Thanks for the send-off, everyone. Feels right somehow to hit the HN homepage one more time before putting Gratipay to bed. So many lessons learned, already scheming about Next Time™.

See you down the line! :D

View on HN

This is a startup shutting post on HN, and everyone here is focussing on how you are an awesome person. That's a first in the few years I've been here. Good luck with the next thing!

Yeah it's a little awkward tbh. There are so many other people that also put heart and soul into Gratipay! See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15614009.

Although this is not the first time I came across the names Gratipay and Gittip, I never really knew what it was. It looks like you're doing amazing things though. Do you have an RSS feed or something to follow you, so I (and others) will be notified when Next Time™ is there?

Haha OK, just make sure you get to the front page in the future :)

Tee-hee. :)

In my experience HN actually does a pretty good job of filtering signal from noise. All of our attempts to _force_ something to the homepage failed, but when we have had genuinely interesting news to share (such as this) we glide there effortlessly. The take-away for me is to focus on doing genuinely interesting things! :^)
