Hi leerob, I am using NextJS from v.10 in production, and I believe it is amazingly effective way to write complex web applications really fast.

Recently (I would say, after the latest investment round), I as a developer see lots of new features implemented seems rushed, not complete or having no thought about community as a whole.

- API Middlewares are not working as expected [1]

- The new pages layout (i.e. app/) are super-weird, implemented in a completely different way from pages/ with 2 incompatible API sets - one for pages/ (i presume soon to be declared legacy and unmaintained, and shiny new but still experimental?)

- Images API just as others pointed, are beneficial to some tiny subset of developers who have bunch of static images locally. But for most projects it is not useful at all at the current implementation.

- Your release versioning does not make sense for a mature stable product. When you release new major version (e.g. v.13) you stop supporting older v.12 version, which

- Could you give balazsorban44 bigger team? Next-Auth needs more love to be a great product.

- The reproduction provided by Max[8] does not show the alleged issue. I was not able to reproduce, which is the same result that our support team saw. It sounds like there were some opportunities for better communication here from our team and I apologize for that. I will chat with them. Free customer or not, I want to help folks have the best experience possible on Vercel.

What a disappointing take.

In fact Lee was looped in six weeks ago; there was an issue with Remix and CDN cache behavior which popped up on GitHub. I mentioned my issues in that thread thinking they were likely related. Lee responded and let me know he would talk to the internal team.[0] However, Lee did nothing that was ever visible to me. Moreover, I completely disagree with your assessment: it should not require Lee or a social media to tackle issues like this, that’s completely unscalable and not a realistic way to run a business.

It’s pretty irresponsible of you to be suggesting folks reach out directly to Lee when frontline support fails. That sucks for Lee and it’s bad for the Vercel business.

To be blunt with you, your comment does not read well. It looks like you’re ignoring very real problems and doing everything you can to dismiss them as “bad faith” when in fact there’s a demonstrable problem which shouldn’t be excused as growing pains but instead addressed head on. This kind of fanboyism doesn’t help anyone and I hope Vercel takes the time to reflect on this feedback and make real, meaningful changes.
