I'm sure outside of my personal bubble this won't be an issue, but I've found the buzz generated from this announcement to be kind of off-putting. The sheer amount of promotion leading up to this announcement has been in my face now for weeks and kind of driving me nuts.

That being said I see no reason to not welcome another competitor in this space... and it's free. I'm sure you are right and this will gain popularity, though the competition is stiff.

I get what you mean, the frontend dev community on Twitter seem childish and unnatural, spamming self gratification (don't know if it's the good term, basically trying to spread fake positivity all the time, trying to over talk about the inclusivity and woke social trends ) stuff and overusing using emojis.

I rarely check twitter but yesteday's Kent Dodds message section about a tweet announcing Remix's launch made me cringe.

I'm sure many of the frontend dev Twitter influencers are genuine, but I do get a similar vibe. Some of the conversations just don't feel real at all, very similar to _some_ church circles.
