Yeah, I definitely thought of Gary when I was writing the piece. The first time as tragedy, the second time as farce!

Sure, but that’s true of apps on any platform. May be worth a try to state the same concerns about iOS or Android apps and see what the CEOs in charge of those platforms say, then make the call on which you trust.

Glitch wants apps like this to succeed, so will work with him to make sure everything stays running. And Glitch apps are just totally standard Node apps, so worst case he can run it anywhere else. Anything can happen, and there are no guara

Yep, we’re betting on exactly that as the opportunity around Glitch. And the whole point of OEmbed was you didn’t have to know what it is — you just paste a YouTube link into your blogging tool & it does the rest.

Nope. We’re building a very forward-looking business around fixing these bugs, with Glitch. You can go ahead and sleep for 10 years, though. We’ll be making the web better.

Love Tantek's point, and all the indieweb efforts, but the fact that the existence of these technologies needs to be pointed out, even on HN, kind of illustrates that they're currently "lost" from the standpoint of mains

Whoops! Sorry, was messing around with my blog while apparently everybody was trying to read it. Should be fixed now.

This is so cool! (I work with the Glitch team, and we loved seeing that you mad this.) For folks who don't know, since it's on Glitch, people can view the source and remix this here: https://glitch.com/~year-in-pix

I'd like Markdown support, too. We'll put it on the list. :) I can tell you've got real passion and enthusiasm for what we're doing, otherwise the critiques wouldn't be as detailed and pointed. We want to get this r

Do you have a question that you'd want an answer to?

by anildash 9y ago
It's on the list! Two of my personal top requests to the team are Markdown & emoji reaction support. :)

You're fast! :) We'll have an update with full details soon.

In some ways. They did raise $60 million, too, which didn't hurt. I think we're doing just fine having a successful business on our own terms. For what it's worth, Atlassian's NYC headquarters is… our Fog Creek offices,

Hey! Sorry we haven't communicated well about this (that's my fault, I'm the new-ish CEO at Fog Creek). I'll write a full blog post about this, but here's the story: * We are moving to a paid model for Kiln overall;

by anildash 10y ago
[I'm the CEO of Fog Creek, which made Glitch.] I don't think we intended to indicate it's a new product launch so much as our community features and focus are new. It's a hard balance to strike without confusing people w

Our pricing is here, you can check it out for yourself: http://www.fogcreek.com/fogbugz/pricing In short: We cost a little bit more, but include features that are separate, add-on products for Jira, and generally softw

Fog Creek and Trello are two separate companies that share cofounders (and an office here in NYC!) so we at Fog Creek are happy for Trello but it's not an asset of ours.

by anildash 10y ago
(I'm the CEO at Fog Creek.) We've updated the on-premise version of FogBugz to be completely in sync with the hosted version, so all the latest features are on both now.

by anildash 10y ago
We're definitely investing in Gomix and we'll be revitalizing FogBugz this year, too — especially for folks who don't find Jira a satisfying or delightful way to work.

No problem — that's context that may not have been obvious with the way the link was posted. Thanks for being willing to reconsider! Hope you'll check out Gomix, too. :)

That might be my fault if I wrote this poorly. What I was trying to say was closer to "programming is fun, but all the prerequisites it takes to get code running these days aren't very satisfying".
112.
by anildash 10y ago
Put simply, this was my personal blog post, so it was about me & my feelings about the moment. On our company blog, or on Medium, we (as Fog Creek) wrote about the Gomix product and the only mention of me was a little blurb at the botto

Depends, I think having a bio that seems too self-congratulatory is not as bad as, say, perpetrating systemic violence or oppression against entire groups of people. Some can disagree with that, I guess.

by anildash 10y ago
Yes-ish. :)
115.
by anildash 10y ago
Yep, this is a good idea. We've been holding off so that we can use the community's actual creations as the examples, and that's what we'll feature when we make clearer introductions to Gomix. Some will be videos, some w

by anildash 10y ago
Heh, thanks. I've been on the internet long enough to know most of what folks are going to fuss about on HN probably doesn't have much to actually do with me as a person.

I wrote this post the same day as the rest of the announcements; I don't know why my personal blog post took off now, but I'd definitely prefer to focus on the product, not me.

by anildash 10y ago
This nails it — coming of age as a coder in that era really informs my perspective on how we could make more accessible tools today.

by anildash 10y ago
This was a post on my personal blog about joining the company; as the official announcements make clear, one of the biggest reasons I was excited to join Fog Creek is specifically because the team was building Gomix. I'd give 100% of

Most of Gomix is totally standard open source infrastructure, and people can release projects on Gomix under any license they want. We don't currently have plans to open source the parts of Gomix that run the community or enable remixi
