Along with speakerdecks
creators (Ordered List), GitHub acquired gaug.es and Harmony.
Both are still running (although gaug.es has subsequently been given to Fastest Forward in November 2013). But that is really all I can say. As a gaug.es costumer, I saw no improvement or change on the service for all the time. Basically, GitHub kept it running, but didn't exactly show love (which they admitted in their email announcing the transfer to Fastest Forward). It's better then shutting it down, but thats more the better of two evils. This was an acquihire and the didn't buy Ordered List to continue working on their products. I expect that to be the same here.
Harmony doesn't seem to be cared about as well.
speakerdeck isn't really changing as well, but thats okay, because its whole reason of existence is its absence of advanced features.
edit: previous version sounded like I am not a gaug.es customer anymore. I still am.
- rhinoe 13y agoWhy do they necessarily need to improve it after they've bought it?
- Argorak 13y agoBecause I expect that as a a paying customer. GitHub has no obligation to improve them, sure. I am just opposing the view that GitHub is handling all this so much better. The only difference is that they leave the product stale instead of shutting it down.
