I went to the site and was puzzled, because I&apos;d remembered that this was a paid service, and I couldn&apos;t figure out whether I&apos;d bookmarked the wrong link or had gone crazy.  Then I checked the github repo and say everything committed ~10 hours ago, and lastly, checked HN only to see the #1 story is your announcement.  It usually goes in reverse order!  :)&lt;p&gt;So anyway, a slightly longwinded way of saying sorry that it didn&apos;t work out as a business (though I was about to sign up!) and many many thanks for open-sourcing it.  I&apos;ll be installing in the AM and am deeply grateful.</text></comment>
