More stuff I’ll say on farcaster but not on X: I think theirs a big backlash against Vercel/NextJS brewing. Seeing the team focus on their AI product while NextJS gets more and more janky (upgrade to 15, etc) and predatory (lock in features) is disturbing. I don’t think their business model is working out.

Sorry to be piling up on your every post about NextJS, but I have been in the same mind space for a while. We actually moved /basepaint from vercel to railway for this reason. I think their business model is genius and is working out great. Whenever it's working out to the bar of VC expectations, we'll see, but giving devs sexy-looking smooth and free DX to hook them up and then charging arm and leg for unrelated things (like traffic or sending logs out!) is as profitable as it gets. The terabytes of education content and all LLMs being trained on NextJS just deepens the moat. I do feel back about the JS ecosystem though. We painted ourselves in the corner here. There are generations of "senior devs" that never touched a server and never built a UI without React.

there are also thriving web dev communities outside of the React and Next.js bubble. Communities, companies, even giant corporates that use other frameworks Crypto specifically is the deepest Next.js bubble but I'm working on changing that

Would be neat to offer a web3-native vercel alternative! What are the coolest things something like that could offer, from the app dev perspective?
