I remember chatting with people in the Bay Area about this idea a few years ago. I decided not to pursue it because I don’t favor adversarial business models, but I’m very curious to see if this person can pull it off.

Their best chance of survival, IMO, is building a developer collaboration platform that Apple finds worthy of purchase and maybe will integrate into XCode - something along the lines of Github but exclusive to the Apple platform with lots of integrations they can rely on for workflows and such. I think I’ve read that Apple isn’t big on services, but if this were developed in a peer-to-peer sort of way, piggybacking on iCloud as much as possible, maybe they’d want it.
