I really like the stuff by Zeit but if you've been a user for more than a year it's insane how quickly the platform is shifting under your feet.

"The latest version of the CLI is now x.x.xx" - and all that stuff you think you knew how to do has changed. And we've added a useful feature that's only documentation is Github issue #432.

Also this email is to inform you that you've been charged incorrectly because you're on Now v1. Upgrade to Now v2 for cheaper rates. It's simple, just follow these 8 steps, change your entire mental-model of how everything works, and flip this obscure option in your settings.

It's as if their development process is a bunch of hackathons thrown out to the public.

You're doing good work Zeit, but please, some order.




Hey, Leo from ZEIT here!

I agree strongly. There's been a lot of chance over the last couple of months, as Now 2.0 appeared and the entire platform started adapting to it.

However, I'd also like to let you know that the entire concept of "platform versions" is just a temporary way of slowly allowing everyone to migrate to Now 2.0 at their own pace. Once this process is complete, the whole concept of platform versions will disappear and I hardly doubt there will be any major changes from that point on.
