The fork claims 57% smaller client bundles and 4x faster builds, though skepticism is warranted since Vinxi lacks features like static pre-rendering. Cloudflare also introduced 'traffic-aware pre-rendering' to avoid building all static pages upfront. The broader implication discussed is whether AI-assisted cloning of open-source projects via their test suites will push companies to keep tests private, potentially disrupting the open-source business model. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
