I’m amused this is here. This was a random reply to someone who thought maybe we were doing this. To be clear: that’s all this is.<p>But I’m happy to hear all the suggestions.
Cloudflare folks. Please don’t do this. I don’t know if Mr.Cumming is serious.<p>As a user of CF, I hope you folks go a lot deeper than broader. Example: Better cache management – compete with Fastly, my tickets on load balancer bugs were open for almost 6 months, etc.
The amount of business Cloudflare employees handle direct over Twitter, and the amount of responsiveness from their higher-ups on it is... kinda incredible. I imagine it's only practical because Cloudflare doesn't have a lot of <i>public</i> brand awareness beyond tech folks.
I'd like Cloudflare to not do a Google and let a thousand flowers bloom only to let most of them wither. They seem to be taking on a lot just with their new public VPN service.
One feature I would love is a global code search that has the quality of the repo (as measured by forks/stars/pagerank...) as a part of relevance ranking. A use case is simple: I have some library and I am not exactly sure how to use it, so I go into global code search and try to find usages of that method. First thing that comes would be some relevant code in a big context of a well engineered repository.
Decentralized SCM features for issues, CI, etc. GitLab is great but it is still mostly centralized. Creating a modern connector for IPFS would be awesome.
cloudflare running SMTP relays for your own mail system, in both directions, doing spam filtering, etc, could be valuable. argo, edge workers, etc could all be useful in an email environment.<p>most everyone is already convinced you can't run a mail server yourself, so perhaps the haters wouldn't think that cloudflare is ruining anything by getting involved in mail?
The most useful thing Cloudflare could do is allow us to disable the `__cfduid` cookie. That's one of the big reasons I stopped using Cloudflare on a public-facing API/CDN.
The only non-core-business work that I really want from Cloudflare is to do something with LuaJIT stewardship, because I thought they were supposed to be taking the helm and the official GitHub repo is basically completely dead.
More seriously. I’d be curious to hear about what you’d build on our network. We are all over the world and it would be fun to hear about companies other than GitHub that you think we should disrupt.
Are there any updates to the Cloudflare Registrar?<p>Would be awesome to have marketplace or master/sub accounts. That is, launch a saas say a landing page builder and then allow my customers to also purchase domains from my saas (under my brand account) and have them automagikally configured. Instead of having the user to use namecheap/godaddy and mess around with their crappy control panel. Maybe have an opportunity to raise the price by a $1 [to the end user] and have revenue stream?
A couple CF items I’d like:<p>1) Vary by cookie for $20/mo or free plans<p>2) A page rule for “don’t send origin cookies” or something (useful for not passing through those headers from the origin for assets/etc)<p>3) getting the peering connections better in AU so the network handles traffic like normal instead of only $200/mo plans getting priority/local AU routing
If Cloudflare wants to branch out, here're an idea.<p>Global Memcached or Redis. Support caches near the edges. SPA or apps running on a client's browser/machine can use the one nearby. Support pre-populating/warm-up the caches in batch.
How about Github without a big corporation? Not controlled by Cloudflare, ddecentralized and uncensorable. Like bittorrent, but for git repos, issues, etc.
