Hacker News Reader

I installed Fig just now and got "Something went wrong. Signups are currently disabled." when I tried to use it.

Their servers have been overwhelmed by Hacker News traffic presumably.

There is a note: ``` Note: While we integrate with AWS, Fig is currently not accepting new sign ups ```

Yeah, now I see it.

Banning signups just when they get an inrush like this seems a boneheaded move. You never know who you can upsell on AWS later.

brew remove fig

Really makes me think they don't intend to keep it around for long.
