FWIW, Netlify Edge Functions do not support `export default { fetch }`, they use `export default` which is a fetch handler.

AFAIK no version of Remix uses this either(?)

Not to take away from your general point — this does seem to be becoming a convention!

TanStack Start generates this now too :)

Hey @benmccann.com I'd love to spark more Netlify—SvelteKit collaboration 👀. Will you be there? or @eltigerchino.bsky.social?

(I know Rich will be—we've just never interacted before 👋)

Heh, literally yesterday I attached my full Goodreads export and asked ChatGPT which books on my to-read shelf would work well as audiobooks during daily 30–60 min dog walks. I was quite happy with the breakdown.

These are good use cases IMO.

Looking forward to meeting a bunch of folks I've collaborated with across the ecosystem for the first time at @viteconf.org in a couple weeks!

@danielroe.dev @pi0.io @43081j.com @thealexlichter.com @ryansolid.bsky.social (we were briefly teammates! 🫡) @tannerlinsley.com... anyone else?

I was pretty surprised when I learned about this too! It's called Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) if you want to go down a rabbit hole. :)

Drive-by opinion: it should always be enabled and those who oppose it are misguided zealots, emotionally attached to 2010s `return next()` and incapable of growth 😤.

I mean... uhh, it belongs in an "unopinionated" rule set. 😇

Three vulnerabilities affecting Next.js were just disclosed. @netlify.com sites were unaffected by two and are highly unlikely to be exposed to the third.

Thank you to the @nextjs.org team for working with providers to keep Next.js sites secure.

I never opened Duolingo again after hitting a 1000-day streak.

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair.

Philippe Serhal @philippeserhal.com · Jul 22

This has honestly been really fun to work on — and to dogfood while developing my own projects.

I can't believe how easy it was to build that Nuxt module... It makes me wonder about clever use cases we haven't thought of 🤔.

Pretty sure we can make it work with Next.js...

Any fun ideas out there?

At @netlify.com, we've quietly released something that I’m really proud of. With a single npm package, you can now run the full Netlify platform right in your local environment, with a minimalist API built on web standards.

Here’s why I'm excited about it. 🧵

Some *slightly* overdue cleanup:

$ nodenv uninstall -f 0.10.48 6.9.1 8.9.0 8.11.4 10.15.3 10.24.1 12.2.0 12.16.3 12.18.3 12.22.0 14.15.3 14.15.4 14.15.5 14.16.0 14.16.1 14.17.0 14.17.2 14.18.2 14.19.0 16.13.1 16.13.2 16.14.0 16.14.2

... oh, uh. Does anyone still use nodenv? Is that overdue too?

Philippe Serhal @philippeserhal.com · Jul 19

@eduardoboucas.com hah, didn't you just start writing a lib just like this a few days ago?

The only way to get jQuery was not to reply! 😶

Thanks! We'll get that clarified. :)

Full Netlify platform emulation right in your native dev command

✅ Vite: add `@netlify/vite-plugin` (bsky.app/profile/netl...)
✅ Nuxt: add `@netlify/nuxt` (bsky.app/profile/dani...)
✅ Astro: now just works with `@astrojs/netlify` (👇🏼)

Which framework should we level up next?
(No replies = jQuery)
