There's a good thread on Hackpad's waaaay premature announcement that they were open sourcing their code on the original hackpad/hackpad repo: https://github.com/hackpad/hackpad/issues/1 https://github.com/hackpad/hackpad/issues/1. Wonder what the story is and why the actual release was so delayed.
EDIT: Spelling and grammar
- ninetax 11y agoWas there ever any explanation for the delay?
- workerbee07 11y agoThey fired the guy who made them open source and held the release until their Notes product was ready.
- ninetax 11y agoInteresting, where did you hear that?
- mshenfield 11y agoCouldn't find anything official to verify that, or any previous comments on Hacker News / Github mentioning someone being fired. Could you provide some supporting information?
- logicallee 11y agolike the other respondents I'd just really appreciate if you at least casually attributed what you've stated to where you heard it, e.g. "heard from someone who worked there" or just heard from whoever. I believe you, since you made an account for this comment, as far as your attribution remember you're anonymous here, it's not going to get back to you.
- Throwaway4alex 11y agoI can only confirm this via a throwaway for lots of reasons, but this is correct. Note: I am not Alex.
- logicallee 11y agoThanks, whoever!
- yellowapple 11y ago> Note: I am not Alex. Likely story. :)

- radicalbyte 11y agoI'd be careful about using a throwaway. At least do something to mask your IP address and other digital footprint. You're posting to the YC forum about a YC company whom you're connected to. People involved may be reading, and it's just a short phone call away..
