Cloudflare recently posted about competing with GitHub. Maybe this is a better place to compete if they are hell bent on going wide vs deep?

Medium, for me, is a weird shit show. There are people there I want to read, but I dislike the "medium". For a variety of valid reasons, ranging from page weight bloat, to killing the custom domain feature, and finally...to paywall experiments. I do recognize their strength in visibility.

Edit: happy to hear critical feedback.

Cloudflare isn't trying to compete with github, You have misread the news.

Not making that up, or paraphrasing from 3rd parties, from the Cloudflare CTO:

"If we do, what features would you like?" - Cloudflare CTO

The key word being "if".

It sounds like he's just curious what people want Cloudflare to do for the GitHub audience instead of making a full Github replacement.
