   > Kyle, do you still have any day to day involvement since selling to CL? I am grateful for the community you built up and hope that ZURB can bring it back up to snuff. I left mid-summer, so not presently, no. Appreciate that, and I'm h

   It was. It was sold to Zurb by CL.

   Really appreciate that! Yes, I definitely intend to provide an API.

   Also, I think that ~3 months of stagnation, low engagement, lots of "testing this out" sets, I should have a pretty good sense that I'm not going about this in a way that is interesting to others. (But as long as it is to me, then I'm happy

   Thanks. Me too. I'm fortunate to be in a position where I can run this forever whether or not it achieves meaningful scale. It's built for me (though it already has resonated with many). As far as growth is concerned, it's already growing o

    Thanks. It's built for me and the way I think a service like this should be.

    You're certainly not missing the point; the pull quotes clearly aren't cutting it. :) Going to spend the weekend reworking the way work is presented. Ideally I'd like to offer a few templates for work, such that the user can pick short/medi

    Really appreciate the feedback. You make some great points, and it's clear that what I've got at this stage falls short of truly showing off writing in a way respectful to the writing. The pullquote format is actually left over, so to speak

    Agreed, and some great points. We kept that in mind when building the new flow. You can still cancel in a few clicks and without having to type anything.

    (Answered the first half of that here: http://hackerne.ws/item?id=4229632 ) On the second half, it's a fair point. It's too early to say, but certainly worth keeping an eye on.

    > since every month is different, it may just take one cycle to get them happy again That's one thing I'm also interested in exploring: What can we do to buy us one more month to help them find real value in the service.

    That's awesome. What's interesting though is that (in my experience at least) you get a fair amount of "cancel my account ASAP and delete all the data" users. I wonder if there's any data on how Step 2 plays out in that situation.

    We'll see! I have a hunch we'll have to tune this offering quite a bit based on the user's usage history, account age, and anything else we feel can help make things better for them and keep them around. There's also a good amount we're mea

    Thank you. You're very right -- it's so easy to get discouraged at the apparent lack of activity in any early product, no matter how jazzed you might be about it. It's also easy to get caught up in the "if you build it they will come" minds

    Appreciate that, Alex. I think you're probably right.

    Initially I was thinking no more than a dollar or two, maybe with a free/preview version which would include a few selected chapters. On the other hand, I think this hopefully will be highly valuable to a lot of folks, so it may end up bein

    Off the top of my head I'm not sure if this is part of Markdown proper (or maybe GitHub's "flavor") but you can do fenced code blocks, like so: ~~~ // your code // goes here // and here ~~~
