I was pretty bummed out by Kontena Lens shutting down, but I definitely sympathize with their struggles. They made a really fantastic product and gave it away for free and then they couldn't sustain development costs according to their twitter page. A couple thoughts on their departure: The application (an app image that ran on your local laptop) relied on talking to their servers, once they shut down their business, the product literally 100% stopped working. That was pretty shocking, as I didn't hear that the company was struggling before they shut down. I had to go hunt around on social media to find that news as their website was also no longer up. Although it wasn't mission critical to our work flow, as it was basically a (very very nice) GUI wrapper around Kubectl, our team came to rely on it. So it was troubling when all of a sudden part of our workflow broke. I know Kontena has a few other open source products. It would be nice if they put up the old codebase up on github even if they state explicitly that they will not maintain it, although I know how burdensome it can be to prepare code for open source if it wasn't initially designed as such.

I've been using infra.app for a couple of weeks now. It is said to be created by the founders of Kitematic. I didn't know they had left their jobs at Docker to build a new tool. Very cool! I loved using their products in the past, including Docker for mac. Hoping for good things to come.
