TIL. It seems like it's basically luck if someone is looking through a telescope in the right place at the right time?

There's also some social signaling here, like 415 is the original San Francisco area code – but if you got a number in the last few years it might be 628 which was added as 415 reached capacity.

I think you can guess

MySpace vibes, I have absolutely no idea what's going on! (take that as a positive or a negative depending on what you're going for here)

All the images are insanely pixelated, if you can't get hi-res probably want to rethink the design around that limitation

Ok, cool.

> I don't know if it'd have positioned itself as an "open source alternative"

It was literally a pixel for pixel open source clone of GitHub for the first few years.

GitLab, Mattermost, RocketChat would be a few good examples of products that began as OSS alternatives to well-established players.

Outline (https://www.getoutline.com) is successful on most metrics you'd judge a business and OSS project on.

I'm not sure if any of these ever pitched themselves explicitly that way on HN though. I think explicitly labeling as an "Open source alternative" brings a lot of baggage and expectations, and often says more about the maintainers philosophical POV than ability to create a sustainable business ;)

Checkout www.getoutline.com - it includes full SSO support and generally much more functionality than here with it being in development 5y

Outline has SSO in all editions, not just paid

Yep, just a rule of thumb – there are many things that the supermarket finds worth refrigerating

As a rule of thumb – just store everything how the supermarket does, they want produce to last as long as possible too.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, oranges – you'll find them all unrefrigerated

Yes, this is a new building in NYC ;-)

There is a concrete well, they are completely isolated from one another

There is a concrete well, they are completely fire isolated in this case

preferably idling in a crosswalk or bikelane

My 30+ story building has two concrete stairwells wrapped around each other, which seems like a super efficient way to achieve the current legislation

It is, CI times are fairly fast – in reality it's not been too much of a bottleneck but I'd imagine if you had a team working on the private fork you'd probably want to automate the merges from public at the least.

Like many other answers here, Outline [0] has eventually landed on a plugin architecture with a private fork for EE – the paid edition has many extra plugins providing functionality such as extra importers, auth methods, search functionality etc. The interface itself has evolved several times and we're still adding new hooks to enable plugins to integrate with different areas of the product.

This approach has really made the private fork much more maintanable.

It's depressing to see how many replies here are treating the cloned design as though it's some throwaway detail, like the design is just a coat of paint on top of the code.

We (at Linear) have spent half a decade iterating to get to this point of refinement in design and UX. To have another funded startup straight up clone it is so disheartening.

This is a good explainer video: https://twitter.com/garageklub/status/1779571445930324456

It's to protect the startups from hundreds of tiny checks emailing and hassling them. There is a line of communication between the founder and the syndicate which is technically the real investor here.

Lol, that's Angie's List.

That would be nice, but what are the other on-ramps from fiat that are usable for mainstream folks? (Genuinely asking)

It's gone, the sign-in page is there but it doesn't function

As a customer and one of those early adopter and champions of Airplane this really was particularly frustrating to experience.

I was also surprised at how poorly the shutdown was communicated, a single email went out and there was never any followup. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a reasonable percentage of their customers that were shocked on March 1st to find out they could no longer login to the product.

Bank of America still paying a cool 0.01% interest, incredible.

Literally no-one – the majority of high-tech consumer electronics would stop being produced as soon as existing chips run out.

I wasn't personally aware of the migration until after it had been executed, but if I'd reviewed the PR I'm not confident I would have known any better. It doesn't feel intuitive that any table with any foreign keys gets completely wiped.
