That snipit's a little misleading without the follow-on next sentence:

> The Shoes community (Shoes 3 or Shoes 4) is not growing and there is little enjoyment in working on code that no one else cares about enough to help code the internals. The underlying technology employed is evolving in ways that run counter to what Shoes is and does. It’s just time to quit. We had fun, we learned some things and we’ll leave it at that.

And then a lot of text about wandering off into home automation, Arduino, and 3D printers.
