It's sold out and the only option if you actually connect via ssh is to give them your email address so they can send you updates.

- bradlys 2y agoMakes me wonder if this is just a ploy to email harvest and there never was any coffee being sold.

- memco 2y agoThere’s always risk exchanging money and information with a merchant regardless of where and how the transaction takes place. And SSH is a fairly unconventional way to run a business so that’s a point in favor of extra caution. That said, tit is pretty unlikely to be a scam. Two of the team members are theprimeagen and teej_dv; both longtime twitch/youtube streamers: with a reasonable following: one of whom is a core neovim maintainer. They streamed the development of most of this live on twitch. They have a reputation to uphold and a track record of other publicly facing work to help support the legitimacy of this venture. Sadly, the VOD requires a subscription and the source isn’t available (though they said they plan to open source it) so there’s not much to fall back on other than hearsay until the orders start arriving or the code gets posted.
- sm0ol_ 2y agoall the guys involved with this are public and legit. you just happened to look after they were sold out. I ordered some just fine.
- netsharc 2y agoHah, they went awesome and implemented an SSH interface, and they ended up with an unescapable "subscribe to our fucking newsletter" prompt anyway...
