As I posted on the other, stillborn, HN thread[1] about this:
I had been selling through these guys continuously for the past 19 years. Back when I set Kagi up to handle sales of my apps for Newton OS (1997), they were one of only a few companies offering that kind of thing, and were a familiar name to anybody who bought shareware back then.
But, for me, well, I guess the Newton OS gravy train[2] is finally over! :-/
It's interesting to me that I set up that store in 1997, and it ran untouched for years after that, generating a decreasing modicum of sales, every year, until today.

- stryk 10y agoWow, people were still actively using Newtons? AND spending money in it's ecosystem? Well, will wonders never cease. That's incredible. I guess some folks stick with the things they like when they find them. More power to them!
