I used to use it daily back in 2013. Even put together flow [1] a stack based on it because the workflow with Pharo and Mapless [2] felt so nice.

Out of curiosity, why did you stop using it daily?

  My plan was to have something strategic regarding to the productivity of the smalltalker in terms of web applications that can deliver the UX of a single page application. Here is a talk with more spirit than skill back from 2014 trying to promote that mission https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iumCpezWzkU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iumCpezWzkU At the time I was focused in a Seaside based SaaS that I started in 2009 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z29q5PUoJs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z29q5PUoJs Although that SaaS had very low churn and very long LTV and low CAC, I failed to raise money to grow it and I've failed to find the right growth guy that could help and shutdown in 2015. My bet was to use that flow stack to make this SaaS next big upgrade to be a Single Page Application done with Amber in the frontend but didn't go well due to these non-technical issues. Then Angular was eating the web world and the React tsunami was just started. It's funny to see that now there is a come back to SSR.
