On: Infinite Git repos on Cloudflare workers

[stavros]

This is a very impressive technical achievement, and it's clear that a lot of work went into it.

Unfortunately, the entrepreneur in me continues that thought with "work that could have gone into finding customers instead". Now you have a system that could store "infinite" git repos, but how many customers?

TFA is literally marketing for them. HN is their target audience and a good way to capture that audience is to show them something technically interesting.

I agree. That’s a really unfortunate way to view somebody’s project.

Is it a project, or is it a company?

This feels like you're trying to ask rhetorically, but... Cloudflare hosted a program for startups to build things on Cloudflare Workers. This is a project that somebody built as part of that program, which they're now launching as a product.

Ah, that explains it, thank you.
