That might be a reason why Vercel, Netlify, Render and others are picking up usage. YC has been investing in several similar companies. Big cloud is going in the same direction with AWS Amplify/App Runner, GCP Firebase/Cloud Run and Azure.
With Google, I don't even know where to start. Messaging is not the only product line they messed up. Play Movies offering the same thing as Youtube Movies and Google Play Music - Youtube Music (you can buy, you can subscribe). Adding podcasts to Google Play Music, then removing it for a standalone app. However if you download the podcasts from the standalone app, they show up as Albums in Google Play music (on Android)
Some problems however:
Desktop app takes a while to load. I understand it's electron, but so are Slack and VSCode. I am ready to keep it open on Mac. But on pressing Cmd+W, it closes the app, though not quit. Re-opening from that state is still slow. No other electron apps do that.
Offline experience on mobile isn't good. When I am in subway and want to jot down something quickly, it searches for internet for a while before allowing me to do anything
All, I want to do is provide a Dockerfile that included a cross-platform build process. Including now specific build tools is not ideal for avoiding vendor-lock in.
Now has amazing for us to build prototypes, internal sites etc that we may eventually move to our standardized AWS infrastructure. Adding now specific build tools makes the process unusable for us
I understand from the docs that Now 1.0 is not deprecated yet, but it bothers me to invest more time in converting some of our internal projects to Now
Now offering 1.0 style deployments on an ongoing basis will be helpful.
