In moot's own words: http://chrishateswriting.com/post/74083032842/today-my-start...

I'm really sad to see this, because I saw myself that DrawQuest was gaining traction.

That said, I really appreciate what Everpix did, and I'm glad that moot seems to value that transparency as well.

Failure is a really important part of the startup process - it happens over 90% of the time - and yet it accounts for less than 10% of the dialogue.

When startups and founders share post-mortem data like Everpix did, it's an incredible gift to the community. A startup may failed, but let it not have died in vain.

I know moot reads HN, so hopefully he sees this. Thanks for giving back to the community.
