Hey! Thanks for the questions and feedback. We have a single project on Vercel to host the Next.js frontend but that's the extent of our usage there, and our usage is mostly static with some SSR to fetch user and public functions.

If you could send us the id/url path of the sandbox demo you were on with the error that'd be super helpful. Thanks in advance! [email protected]

Ah got it, yes I’ll note this for next week’s update. Thanks and definitely let us know any other feedback! [email protected] :)

can you email your napkin function id (or the full url path) with us so we can investigate? that would be very helpful, thanks in advance!

Hey! If you’re familiar with the term JAMstack, you can think of us as the “A” for API’s. A static site like a blog typically doesn’t need any backend-specific functions but anything that requires a server to run you could use Napkin for. Popular frontend hosting platforms like Netlify and Vercel also have serverless function add-ons that can be attached to your project.

Our goal is to be the “CodePen for backend” and our one-off functions can be used for more than just websites (think mobile apps, IOT devices, etc). We’re excited to build out examples and enable discovery very soon!

That’s great feedback, thanks so much. We want to perfect the editor experience as much as possible. It can’t ever completely replace local, though, so we hope we can release our API in the future for this use case.

We’re big fans of both!
