(SOLVED I WAS BEING STUPID) Predatory vendor lock in change

(SORRY I AM STUPID AND WAS UPSET FOR NO REASON. THE BELOW IS FALSE AND MISLEADING.)

Hi all. If I am not mistaken, it seems the Weweb team made some changes to how raw code exports happen on paid plans.

Here are some seemingly out of date docs (https://docs.weweb.io/settings-billing-code-export/hosting-and-code-export.html) which seems to imply that I can export the raw files for my latest deployment on any paid plan with a yearly commitment. Can also attach as PDF in case the team updates the docs upon seeing this post.

I initially chose Weweb because of the flexibility it gave me with respect to code exports. But now, the basic paid tier (even with a yearly commit) seems to only give me access to an export from 3 months ago. I made a lot of changes since then. The doc above seems to suggest that I could export any deployment version. But that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore:


Please correct me if I am mistaken. But this type of predatory behavior is very disappointing to see. I guess I’ll be using Weweb only until my yearly commit is up. No need to further entrench myself in tech debt.

Hi, you need to publish your app with the export toggles enabled to get the latest version.
