Yes. Squirt.io is engaging in the best kind of cultural warfare: Creating something valuable and sharing it with the world, undermining the profiteers who want to lock (other people's ideas) behind a paywall, who (attempt to) justify their claim with slick marketing brochures

Uhm, what's the difference between Spritz an Squirt.io? I've looked at both demos and I can't see much difference in the concept. Though the Spritz website is more ... ehm ... bullshit bingo compliant it seems.

Am I assuming right that the joke lies in Spritz being a VC funded startup and squirt.io just a weekend hack?

Squirt.io was in stealth mode for 6 years!! </snide>

The difference is that I can actually use Squirt.io, today. I like Spritz, but it's useless to me if I can't use it on anything but their site or the email app of the next Samsung phone.

Also, Spreeder(http://www.spreeder.com/) has been doing this for quite some time.

I wish I could see their faces right now

in rapid succession. like a flip book.

great idea.

I thought the same thing. Kinda irks me.
