Hey people,<p>We launched a preview of App Spaces (v2) today which is our attempt to make the Microsoft Azure portal much friendlier for developers who are new to Azure or new to cloud, and don't want to deal with all the cruft and intense complexity that Azure/AWS/GCP/etc provide. We know that there's so much more we can do to make these experiences better and this is our beginnings of getting there via something like App Spaces.<p>You can check out our site at <a href="https://www.appspaces.dev" rel="nofollow">https://www.appspaces.dev</a>, or go directly to the experience (<a href="https://ms.portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_PaasServerless/StarshotHome.ReactView" rel="nofollow">https://ms.portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_PaasServer...</a>).<p>If you want to learn more or provide feedback, you can reach out to me-- sk dot hartle at microsoft dotcom. We want to rapidly iterate on our initial design here and get to core value within the next half a year or so. We know we have a long way to go, which is why we're releasing it to the community to help us drive and shape our roadmap.
Nice idea for developers who are approaching Azure, except that among the start apps there isn't Blazor which is from Microsoft... you're certainly doing it to attract other developers.
What azure needs is a sanboxed, free dev environment that one can actually learn in. That's the biggest first hurdle, and generally one that just makes people say fuck it and go elsewhere.
not sure it's okay to have microsoft azure as your logo in the navbar? you're not from the microsoft, right? it may be misleading, better use own identity :/
