Explore the composable web platform now!" source: "https://www.netlify.com/blog/2015/04/07/netlify-news-no.-2/" last_updated: "2026-07-27T21:13:56.000Z" --- Woohoo! We’ve launched [Netlify.com](https://www.netlify.com) and are now live, both with hosting of static sites and apps (as you knew it from [bitballoon.com](https://www.bitballoon.com)) and our continuous deployment service. We want to thank our beta-testers for all their help! And thanks so much to everyone who has already signed on. We are getting raving feedback, and are really excited to see our work put to such good use as well. It sure seems like we’re on to something :) **Hacker News** We were really stoked a couple of days ago, when our launch spent the [entire day on the front page of Hacker News](http://netlify.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3ca88a0cd26d026e590224d67&id=3f546fb6c3&e=8a3a3955ba) with more than 100 upvotes and lots of great comments. **100% Netlify** On a more personal note Chris (co-founder) is now no longer with his Danish agency, and is super excited to move permanently to San Francisco so he can focus 100% on Netlify. **Future** We are currently working on some things at that we are really excited about introducing to everyone. Please let us know of any features you would like. We can be contacted in any number of ways. ## Static web-tech … is fortunately for us still becoming more popular by the hour. **Staticgen.com** Our open-sourced resource [staticgen.com](https://www.staticgen.com) is getting more traffic than ever and has in a few weeks gone from listing 70 to now more than 80 static site engines. **Meet up** We also created a meet-up on meetup.com, which quickly got 90+ members. It’s going to be about all things static and you can sign up right here. Our first meet-up will be coming soon. If you’re not in San Francisco, fret not — every event will be taped on video and put live on [staticwebtech.com](https://www.staticwebtech.com) :-) Thanks for reading. Have a fantastic day! All the best, Matt & Chris * * * _This post has been featured on **[Netlify Milestones on the road to 1 Million Devs](https://www.netlify.com/blog/2020/08/03/netlify-milestones-on-the-road-to-1-million-devs/#netlify-officially-launches)**_: [![Netlify 1 Million Devs article feature](/v3/img/blog/featured-on-1-million-devs-banner.png)](https://www.netlify.com/blog/2020/08/03/netlify-milestones-on-the-road-to-1-million-devs/#netlify-officially-launches) ### Share - [X (fka Twitter)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Netlify News No. 2&url=https://www.netlify.com/blog/2015/04/07/netlify-news-no.-2//) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netlify.com%2Fblog%2F2015%2F04%2F07%2Fnetlify-news-no.-2%2F%2F) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://www.netlify.com/blog/2015/04/07/netlify-news-no.-2//) - [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/intent/compose?text=Netlify News No. 2+https://www.netlify.com/blog/2015/04/07/netlify-news-no.-2//) * * * ### Tags - [Netlify](/blog/tags/netlify/) - [News](/blog/tags/news/) ## Keep reading ![](/images/blog-fallback-thumbnail.svg) News & Announcements August 3, 2020 [ ### Netlify Milestones on the road to 1 Million Devs ](/blog/2020/08/03/netlify-milestones-on-the-road-to-1-million-devs) - ![Profile picture of Scott Mathson](/_astro/ff50e3d67a0f986ff642fc8ce6e492bc7ed05525-80x80_Z1UEirk.webp) Scott Mathson ![](/_astro/d0354fe52c160a3abdfdeff297a1baf090302a3d-1600x900_Z1eDdJG.webp) News & Announcements July 14, 2026 [ ### More headroom, a lower per-credit rate, and a bill you can predict: introducing new Pro plan tiers ](/blog/new-pro-plan-tiers) - ![Profile picture of Gehrig Kunz](/_astro/b4e9f58d914d1334ea70d53ea55a1f26b26f1445-512x512_17SwOI.webp) Gehrig Kunz ## Recent posts Tools & Services July 27, 2026 [ ### The 13-year story of Netlify Drop ](/blog/thirteen-years-of-netlify-drop) - ![Profile picture of Wade Wegner](/_astro/0302ff22eb844e648b11d7cff3cedbbc3c9de876-2667x4000_Z5j6wM.webp) Wade Wegner News & Announcements July 14, 2026 [ ### More headroom, a lower per-credit rate, and a bill you can predict: introducing new Pro plan tiers ](/blog/new-pro-plan-tiers) - ![Profile picture of Gehrig Kunz](/_astro/b4e9f58d914d1334ea70d53ea55a1f26b26f1445-512x512_17SwOI.webp) Gehrig Kunz News & Announcements July 13, 2026 [ ### Netlify inside of Claude Design ](/blog/netlify-inside-of-claude-design) - ![Profile picture of Sean Roberts](/_astro/bbf2243f8171dbddd80ab2103622106cef84d125-512x512_Z1d2LKE.webp) Sean Roberts ![](/_astro/3f255b372fa958df35802666ee33b4609b2d71bd-1200x1586_1VtE2D.webp) ### How do the best dev and marketing teams work together?
