Ah yes, if only deploying Next.js sites was as exciting as Netlify's PR team makes it sound. Spoiler: it's just another episode of "Yet Another Platform Struggles with Open Source"
. Meanwhile, your sites might benefit from some "Agent Experience" – whatever that means.

Hopefully last update: a different Netlify support person responded to my email thread and said the previous employee was wrong and this won’t count as a transfer, and will let me get the authorization code I need to transfer right away. All right then, fine! #Netlify
#Netlify update again: Name.com customer support is saying they won't help me because my domain wasn't registered there, despite the Name.com reseller agreement saying "comply with ICANN and support your customers or else" and my email to support being "hey Netlify isn't complying with ICANN and supporting me".

This is such low stakes in terms of everything's shitty and all software is on its way to being bad for business, but dang.
#Netlify update: if you have a domain controlled by Netlify, turns out when you’re ready to leave, they will only let you transfer to an account at `Name.com, rather than the domain registrar of your choice. Doing so counts as a transfer under ICANN rules: no further transfer allowed for 60 days.
I am getting my remaining #11ty sites off Netlify ASAP.
I just noticed that Google dropped my homepage from its index, and now shows LinkedIn when someone searches for my name. Quel horror. And I don't understand why, the Search Console reports a “redirect error” for https://www.joachim-breitner.de/blog but there is no redirect happening. I wonder if Netlify is to blame. Judging from Search Console graphs the issue started at the beginning of the year. All very mysterious.

I got an email my #Netlify account has been suspended due to nonpayment (credit card on file expired). They had sent an email about upcoming renewal of a domain I have there in December, but otherwise have not emailed about a current bill at all, let alone about an invalid payment method.
When I log in, I’m not even able to see what sites I have there that would be served if it hadn’t suspended them in the middle of the night.
I’m so glad I already moved my main #11ty site to Cloudflare.

@jwildeboer I added the records and now the domain is showing the homepage, however all other pages keep using netlify subdomain:
https://sustainabilityinthemaking.com/
when I click 'about' becomes:
https://sustainainabilityinthemaking.netlify.app/about/
Is it still something that needs to adjust or is something I need to set up somehow in Netlify?
Hello #Fediverse, I need some help!
I am moving a website from GitHub Pages to #Netlify . The domain is register via #Namecheap, and when I was looking to the documentation, it isn't clear to me how to set up the DNS (I don't want to transfer the domain to Netlify).
Any tips or instruction pages that I can use will be very much appreciated!

#WordPress tech question: How do I get a custom 404 page to load when running a WordPress-to-static site on #Netlify?
I am using Patrick Posner's amazing Simply Static plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/
The site was built with Elementor. And when running locally, WordPress loads the 404 template correctly.
However, when running the static deploy on Netlify, the 404 template does not load. It is loading Netlify's 404 notice.
Any links to docs or personal experience to help me get there?
Populating env vars using 1Password #Eleventy #Development #Netlify #1password
I love automating things and — with that impulse entirely unchecked — I've written up a shell script to make setting this site up for local development even simpler.

#11ty fans. I have an #builtwith11ty v3.0.0 site deployed on #netlify and I'm trying to speed up build times. I'm using incrementla builds and netlify-plugin-cache but still takes forever. My site is not large only 96 pages. Do you have any advice?
Initializing takes from: 11:47:01AM -- 11:47:23AM. 22.000s
Building takes from: 11:47:24 -- 11:47:47. 45.954s
Interesting.
"Netlify’s new Free plan joins Netlify’s other self-serve pricing plan options and is exactly what it says on the tin: free forever with no financial risk. On the Free plan, you can deploy commercial projects, personal sites, or other creative explorations you want to share on the web."
@kellysims @Luke Hah. I'm working to spin up a site on Ghost and hadn't occurred to me that they don’t store as static files.
@nazhamid You use #eleventy right? That's all on static files, no? How are you enjoying it? And I think you mentioned you were hosting it on #netlify as well?
Rebuilding your Netlify site at regular intervals #Development #Webdev #Netlify
With my site on Netlify I've set up a function to rebuild it at regular intervals (hourly, in my case).

Found the issue. It seem like having ~unquoted strings~ numbers (!) in the yaml categories is an no-no. This fails:

This renders:

#netlify build running as we speak. Fingers crossed.
