Thanks for the questions and super valuable feedback! To be totally honest, I came from a Svelte/Framework background and just did not deeply consider/realise you can create a pure dom version and event handling with just plain js. It's definitely a valid point that I'll take into consideration into designing the next version. Currently it does seem a bit overengineered since the React, Vue and Svelte implementations are actually all wrappers over web components, and still potentially offer some (potential) advantages in advanced state management which I have not yet explored. I'll definitely look into this more deeply.
eh, you're cool, don't worry about the naysayers
While yea it is nice to directly deliver to HTML (I've done it many times), reality is most UI is in other framework languages. Plus I think a strong use-case is making output / browsing inside UI AI interfaces, which are also likely in a framework.
You provided enough for others who really care to add a direct-to-HTML plugin/fork if they so choose. Many of us want to use frameworks.
> While Meta has a non-binding promise to build more renewable energy, the Louisiana Legislature passed a new law that adds natural gas to the definition of green energy, allowing Zuckerberg and others to count Entergy’s gas turbines as “green.”
This means it isn't securities fraud when Meta tries to meet "climate commitments" due to the greenwashing of fossil gas generation by the state of Louisiana. Louisiana is a low regulation jurisdiction that doesn't care if most of the state ends up a Superfund site, so it is ideal to colocate data centers that are going to burn up a bunch of fossil gas there over their lifetime (when they are unwelcome elsewhere).

While I like solar & wind, when oil is drilled, natural gas is often burned off at the drill site. So if it is going to be burned, might as well make electrify from it.
"World Bank is urging energy firms to gather the gas and sell it to businesses and consumers.... Companies can use the gas in mobile electricity generating stations, to power their oil drilling sites, or as a fuel in petrochemical plants."

I am amazed that it appears that Meta did not ask for tax breaks for a $10B project. Seems like they absolutely could have 'bid' this out among competing locales.
They didn't have to ask for special new breaks; the breaks were already passed:

Access to very cheap power in the MISO region is likely one of the top driving factors for this location. It extends partially into Texas and I've found that my rates are sometimes as little as half of what ERCOT customers are paying.
The #1 thing that makes MISO so cheap is the fact that it has the heaviest coal generation mix (>40%) out of all US regional grid operators. Any talk about natural gas or renewables pales in comparison.
I would guess the 20 year 'tax break' (AKA the other taxpayers are footing the bill) is the real reason for the building. shell game
Meta built a data center in North Kansas City. I'm not sure details of their break (Mayor loves to hand out money), but power is likely cheaper, & def much greener (1/3 from wind farms in Western Kansas state last I checked).
"take advantage of a new Louisiana incentive program, established by Act 730, that offers qualifying projects a state and local sales and use tax rebate on the purchase or lease of data center equipment"

> I have to confess I really don't see the appeal of edge workers in general outside of specific applications where latency is of high concern. Such applications do exist, of course, but this kind of offering is treated so generally that I feel like I'm either immune to the marketing or I'm missing something important.
I agree, it mostly seems like a fad/gimmick.
Oh, there are lots of things you can do 'on edge' that can be easier/faster:
+ A/B testing + cookie warnings just for EU but not everyone else + proxy; helpful if you want to hide where your API is from or username/pass + route redirects + take off some workload from your server + mini applets (eg signup forms are great edge use-case)

Why design your own API so that I can't try it without rewriting my entrypoints? No thanks.
Cloudflare is building an insanely good platform and I think it is one that is worth betting on into the future. I have no idea where this company came from. Maybe it's a rebrand, because they seem to have serious customer base and perhaps network footprint.
PoPs are ~119 which is significantly fewer (less than half) of Cloudflare's presence, and Cloudflare has queueing, streaming, D1 (databasing), R2, and all sorts of other things. Workers' DX cannot be beaten.
Just my 2c. If the creators are here, I'd love to know why you decided to design a new API. That is so upsetting.
Cloudflare had only 100 PoPs just a few years ago. Bunny has been around 10 years, but didn't get the cash injection from Google like Cloudflare did.
If you read the article, Bunny uses Deno, CF uses a cut down version of Chromeium (each instance is like a browser tab; isolated). Thus the API difference.
But I do agree, CF is building out more of a suite.
I want to take down a full copy of a site hosted on Squarespace before moving off of it.
I have no access to source and can't even republish the site directly without violating Squarespace's copyright.
But having the old site frozen in amber will be great for the redesign.
I think you can also screenshot full length in Chrome-based browsers; do both desktop & mobile widths.
It would be a good backup for the backup, & you designer will thank you.

Thanks for helping to highlight how hard it is to track cloned/fake images.
BTW I guess 'watermarks' can be easily scrambled; add noise, filters, &/or recompress into another image format (eg JPEG -> AVIF).

I'm grateful that both x86 & ARM CPUs are perf-tested.
