor suggestions. They requesting minor wording changes and how the thing says it doesn't work outside a chrome. If people aren't allowed to say that then people just aren't really allowed to say anything. I would rather everything people make that runs in a browser work in every browser but I get that there have to be limits and that I'm not entitled to someo…

If 98% of your content works everywhere but you've only tested 100% in one browser, I think "highly recommended" is perfectly valid.

> How difficult is it to test your site on the 3 major browser engines? Given that one of those 3 requires sending thousands of dollars a year to Apple, I'd say "very". Also, given that Google is a monopoly, I do place the onus on them to at minimum warn developers that they are deviating from well supported standards.

Mac mini is less than $500. And you can use it for years. Thousands of dollars a year is this around 10 times too high a figure.

$500 is a lot of money even for a west coast SWE and prohibitive in many areas.

That's true but the comment I replied to talked about thousands/year when in fact it is hundreds/year.

Its struggling in part because it decided it needed to do a bunch of non browser things.

Firefox isn't really making enough in donations to maintain a major piece of web infrastructure. So it gets search revenue from Google, which people complain about (and may not be long term sustainable). So they go make other paid for things looking for revenue, which people complain about.

The complaint is about manhours.

Maybe the search money dont pay the bills but they definitely squandered their improvements
