Kudos to Natalie and Chris for a clear, honest announcement and for stating this:
> When you do something for this long, it’s hard to imagine doing anything else. The team knows we’ve always joked about opening a hotel one day. But that, like any other wild ideas, always felt like a distant fantasy. Over the last year, we realized that we’re ready to explore a world outside of software. We’re ready to slow down a bit, be more present with our kids, and discover ourselves again.
(This is also why it's important to plan for a company eventually changing hands – even if it's bootstrapped, even if you love it and consider it your life's work. People change, as do companies, products, and teams. You're probably not going to be running it at age 80. Acknowledge that and don't be totally unprepared when it's time for a change.)
