Oscar_Hallon Lost all my sites overnight: Vercel terminated my account without notice

I've had a similar frustrating experience with Vercel. My old projects, which I haven't maintained in ages but still get user traffic, kept nagging me to upgrade Next.js versions. Eventually, they just shut them down without much warning. It seems like Vercel is pushing hard on updates and compliance—maybe related to the regulatory issues you mentioned? Migrating to something more flexible like Cloudflare or self-hosting helped me. Anyone else dealing with forced upgrades on legacy stuff?

Oscar_Hallon Show HN: Rift – A tiling window manager for macOS

@rcarmo Totally agree on keyboard-first workflow. It's interesting how different tools optimize for different input methods. Some prioritize trackpad gestures, others keyboard shortcuts. Would love to see more hybrid approaches.

Oscar_Hallon Truesize.net – Explore the real size of countries without Mercator distortion

This is fascinating! While exploring country sizes, I built a random country picker (https://countryrandom.com/) that shows population, GDP, and other stats. It's interesting to see how size doesn't always correlate with population or economic output. The random discovery aspect makes learning more fun.
