I don’t understand why downloading code is such a difficult feature for a website builder — I get the competitive aspect. BUT! It would bring so many users to your system and really would be great marketing — why not compete by giving people what they want and just practice love in not lock in? Especially when you’re already there with the OSS license?
Seems a real missed opportunity.
- doctor_eval 3y ago> practice love in not lock in I haven’t heard this phrase before, it’s such a great way to describe how I like to do things, which I would have written as “compete on quality rather than treachery”
- BHSPitMonkey 3y agoLots of companies will behave this way... when times are good. They can be fairweather friends at best. Eventually it's time to batten down the hatches, and that's when licenses change, interop gets removed, etc. like we've seen again and again.
- happytiger 3y agoIf that were true there wouldn't be companies in Open Source.
- oleg009 3y agoWe are launching a CLI soon that will allow syncing data and self-publishing, starting with Vercel as first destination.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 3y agoYou know that's not what users actually want though, right?
- happytiger 3y agoStill want export. Not vercel. Really don’t want another locked in platform. Can’t be clearer. Abandoned the platform after this comment because it’s just missing the point. Be for the Internet not the VCs dude.
