Possibly you’re thinking of the Afterpay acquisition?
- darth_avocado 2mo agoAhh sorry, you’re right, I meant Afterpay which was a $29B acquisition. I also meant Weebly not weekly (autocorrect).
- tdeck 2mo agoWeebly was interesting because before that Square had their own online store (it went through a bunch of names over time) and they existed concurrently for a while, although I'm not sure if they still do. The codebase was a nightmare and the whole team had abandoned it and moved on to other things, which meant it wasn't getting fixes or updates for a while.
