Starting today there is a single source of truth for all things Gatsby. The new Gatsbyjs.com brings together the open source Gatsby (.org) and the Gatsby, Inc. (.com) sites in a unified domain so all Gatsby users are set up for success with the same resource. Unified Gatsby is a big step toward our goal of making Gatsby 1000x easier to use -- our guiding vision for the future of Open Source and Gatsby Cloud. We want to share this vision with our community, so today we are also offering a preview roadmap of the functions and features we'll be releasing in the next few months. We are also excited to announce a brand new right-fit pricing plan (including permanent free tier) for Gatsby Cloud to make sure every user has access to the ideal platform for building, deploying and collaborating on Gatsby sites.
