A similar sequence of events happened to Jase Morrissey, who developed Alien Blue for Reddit in 2010, although in that case Reddit was more gracious and acquired the app in before killing it in favor of their own: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Blue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Blue He then made Jasmine, a YouTube client which was an order of magnitude better than the official YouTube app...which was then killed for the same reasons as Juno.
