This is true.
Next.js is primarily made for Vercel and requires a ton of investment to make it work outside. Things like OpenNext exist but weād rather bet on truly open frameworks like Vite.

I think we're missing the big picture here. Grocery prices have risen 58% in the last 4yrs. Consumers are looking for expense smoothening as they navigate disparate income sources.
Excited to announce I just closed on the acquisition of a $14.43 Cava bowl after minutes of intense due diligence and secured a 4 month interest-free loan via Klarna Credit

Yes but it moves faster and you don't have to strip down to your boxers.
1. TSA Precheck now regularly has a longer line than regular. 2. Our airports are not the airports of a first world country.

Gospel truth.
Itās possible Iām dense, but ~80% of tech pitches (eg āuse us for instant KYB!ā) I get lead to sites with pages of words but have near-zero technical information and make judging the viability or usefulness of the product/service pitched impossible. And in fintech itās like 95%.

FWIW PayPal has always struggled with this dilemma of being a payments company or a commerce enabler. The inability to pick a path left it stagnant. It's great to see how @acce has answered the question and the product is finally getting built.
It was great talking with @LynneMarek and @PaymentsDive about our journey to transform @PayPal into a powerful commerce platform!
