| > but this was after only 10 hours of development by someone who is very busy I usually access HN through my RSS Reader. Sometimes I go through a very busy stage in life where I don't have time to read the article or save pertinent information on my offline organizer. So I save the article on my RSS Reader for when I have time. I just recently went through about a year and a half of saved stuff. It isn't the first time I've saved stuff for later viewing. What I've found (and very much to my surprise) are the number of projects that hit the front page of HN and cease to exist a year later, 6 months later, a month later... sometimes just weeks later. Poof! Gone. This is just the stuff I've saved and not representative of all projects that make HN's front page. I say all of this because the quoted line above has convinced me that this project will probably not be around for very long. It's not a criticism. It's just an observation from many years of following up on links. I'd be curious to see how many new projects that make HN's front page are still around. Free vs Paid, Open Source vs Closed, one-person development vs team, etc... I wonder if someone has attempted to put this data together. |
