Eh, this person doesn't want to do it anymore. They refunded people's money for the undelivered product. That's a pretty good way to handle it. Better than slagging along putting out a shitty product just because you can't quit.

Time and energy is a resource just as much as money is. If your hobby project is sapping you of more than you get out of it, there's no shame in doing something else.

Who knows? It's a shame to end it like this.

Sue based on what? Just don't literally copy the name and design, and there's nothing to sue for.
He's doing one better and open sourcing all the templates, see elsewhere in the thread.
