I asked about the open source version, and then made a tweet about how you had changed your mind (which you've admitted to here, and on our phone call). Your cofounder showed up, accused me of lying, and then blocked me before I could respond with screenshots of your company previously committing to open sourcing the new version.

If anyone was a troll in that situation it wasn't me ;-)

You're not a troll, we thought you were. We were very wrong. You were the complete opposite and wanted to help.

Paul has publicly admitted that he was wrong on the podcast. It is funny in hindsight. He denied that we said we would OS it then I reminded him that he made the graphic announcing it!

Big mistakes made on the messaging of this and lessons have been learned.

Glad I could be helpful! If you ever decide to open source the new version feel free to reach out if you'd like an advisor (or even just someone to bounce ideas off of). Open Source Sustainability is a huge issue for me, and I'm always happy to help open source companies.
