Bear has no VC investors: https://herman.bearblog.dev/manifesto/

View on HN

Are there any other maintainers? What happens when Herman Martinez is no longer able or willing to keep it going?

> This is a morbid topic for me to write about: what happens to Bear if something happens to me? I've got that covered too. There's a detailed succession plan in place, including:

Full documentation of all systems and processes Multiple trusted developers with access to the codebase Clear instructions for maintaining the platform So if I were to be incapacitated in any way, the platform will live on.

https://github.com/HermanMartinus/bearblog/graphs/contributo... paints a different story. Looks more like bus factor 1 + hopium.

edit: I thought this HN thread was about the Bear app never mind

If you read the link you just posted you can see that this person invested in a different product called Bear:

> Its portfolio includes Bear, the Apple Design Award winner notes app, …

No one is, just finish reading the sentence (or start - the op)

> Bear, the Apple Design Award winner notes app

Different Bear. https://bear.app/

Which you could have known by spending five seconds on https://lambdalpha.com, or actually reading your own link which calls Bear an "Apple Design Award winner notes app", which doesn't really sound like the Bear blog.

Stop spreading rampant misinformation.

Rampant? Isn't that a pretty extreme response to a mistaken link?

Well, it's edited now, but previously it contained strong accusations, and doubled down even stronger after someone else pointed out they're wrong.

Ah, I was late to the scene. Thanks for the context.
