I think it's currently non-selfhostable. You can host your own git server (knot) and CI runner (spindle) but not really the UI/API itself, but they're working on changing it. Currently it's a bit centralised

I have a Next.js app too, and it takes about 1m30 to deploy. it really takes longer to build when your app gets larger, and if I'd had to rebuilt the app focusing on build time, I'd probably go with Remix

(note this is with Vercel's [proprietary] build cache, it takes longer when there's no build cache)

The steps are simpler because you know what you're doing, The guide from Microsoft told me to download 5 different products and download the Windows App SDK as an independent component. That was 20GB plus other MBs for the SDK. When I hit F5, it downloaded so many dependencies. It took minutes and the App was using a constant 56mb of memory while doing absolutely nothing (no events, no background threads nada) might as well use Electron.

It is important to note that I was trying to create a WinUI3 app.

What they meant by saying they decoupled it from Windows SDK is that it is now only found in the Windows App SDK which in turn STRICTLY REQUIRES the Windows 10/11 SDK which also requires on other tool chains and eventually Visual Studio.

I tried to build an unpackaged app but it didn't work (after I click run, the app closes immediately and some errors are spewed into the console. I can't understand the error and so can't Google)

You don't really understand this. You're using a shiny new computer so running Visual Studio is not a big deal to you. You wouldn't say so if you were say living in Africa and having a really shitty connection. Sublime already allows me to build and run Android apps on an emulator by clicking Ctrl+B and takes 30s for a cold start (the app is very complex). VS took minutes (for Hello World).

I want to build a WinUI3 app, and that seems to require 56mb and a hundred of mbs of dependencies just to show a button with "Click Me" on it.

yeah but I wanna build WinUI3 apps not Win32. And that requires Windows App SDK and C++ tools which in turn require Dot net and the Windows 10/11 SDK which in turn require Visual Studio which makes it 20GB storage and 10GB ram.

Is it my problem that I don't know how to run msbuild? I mean you've been building windows apps for years so it's easy for you but how tf am I supposed to know that I can't use nothing else other than VS to build a hello world Windows app?
