It's just where the attention would naturally go.

So we're like, let's fill this gap.

The end ideal stage should be that

you know, Vercel eventually just manages all this and there's no need for this.

So we built that.

It annoyed Vercel a bunch.

But yeah, it was very useful for the people that, you know, were trying to deploy on other places.

Eventually, we kind of rallied some other providers that had problems with Next.js as well.

So Cloudflare, Netlify, I think Microsoft got in there eventually too.

Google got in there eventually.

And they kind of built stuff, adapters for Open Next.

And eventually the Next.js team had time to kind of like, okay, let's make an official adapters API.

And in the past year or two, it became a much more collaborative thing.

And I think the need for OpenNex is slowly going away.

Less than a year.

Yeah, yeah.

Back in February, our company, we were basically doing a push to hit profitability.

So with SST, we had a monetization path for that.

Basically, for three or four months, we were running out of money.

But our revenue was going up.
