Exactly what I came here for. Thank you.

I hope they debrief here. I would think with the rise in indie hackers this would be a run away product.

Really? I thought the opposite. There are dozens of sites that do the exact same thing. Seems like a very over saturated and hard to win market.

Agree with the other comments, this feels like a project you could mostly set & forget if people were finding value with it... Would love to know what didn't work/why they were shutting down.

This is the stupidest product description I've ever read in my life.

Too bad this couldn’t be open sourced

We are extremely grateful to our loyal customers, that’s why we’re giving them three whole weeks over holidays to migrate off onto another platform.

Wow, they are not only shutting down operations, they will also delete everyone's data on December 31. Better hit that "export" button fast.

> The data will no longer be accessible following Dec 31st 2022.

They could at least automatically export the data and keep it downloadable for some time after the shutdown. But probably the reason the refunded the money before the announcement. "You got your money back now fuck off." This is terrible customer service.
