Before it was Netlify Drop, it was BitBalloon. Matt shares how a simple idea from 2013 became a drag-and-drop deployment experience focused on getting front-end code live as quickly as possible.
From @angular.dev v22.1.0 on, Rolldown will be used as the default bundler!
Full @vite.dev integration when? 👀
github.com/angular/angu... November 2021: someone posted Netlify Drop to Hacker News. Not us, and there was no launch. It got 349 points.
The comments were all PHP shared hosting nostalgia. Drag a folder into FileZilla, refresh, live. Matt Biilmann built Drop on that in 2013.

How's your experience with Qwen 3.7 Flash? November 2021: someone submitted Netlify Drop to Hacker News. No launch, no announcement. 349 points.
Comments kept saying it felt like PHP shared hosting, dropping a folder into FileZilla and it just works. Still what it's for.

🚀 Zed v1.13 is out! The branch picker now offers a cleaner filtering experience for viewing All, Local, or Remote branches. In the All view, local and remote branches are grouped into separate sections. Thanks chirivelli!
Choosing a programming language used to be a decision you'd live with for years. Matt explains how Bun's rewrite from Zig to Rust shows how AI is making foundational engineering changes more achievable than ever before.
i mean, is it though, they renamed some pragmas, it still relies on 7 mapbox-maintained dependencies and is very much not a clean rewrite / trying not to have Feelings about this but it's weird stuff!
The interesting part of MCP 2026-07-28 is a removal. No handshake, no session ID header, no sticky routing. Servers scale horizontally the way HTTP has always scaled.
We shipped support for it on day one.

Sorry
Netlify signed the Open Weights and American AI Leadership document.
Matt's post on why starts in East Berlin in the late 80s, looking at a technology frontier he couldn't reach from where he was standing.
