Yesterday, these people pulled their microcad-based Spirograph code. No explanation given... now it's just a 404 page.

What's up with that, Microcad? This kind of reflects poorly on your overall ability to do things like host the actual code for microcad itself.

^ This link worked yesterday when Ycombinator cited them. Now it doesn't work. Who at Microcad is scared right now? Or does this removal regard perhaps a more common situation -- such as their code wouldn't compile with microcad and so they had to pull it, rewrite it, and will publish Spirograph later?

Hey, microcad dev here. We are definitely not scared, just a bit overwhelmed by the amount of good and constructive feedback. The new link is here: https://microcad.xyz/spirograph/
