Patrick took a job at Stripe and shut the site down. My personal opinion is that the the site was over-complicated and he never actually figured out a good model for making money before the developer in him created an uber-complicated platform. It also had lots of scaling issues. I tried it a few time and there were frequent errors/downtime. Something that made me not want to use it again. For a potential employer? It's even worse. It's also a little disappointing that he took a job at a corporation, when he was looked up to in this community as someone that 'made it' with their own company.
