  Last time I checked? Mercury or Om. But neither of them comes even close to the level of hype famous had (back when it was famo.us).

    Wow, things move really fast in this space. Is "back when" May 2015? The only context I have is the "Didn't you just release Famous in May?" quote from the article.

      Didn't you know? Famo.us for 15 minutes?

      Their first launch was May 2014. The thing they released then mostly didn't actually work, but was very heavily hyped anyway.

      The original hype was when they were in closed beta, which was way more than a year ago. Internet Archive[0] indicates they started promoting it as early as January 2013. Things do move fast, but hype doesn't move that fast. The reason I'm cautious is that they were extremely hyped before being able to deliver any actual code developers could use and that in the time since the original announcement, well, all of the past two and a half years happened (e.g. React).
