The UX/DX for serverless functions is amazing and almost entirely intuitive -- anything else I needed took me 30 seconds on their well written docs.

I've been following Val Town for a long time and it's amazing to see the product grow so fast and get so good. I recommend you to check it out if you have any task you would like to automate and don't want to fall into the https://xkcd.com/1319/ trap. Don't have anything in mind? go and play anyway, you will have some fun and learn something new :)

Huge fan of the work Steve and Tom are doing with Val Town. It feels like they really found the perfect abstraction so that you can focus on writing code that's flexible and works how you expect in so many different ways without worrying about infrastructure at all. Huge congrats on the launch and can't wait to see where it goes next!

I can't speak highly enough of Valtown. Fun, easy to use, but the composability and advanced features like the key/value stores make it extremely powerful. plus Steve & the team are super responsive & open to feedback

Playing with val.town I was able to make a bluesky bot (with a cron job that fetches an rss and posts any new message via bsky’s API), and a server-side rendered map, with Observable Plot, of the USGS live earthquake data. Just a few lines of code, zero deployment headaches. Brilliant!
