I find that opinion odd considering they've been rapidly improving the dashboard and making the deployment process simpler - now it's one click from connecting GitHub.

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

Well, Voidzero already attempted to rugpull the Vite project into a commercial paid licensing for "Vite+" that they then had to back out of and release under MIT because it just didn't work out.

I think Voidzero was already adrift without a plan and this acquihire is literally just that, new employment for the people behind it.

Maybe Cloudflare will allow them to maintain oxc, but expect them to writing features for Cloudflare Workers from now on.

Sometimes it does work out. For example, Zulip was acquired by Dropbox, spun out as an open source project, and now has its own foundation backing it, along with a board, etc.

Most of the time, it doesn’t. But it can.

> Maybe they should invest money in competing with Vercel on UX/DX

That's exactly what they are doing.

Vite is great and vite 8 was a huge speed-up so definitely a nice win for them. Remaining independent is always great but at the same time there are other "new homes" that could be worse so let's keep our fingers crossed and hope it works out.

their reliability is also way way down lately. too many mishaps and i've long lost trust in CF.
